Hi, I need to have three fields that have parts of a phone number in each field. For example, if the phone number is (123)456-7890, I need three fields that return:field1: 123field2: 456field3: 7890Can anyone help me with a formula that would accomplish this? Thank you!

Hello! I'm new to Airtable and trying to create a formula field based on a date field. The formula should add 1 year to the date (the easy part), then round up to the half year beginning January 1 or July 1. For example,  5/15/23 would calculate 7/1/24; and 10/2/23 would calculate 1/1/25. Any and all help is appreciated!

Hey Everyone, Trying to create a formula that counts how many records in a date field are todays date, let me know if you know how to do this.I am totally fine if let's say there are 10 records and 4 of them are todays date and the formula counting the ones with todays date just says "4" next to all of the ones that are today - I don't need it to be like chronological as in the first one saying "1" the second one saying "2", etc. Thank you for any help, greatly appreciate it!

Hi! I am looking for a formula to calculate the school year. I have a date field that I want to use. The formula I thought would work is not working. Please see below: IF(AND(Date>“08/15/2021”, Date<“06/30/2022”), “2021-22 School Year”, IF(AND(Date>“8/15/2022”, Date<“6/30/2023”), “2022-23 School Year”, IF(AND(Date>“08/15/2023”, Date<“06/30/2024”), “2023-24 School Year”, IF(AND(Date>“08/15/2024”, Date<“06/30/2025”), “2024-25 School Year”, IF(AND(Date>“08/15/2025”, Date<“06/30/2026”), “2025-26 School Year”)))))

Hi All, I'm working on a base that needs several fields to be adjustable to display a date or text. Right now the date is being pulled from some formulas but the text is an option should the user need to add a note there instead. I'd really like to keep this all in one field instead of having a date field and a note field since this is duplicated across several different date fields. I can't figure out how to add a step to the formula to first check if something is text vs a number. Any suggestions?   

I need some help! I'm trying to figure out how to create a formula to calculate the % of column groupings total.  As you can see by the picture.  The total building size is 997,821 (SUM at the bottom).  Each year is grouped together showing the SUM of total square footage of leases expiring that year.  In 2028, there are five records (leases expiring) totaling 19,070 square feet.  How can I create a new column in my pivot table that calculates SUM of the Year (19,070 RSF) and divide it by the total building size ( SUM at bottom 997,821 RSF) to get 1.9%, for each grouped year?Unfortunately, when i try to create a new column with the formula ({RSF Total} / SUM({RSF Total})) * 100, it does not work.  Is this because my RSF Total column is a Rollup field? Thanks!

I am looking for help with an IF(FIND) formula (I think that’s what I need it to be). Here’s the result I’m looking for. If {Order Line Items} contains “8009586” display 2.5 FT Core Display, If {Order Line Items} contains “8009587” display 5 FT Core Display, if neither display None. Here’s what I have written but it’s not working: IF(FIND(“8009586”, {Order Line Items}), ‘2.5 FT Core Display’, IF(FIND(“8009567”, {Order Line Items}), ‘5 FT Core Display’), ‘None’)) I’ve created a work-around by creating this formula: IF(FIND(“8009586”, {Order Line Items}), ‘2.5 FT Core Display’, ‘5 FT Core Display’). This will show the first part and defaults to the 5 FT Core Display if the first part number is not there. It works but could have holes if neither parts are actually listed. Any help on refining this would be appreciated!

I have data that I am importing from a CSV. Sometimes it will import into my date field without issues, and other times it will simply be blank. In the screenshots I have attached, the left column is an Airtable date field (screenshot of settings attached) and the right column is the raw date data for comparison. I am trying to determine why some data will format correctly and others don't, but I can't seem to find any correlation. Additionally, I have tried using DATETIME_PARSE() but that has not yielded the correct date. Any thoughts? 

I have a User field that allows multiple users to be tagged. I'd like to write a formula that will pull those people's first names into a comma-delimited list. I came up with the following:LEFT({Users}, FIND(" ", {Users})-1)...which does the trick if there's just one person tagged. But if multiple people are tagged, the formula only returns the first name of the first person.Is there a way to make this work? I have a feeling this might require a REGEX formula though I'm not so clear on how they work...Thank you!

