Formulas

I have a field called "Child_of" that links the child with the parent, both located on the same table.Since Airtable does not offer backlinking to the same table, I need a formula to know if the parent has a child. I do not need the backlink to be added to the parent record, such as through an automation. I just need to know if that parent has a child, in which case the formula could return the value 1. Counting the number of children would also work, returning the number of children in the parent record.I wonder if anyone could help me with that?Many thanks, 🙏 

So in my data column A is a created time date, column B has many lots, and column C has a birth date corresponding to each lot, so if column B is: 'LotA, LotB, LotC' then column C is, let's say, would be '03/28, 03/29, 03/30'.How can I add another column containing the Age where I get the following values '2, 1, 0' which is the result of the difference between the created date and the birth date for each different lot?

Can someone help me modifying this formula so that if the condition 'Trækdato (FarPay)' field is empty, the formula field is left blank? Right now it returns an #ERROR!  IF(AND(DATETIME_FORMAT({Trækdato (FarPay)}, "D")<10, DATETIME_FORMAT({Trækdato (FarPay)}, "D")<10), IF(WEEKDAY(DATETIME_PARSE(DATETIME_FORMAT({Trækdato (FarPay)}, "YYYY-MM-10"),"YYYY-MM-DD"))=2, DATEADD(DATETIME_PARSE(DATETIME_FORMAT({Trækdato (FarPay)}, "YYYY-MM-10"),"YYYY-MM-DD"),1, "weeks"), IF(WEEKDAY(DATETIME_PARSE(DATETIME_FORMAT({Trækdato (FarPay)}, "YYYY-MM-10"),"YYYY-MM-DD"))<2, DATEADD(DATETIME_PARSE(DATETIME_FORMAT({Trækdato (FarPay)}, "YYYY-MM-10"),"YYYY-MM-DD"),2-WEEKDAY(DATETIME_PARSE(DATETIME_FORMAT({Trækdato (FarPay)}, "YYYY-MM-10"),"YYYY-MM-DD")),"days"), DATEADD(DATETIME_PARSE(DATETIME_FORMAT({Trækdato (FarPay)}, "YYYY-MM-10"),"YYYY-MM-DD"),9-WEEKDAY(DATETIME_PARSE(DATETIME_FORMAT({Trækdato (FarPay)}, "YYYY-MM-10"),

I'm having a rollup field which is giving me the latest logged date from another linked table. The rollupfield is used in formular fields where it needs to show the date inserted into some text, but no matter what I do it gives me an error when I use the DATE_FORMAT() with the rollup field.  I have the following very basic script in my test field:  DATETIME_FORMAT({Confirmed Delivery Date},'DD/MM/YYYY')  And i tried to add an ARRAYJOIN(), however nothing seem to work.  DATETIME_FORMAT(ARRAYJOIN({Confirmed Delivery Date}),'DD/MM/YYYY')  Does anyone know where this can be going wrong?

I have tried multiple way, know I am missing something, but can't work out what. I have one column for Date and the next column is yes. Meaning that consent has been given and on the date in the column. I now need a formula field that will return the word 'valid' if the consent date is less than 365 days from today, and 'not valid' if the consent date is more than 365 days from today. Hope I have explained that well. I have so many good ideas, and I truly do try to work them out before I come here 🙂 Thanks in advance!

Hello amazing people! I am working on my film workspaces and trying to build a table to use for a Page Designer for a Call Sheet. I have several tabs I need to pull details from, all based on the Date Field. This Scenes tab is one of the places to pull from, and it has a Filming Date field.I am pulling IN to this Call Sheet tabWhat I need is if the Date on a record in the Scenes tab matches the Date in this Call Sheets record, I want the records to link. I will be using a number of associated lookup fields from the containing records.I assume I will need to use a Formula? I have trouble wrapping my head around those for some reason 😖 I've tried various other options and none will allow me to just say "If this date matches that date please link" and I can't restrict to a view because I would need to change that parameter for every new call sheet.I hope this makes sense! If anyone has any suggestions I would really appreciate it!

