Formulas

Hi everyone!I'd need help creating a formula that adds a number if there is one or more duplicate of that record.Example: if i have two record 'maria', one should be 'maria-1' and the other 'maria-2' or similar.For now i've tried a workaround using autonumbe, making a formula {name} & {number} but so they're not numbered sequentially by duplicates, just by the table order.Any ideas?

  Hey guys,I just started using AirTable today and i'm going crazzy on how to set up a percentage formula.I have column A which is named goal (set up as number), column B, which is names Actual (also set up as a number field), and column C which is the variance of the two. I'm trying to create a 4th column which would show me the variance in percentage and would be great if I would be able to also show it as a progress bar. Now, I have figured out the percentage bar, but how do I get the actual percentage instead of me having to calculate it every time?Is it actually doable?I have included a screenshot so you guys can better understand me 🙂Thank you everyone!

Ok so here's the main formula I'm trying to use for my "Monday Pay Hours" fieldIF({Monday Start} = BLANK(), 0,DATETIME_DIFF({Monday End}, {Monday Start}, 'minutes'))/60-0.5This gives me the exact hours worked, minus a half hour lunch break It's almost perfect, but what I need is to tell it that - IF the formula all the way up to here: IF({Monday Start} = BLANK(), 0,DATETIME_DIFF({Monday End}, {Monday Start}, 'minutes'))/60equals less than 5, then don't add the last step of subtracting the 0.5. 

Hello,We are a marketing & design team. We have a status field on each job that indicates if the job is currently sitting "with marketing", "with design", "complete", etc. Each time we hand the job back and forth between departments, we change that status field accordingly.  The change of status is subsequently tracked in the Activity/Comments panel of the job.  Is there a formula that can be written to look back through the last year's worth of job tickets, in each Activity panel, and count the number of times the STATUS field changed?(side note: 2 months ago I created an automation to begin tracking & counting that status change, so we have the data moving forward. However, I'm seeking to gather that data from months prior)Fingers crossed.....Thanks!

I have a form that users submit each week to log hours. I have a table that captures each submission in a new row along with how many hours they have left in total (not per week). I have fields that capture the hours logged that was submitted, the total available hours, and how many hours are left, but I am unable to get it to add up all of the hours for a single user and then provide me with the remaining hours. As an example, Jane K. (1st week)Hours logged this week = 4. Total available hours = 20. Remaining hours = 16.Jane K. (2nd week)Hours logged this week = 10. Total available hours = 20. Remaining hours = 10. How do I get the 'Remaining hours' total to be 6 (4 + 10 = 14 minus 20)? I would like to base it off of the first field in my table which is a concatenation of two values.  Thanks!

Hello - hoping someone can help! I feel (hope?) the solution is simple, but I am totally stumped!GOAL: I am trying to summarize the total number of unique values across 4 linked record fields. CONTEXT: I run a coaching business that hosts group coaching sessions (called cohorts) for clients. These cohorts sessions can span across 2-3 months. I currently have a table that summarizes the total number of group sessions for each month / client. In addition to tallying up the total number of group sessions, I also want tally up the total number of unique cohorts that are meeting monthly. ATTEMPTED SOLUTION: I thought that maybe I could create two additional fields (1) that combines all the linked records for the month / client into a comma separated list and (2) a field that then counts the number of unique values within that string of text... but I can't get that t

Hi I need your help. I do have a database of records with a number of columns corresponding to each record. Now I would like to send out an email to the database in order to confirm the data they have given in previous communication (original table) and additionally I would like them to confirm their willingness to take part in the competition (checkbox) and approve new consent (checkbox). I would expect to direct them to a form page with some prefilled records (email, name etc) along with new fields (consent). After submitting the form records from original table should be updated. Is that possible and how can I achieve that. Appreciate your help. Greg 

I am creating a hour tracker for my instructors (around 70 of them).  I have a requirement in which I show how many hours they taught each month.  In table 1 (Instructor Hours) I have everyone listed, with a formula field for total hours to date and each month through 2024.In table 2 I have a form to push updates to table 1, however the form I'm using just seems to replace the current number in table 1 for each month instead of adding them up.  Should I do a rollup linking to the update field that way, just tired of bashing my head against the wall trying to figure this out, any help would be appreciated.  Thank you!

Hi all, I'm trying to create a formula to add on to a scheduling template I'm using. There is already a field for Monday hrs, Tuesday Hrs, etc. Formatted like this: IF({Monday Start} = BLANK(), 0,DATETIME_DIFF({Monday End}, {Monday Start}, 'hours')) I'd like to add a new field "Pay Hours", which stipulates that if the field "Monday Hrs" has a value of 6 or higher, it should subtract 0.5 hours, so that the column under Pay Hours shows that day's hours minus 0.5.  How do I write that formula? I've tried a few times with no luck.  Thanks in advance!

I've tried this several times and nothing I do seems to work. I'm trying to wrap this formula in an IF(ISERROR( so that if there is an error it stays blank and I can't get it to work. I'm working with a formula field that sometimes displays text and sometimes a date. if it's a date, it should be used in the formula to give me the new date and if it's text, I just want the new field to remain blank.  IF( AND( {PAY2 TV From}="PAY1", {PAY1 Formula/Manual} ), DATETIME_FORMAT(DATEADD({PAY1 Formula/Manual},{PAY2 TV Amount},{PAY2 TV Time Frame}),"LL"), IF( AND( {LTR}, {PAY2 TV From}="LTR" ), DATETIME_FORMAT(DATEADD({LTR},{PAY2 TV Amount},{PAY2 TV Time Frame}),"LL"), "" ) ) 

Hey everyone, have a question about a formula I can't get working correctly.I only have a date field (Date) and a formula field, with the formula Date=TODAY()The formula returns a 1 for today and 0 if it's another date. So far so good.What I want is if there is no date that is today, I want it to return 1 for tomorrow and 0 for the rest of the dates until a Today date turns up again.Is this possible?Its just for a simple API filtering that shows what rows to read from.