Hello all! I don't know how else to submit a feature request, but the formulas' support of multi-select fields is counterintuitive, so I thought I would share my experience.I want to have a computed field named {Is Executive?} where the value is TRUE if the multi-select field "Role" contains any of "Manager", "Label A&R", "Agent", "Distribution" and some others.There are multiple ways I tried to approach this:OR({Role} = "Manager", {Role} = "Label A&R", {Role} = "Publishing A&R", {Role} = "Agent", {Role} = "Distribution", {Role} = "Music Tech", {Role} = "Executive")Obvious issue: Multi-select is not properly handled (the formula only works if the record has exactly one Role).FIND statements chained with OR (like https://community.airtable.com/t5/formulas/screen-a-multiple-select-field-for-a-certain-value-to-fill/m-p/66522#M5986)Issue: If any options in the multi-select have common substrings, false matches will result.It's really important that we get this right, becau

I'm trying to figure out if there's a way to update a number field annually based on date. I've got a Position Start Date field, a Year of Experience On Entry field which is a number field that reflects the year(s) of experience the person had as of their position start date, and I want to create a field that adds +1 to the number in the Year of Experience On Entry field annually on their Position Start Date, and that field will be called to Current Year of Experience. Is there a way to write a formula that will calculate the Current Year of Experience?POSITION START DATEYEAR OF EXPERIENCE ON ENTRYCURRENT YEAR OF EXPERIENCE1/15/2022016/12/23004/13/201816Thank you for any thoughts you might have on this!

Hi Everyone, I am struggling to develop a formula to determine which position in an array another field is located. Here is my example: The Array of Trans# is 2239, 4539, 4792, 8912, 10394 I am trying to find a formula that says Trans# 4792 is in position 3, Trans# is in position 1, Trans# 8912 is in position 4, etc. I can use FIND to tell me the starting position of the string, but cannot figure out to determine which position Trans# is. Thanks so much in advance.

Have spent the day trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong and I'm totally stumped. Trying to write a formula to populate a status. If a person's start date is today or after, and their end date is today or after OR end date is blank, return "Onboarding." If a person's start date is before today, and their end date is after today, return "Active." If a person's start date and end date are in the past, return "Alumni." Those are working fine. BUTI also want to return "error" when there is something in the start date and the end date is empty. In my table there are two people with a start date, missing an end date, and it's returning "Alumni." Formula pasted below...Help! I'm new to writing formulas and I'm going totally cross-eyed trying to figure this out. IF(    AND(      {Position start date} < TODAY(),      {Position End Date} < TODAY() 

I use airtable for marketing project management of creative requests. I would like to count the timelines that my team is given. I want to count the number of days from the moment a record status is changed to "Ready for design" to said record's due date. I have a DATETIMEDIFF from date created to date due, but that is no longer working for our team. TIA

I’m using the following formula to take a record from one field to update a record in another field. IF({production Pipeline} = "Media Delivery", "Media Coordinator") & IF({production Pipeline} = "Ingest", "Media Coordinator") & IF({production Pipeline} = "Transcripts", {Assignee})Now I’m writing a similar formula but the record has multiple selections and there are too many combinations to use the same formula, so rather than use “=” I would like to use “contain” but I can’t find a way to express contains.I’m trying to get the formula to say  IF({production Pipeline} CONTAINS "Transcripts", Assignee) Is there a work around for thisI tried “!=” and “>=” and “<=” that does not return the desired results

In our scheduling table for projects (table is called "Deliverables"), we have 6 sequential dates that tend to move frequently:Kickoff DateCreative ConnectRound 1 to ClientRound 2 to ClientRound X to ClientDue DateI've been trying to write a formula (fairly unsuccessfully after researching much of the forum) that will look at all six of these dates and return the closest date that is TODAY or later. All 6 dates are in a single table and apply to all records. We're putting them in a column named "Next Due Date"What we currently have:  IF( OR({Kickoff Date}, {Creative Connect}, {Round 1 to Client}, {Round 2 to Client}, {Round X to Client}, {Due Date}), DATETIME_PARSE( MIN( IF({Kickoff Date}, (VALUE(DATETIME_FORMAT({Kickoff Date}, 'YYYYMMDD'))-VALUE(DATETIME_FORMAT(TODAY(), 'YYYYMMDD')))), IF({Creative Connect}, (VALUE(DATETIME_FORMAT({Creative Connect}, 'YYYYMMDD'))-VALUE(DATETIME_FORMAT(TODAY(), 'YYYYMMDD')))), IF({Round 1 to Client}, (VALUE(DATETIME_FORMAT({Round 1 to Client}

Is there a formula I can use to convert a date (6/28/2023) to a text (June 2023)? It'll make it easy for me to group by that month.