If you look at my attached images below, I'm struggling with the CONCATENATE function. I want to add the COMPANY as a  prefix to each of the multiple items listed in the PRODUCTS column, but concatenate only adds it as prefix to the first item.I am doing this so that it will reference a price list. We offer the same products to each company, but each company has a different set of prices. I was going to figure out how to automate the copy/paste from PRICE CODE to PRICE, but I couldn't even figure out how to get the price code in the correct format. Thanks in advance for any help! 

Hi all,Some context: I have multiple bases with a list of tags that can be associated with records in other tables through a linked record field. If the users cannot find the tag they need, they can enter it as a new tag, but due to view permissions, any new tags created by these users will be given the status "requested" from a single select field. The single-select field can only be changed by an admin through a script triggered by a button, effectively "approving" the request. Since these admins will be handling requests from many various bases, I wish to create a common location for all of the requests, so they don't have to switch between bases to approve/deny requests. I first tried to accomplish this with an interface, but since the scripts don't work in the interfaces, this won't work. I then thought to go for a simpler solution: creating a synced table in a "master-base" with multiple source tables, listing the "requests". However:I need to indicate which source

Sorry if this is a basic question— I am just starting out learning how to use formulas with little/no prior excel experience.I have a formula that calculates the difference between today's date and the date a video was released. I have it returning the # of days: DATETIME_DIFF({Today}, {Video Date},'days') Is it possible that instead of returning the number of days, it could return # of years, #of months, #of days? So, instead of 952 days ago, it returns: 2 years 7 months 10 days? Thanks for any help.

I am trying to build a module in Make (Integromat) that will find a single Airtable record that matches an AND + OR condition:My formula is:AND( {NMI}="XXXXXXXXX", OR( {Subscription status}="Active", {Subscription status}="Pending", {Subscription status}="Extend"))If I create a dummy formula field in my Airtable  base and use this formula, it displays the value '1' (for 'True') in for the record I'm looking for, and all other records have the value '0' for False.When I use this exact same formula in my Search Airtable module in Make, it does not return any matches Any ideas on what could be happening here? I'm scratching my head...

Hi everyone, Thank you in advance for any suggestions you may have 🙂 I'm working on creating an always up-to-date Airtable that consists of records being updated in Podio. So within Podio, I have an app with a sheet consisting of people; my colleagues have access to Podio, so when someone new needs to be added to the database, they can go on Podio and add to the table. However, in Airtable, I want to be able to update the new records that are created as well as any changes being made. That way, I can ensure that any new data being added to Podio is also being reflected correctly in Airtable.At the moment, I have the simple scenario to 'watch items' in Podio and to 'create records' in Airtable. The thing that this does not take into account is the new data that has been added to Podio. Could someone suggest a scenario that will allow me to continuously update Airtable with the right records so that I can always have the most up-to-date information, even when my colleagues a

Hi everyone!I'm new to Airtable so I need a bit of help.I have two bases with one main table named the same. "Students" and "Mentors"The "Mentors" base is published as a sync table in the "Students" base, and vice-versa.In the "Students" base, I have a list of students, and each row has an associated "Mentor" from the Mentors base.Now, on the "Mentors" base, I'm trying to count how many students each mentor is assigned to.I imagine I might need to use a formula, but that's beyond what I know how to do.Help? 😄 

Hello all, I'm hoping for some help with formulas that will allow me to achieve below. I have scoured all the brilliant responses to similar questions, but none quite meet with this. The format will always be the same but character lengths with vary. Also, the final .pdf that I am excluding may sometimes be a different file format. 

I've got records of song names.  I have a field with the dates we've played the song.  I want another field to extract the most recent date the song was played, but don't know how to get there.  How do I extract the highest number from an array?  Seems like it should be a simple MAX() command, but that doesn't work.