I am going cross eyed trying to figure out the correct formula for getting a % field to show up in an automated email as a whole number %. Either rounded up or down. I have tried so many and it still is not pulling correctly. I have tried round up, ceiling and a few other but they never carry over correctly.

One of my fields has a copy of a record that should not be there. Is there an operator or formula that will find the two records which are NOT unique?I did a simple search for 'copy' - that did not work. Any other suggestions are welcome.Thx.

I have 2 tables: “Home Staging Projects” and “Inventory Items”. In the “Home Staging Projects” table, I want to vlookup on the “Project ID” and return the sum total of “Rental Price” for each inventory item selected for that project listed on the “Inventory Items” table. I hope that makes sense.I’m not sure if this makes a difference, but the “Inventory Items” table is linked to the “Home Staging Projects” table by (formula) “Project ID”.Is there a way to use a formula for this?

Hello, I've looked around for an answer to this but haven't found one yet, apologies if I've been looking in the wrong place or the answer is obvious.My airtable has a list of filename prefixes in one field and a corresponding number of files in another. The prefixes are formatted something like this: item-01, and then there would be a file count that can range up into the dozens. What I am hoping to do is use those two fields to create a file name list. So if the file count was 2, I would want a list that would go something likeitem-01-001.tifitem-01-002.tifThis data would then be output to a "filenames" tab in the airtable. Is this doable? I am not good with formulas so I've been trying various solutions using linked records and automations but I haven't had any luck. Thank you for reading! 

Hello - I could use some help with a formula or automation to get what I'm trying to achieve to happen.We have job numbers that are coded as follows:23 = year1 or 2 = office identifier0001 = job number for the yearExample: 2310023 What I need to happen is the next sequential 4-digit job number to be added to the year and office identifier each time a form is submitted to create a new record, and it needs to reset each year so that on the first '24 job, it starts over at 0001. Does this make sense?

I’m looking for a way to take a duration field (eg 1:32) and show it as “1 hours, 32 minutes” like with text. I’m imagining there might be a formula I could use, but I’m not sure the best way to go about it. Any thoughts would be great!

If I make multiple selections from a dropdown list is there a way to associate each of those selections with a specific selection from a different multiple selection field? Using the existing Product Catalog template as an example it is easy to understand what my issue is..... If I choose two+ items from the multiple select "Materials" field (ex. "Light Wood" & "Metal"), then choose one or more colors from the multiple select "Color" field (ex. "white" "brown" "black") I have no way of knowing which color is associated with which material. Is there a way to differentiate between having a "Light Wood" in "white" "brown" and "Metal" in "brown" "black" "white"?

I'm trying to format Canadian postal codes. Often the person enters them as k0e1b0. I need them to look like K0E 1B0. UPPER({PostCode}) will make them upper caseREPLACE({PostCode},4,0," ") will put the space in the middleHow can I do both of these steps in one formula field?

Hello, I'm frustrated! For nearly two hours I've been looking at Airtable documents trying to achieve what I could do in five minutes with a spreadsheet using the filter or query functions. There are a few recent posts on the same subject but each case is slightly different and I'm too frustrated to focus for long. Soon I need to go off to my paid work having spent the entire afternoon on this.I've got one table with a list of unique place names in the primary field along with related data, I want a second table in the same "base" (I think that's the word) to display all places with specific matching data. For example, list all places in a specific region where the region is specified in another column of the first table.Maybe linked records or lookup or both are what I need, or neither. Nothing is clear. I follow the advice in videos and articles then in practice half the time the option to lookup for link a record isn't even shown.If it's possible with Airtabl

Hi Everyone,I'm new to Airtable and formulas and have a pretty simple formula that is displaying a hyphen as a result of a calculation of zero, instead of the number 0. I admit I borrowed the formula originally from one I found on here, but not sure why the number I've designated isn't being displayed.It's not a true numeric calculation, but a replacement I'm using to give a numeric value to a field that also has text for ratings, i.e. 3 - Exemplary, etc., so that I can total up all the ratings from different categories and assign a value.Here's the formula:    IF( {Field1} = '0 - Deficient' , 0, IF( {Field2} = '3 - Exemplary', 3, IF( {Field3} = '2 - Accomplished', 2, IF( {Field4} = '1 - Developing', '1', 'Out of range' ) ) ) )    I personally have no idea why the formula shared was nested and if that has something to do with it, bu

Hello All,I need to migrate all of my records from an old base in to a new base.  The records in the old base have been assigned a number (through Auto ID plus a formula).  We are leaving the old base behind, importing all of the records in to the new one base, and resuming work in the new base.  I am trying to figure out how I can have Airtable resume number sequencing from where we left off in the old base and continue in the new base.  The new number sequence does not have to start exactly where the old one left off, and i cannot have the Auto Number feature assign a new number to existing records that I have imported.For example, we use Airtable to create and track projects.  Whenever a project is created, we have a summary field formula that takes the Auto Number (in this example 50011) and joins with with the prefix PR- (making it PR-49998) and also joins it with the project name (again in this example it is Organic Social Retainer - TEST