Good afternoon! How do I display the number of days in a month in the table, excluding Sunday. There can be as many as four non-working Sundays in a month, as well as five.

Hi all,As a new AirTable user, I am seeking assistance in creating a base to support my father's nonprofit organization in managing data. Currently, I have two relevant tables: 1) "Foundations Records" which contains information on grant agreements and applications with various foundations, and 2) "Foundations" which holds specific details about each foundation (e.g., related records, total funded amount, contact information). I would like to add a field that displays the most recent award granted by each foundation. While attempting this, I may have complicated the process, but I will explain my approach.Firstly, I created a lookup field in the "Foundations" table to gather all records associated with that foundation from the "Foundations Records" table. Additionally, I created a lookup for the year corresponding to each record related to the foundation using the same linked table relationship. My next step was to create an IF formula field that would use the highest numbered year and

Hi, I'm having a little trouble with a project.I have a table called "Report" with the report names, submitted by, email address, and attachments and another table (Contact list) with a contact list with just names and emails.My customers have to fill in a form, and this fill in the main table (report table). My question is, how can I check if the contact that submitted the form (submitted by) is already on the contact list? I would like to do like a checkbox, so I can link an automation to this column and send me an email with the contact information of people that have not been on the contact list.I can't automatically add new people to the contact list, because that table is synchronized to another base.How can I solve this problem? I thought about the function lookup, but I wasn't able to apply it. Thank you very much!

I have this working formula to return 'Reaction Hours'...ROUND(DATETIME_DIFF({Reacted Date & Time},{Request Date & Time},'minutes')/60,2) If the request and reaction times are equal, 0.00 will be returned (correctly).  But then I embed it in an IF statement (simply to prevent #ERROR outputs if 1 of the input fields hasn't been populated yet)... IF(AND({Reacted Date & Time},{Request Date & Time}), ROUND(DATETIME_DIFF({Reacted Date & Time},{Request Date & Time},'minutes')/60,2),"") Now it works fine apart from the situation where a zero is returned, in which case the result is empty/blank.  Both date fields are present, so the first part of the IF statement is triggering, but for some reason the 0.00 value is replaced by empty/blank.  Any ideas why?  

I'm having a hard time cleaning a long text value so that it can be passed to an API as a JSON value via a Post Request.  After running lots of different cleaning formulas, which all yield 'bad character' errors, I think I've narrowed the problem down to some strange behavior re: line breaks - as demonstrated in the table below, where the same formula yields oddly different outputs for different text blocks.  REGEX_REPLACE formula is used to replace ''\n" characters w/ XsThe formula output for record A works as expected.  In Record B only some line breaks appear to have been replaced.   Record C is a duplicate of Record B that has been modified with one character "$." This modification seems to trigger the formula to find the second set of '\n' characters.  In some cases, while testing this, it seems like the list view and detail view yield different results when I copy and paste them into a text editor.  One view yields collapsed text and a

Hi,I have an event list that contains a Start Day column including time (needed in some instances, but often left as 0:00). As I would like a simplified view in some interfaces, I created a formula column to display the date without the time using the formula:DATETIME_FORMAT({Start Day}, 'DD MMM YYYY')However, the formula returns the wrong day, in fact Day -1. I imagine this is due to the 0:00 time being read wrong? Any suggestions to circumvent? Adding a formula to just +1 the day would probably not work for the events in which time is indicated.Thanks! 

hello community What would be the formula for to extract from the rollup field "participant name (from imported table)" the names entered in this field and to report them individually in the formula fields, do you have an idea of the formula to use thank you Franck https://airtable.com/shroD4pRoA52pXcg6
