Hello, I'm stuck trying to figure out how many workdays exist in a given month. It is easy enough to get the number of workdays between a start and end date using the WORKDAY_DIFF() function, and it also seems possible to collect the total number of days per month. However, I have not come across a solution to determine the number of workdays per month. Any help would be appreciated!

I want to be able to vary the decimal based on the data entered in the reference field. Thanks all.

Hi,Am using a formula I've used in bases before, but it's behaving strangely.  It's subtracting a day off of the returned value.  I have two fields with dates.  Only one of the two will ever have a date in it.  I want the formula to grab the date from whichever field has a date already populated in it (from another table)Here is the formula.  IF({Shoot Date Rollup (From Scenes)}="", {Shoot Date Rollup (from Set List)}, {Shoot Date Rollup (From Scenes)})Example:Shoot Date Rollup (From Scenes) = 7/25/23The formula Returns 7/24/23Same if it's the other field that has data Shoot Date Rollup (from Set List) = 8/10/23Formula field returns 8/9/23Thanks for any help.

I am trying to follow this video tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BkAY7OHEgdcThe formula: 'https://airtable.com/shr12G6XKocbeGi0H'&'?prefill_Doll%20ID='&RECORD_ID()&'&prefill_Doll%20Name='&ENCODE_URL_COMPONENT({Doll Sculpt})&'hide_Doll%20ID=true' However, the part to hide the record ID is not working. This is what happened to the form:As you can see, the "Doll Name" area has the formula to hide the record ID in it. 🤔 🤔 I tried doing it exactly like the video and only having "(Doll Sculpt)", but it said there was an error with the formula and I was forced to use "({Doll Sculpt})". Could this be the issue?I haven't even tested the functionality (I haven't set up the automation) of this yet because I have hit the snag listed above. 😥Thanks for reading!

Hi there smart people!I'm looking to show the percentage of improvement since the implementation of our new Figma redlining process from our team survey. Right now, 5/8 people say the process has either improved or greatly improved! Is it possible to show this in Airtable's Interface? Either as 5/8 or 63%? Participants will continue to add to this survey in the coming weeks. So, I need a create a formula that will update the Interface accordingly. Please, let me know if anyone has an answer!

Hello, I am working with Airtable and Softr. Sometimes it would be helpful to show or hide single rows of a table. So I am looking for a way/formula to easily switch on or switch off (mute) each row in a table with "single select". Sort of like enabling or disabling the contents of the row (all columns). -- Of course, the content of the row will always remain and will only be shown or hidden. Is this possible? Many thanks in advance for your answers and suggestions! 🙏

I'm building a table with many due date columns and they all need to be automatically calculated based off of one "publication date." For example one due date might be 21 days before publication. BUT, I always want the due date to fall on a work day. How do I make that happen? And a second, related question: I'd like to have the same sort of setup for one of the tasks but instead of an auto-populated single date, I'd like the formula to return an auto populated 3 week time range. (The weekdays are not important for that one.) 

I have used a formula to create a new date value based on another date cell: The Next Due Date uses the following formula: SWITCH(Frequency,'Weekly', DATETIME_FORMAT(DATEADD({Task Due}, 1, 'week'), 'DD/MM/YYYY'),'Monthly', DATETIME_FORMAT(DATEADD({Task Due}, 1, 'month'), 'DD/MM/YYYY'),'Quarterly', DATETIME_FORMAT(DATEADD({Task Due}, 3, 'month'), 'DD/MM/YYYY')) However,  to set up views and automations I need to be able to use the conditional properties of a date value, and I can not seem to filter on any of the normal date values. Is there a way to filter Next Due Date to be 'within' and 'the past week'? Thank you! 

Hi all, I’m trying to work out a simple countif alternative which adds numbers in a column only based on a dropdown selection in another column. For example, if I have dropdown options based on project status (ie. “Not Started”, “In Progress” and “Complete”), and a simple number column tracking how many apartments are in each project, can I have a third column with a formula counting the number of apartments only in Complete projects, which I can then use to create a dashboard display? Or do I have to create a separate view and sort/filter the data this way. Keen to avoid as I already have quite a few different views set up. Thanks in advance! AC

Hello, I am pretty new to airtable and have a slight issue with fetching info from a record within a record. With an automation i create a number of records within a record to be able to choose multiple products for the same order number. (Not a lot of context here, but it would be a way to long post if I provide all the context)All I want to do is separate the info, in the following case, for the two elements.Looks kind of like this:Amount & product (linked records)Weight (lookup)Weight, first element(help here)Weight, second element(help here)120 Coarse,100 Fine4.5, 3.04.53.0 Is there any way to fetch certain info depending on the position of the lookup element?  Thank you!

I am using the field, "Total Days Open" to count the days between the date something is submitted and the date that work is completed. The formula is: IF(AND({Work Completed} = BLANK(), {Submission Date} = BLANK()), "",IF({Work Completed} = BLANK(), DATETIME_DIFF(TODAY(), {Submission Date}, "d"), DATETIME_DIFF({Work Completed}, {Submission Date}, "d")))On a separate tab, I want to calculate the average total of days based on the Health Plan link to the records I want to average. I have been trying to use the Rollup field but it is returning a value of "NaN"

Hi! I’m creating a base of videos from youtube. I have an attachment column in my base and I want to put there video thumbnail. All thumbnails have the same link but with different ID. For example: Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pAl9SayLzTE ID: pAl9SayLzTE Thumbnail link: https://i.ytimg.com/vi/pAl9SayLzTE/maxresdefault.jpg Questions: Is there a formula that will create a link to thumbnail with a known ID from another cell? So I need some formula that will insert ID in a template https://i.ytimg.com/vi/XXXXXXX/maxresdefault.jpg instead of XXXXXXX How can I insert the result of this formula in the Attachment field? Can I somehow receive other info about a video by the link or video ID? (I understand that is another question and big topic, but maybe you have some useful links to read) Thanx!

Hi Everyone!So I would like a formula field where it shows the month and year of the End Date match the month and year today, say "This Month". I only know month and year separately as shown below however, I want them together in a single-sentence formula. IF( MONTH({END Date}) = MONTH(TODAY()),"This Month")IF( YEAR({1st Payment Date}) = YEAR(TODAY()),"This Year")

Is it possible to use a formula or some other work around to find the most recent date across 4 rollup columns? See photo. I'd like the left column to then show the most recent date, the 4 columns are different donation platforms and it'd be helpful to summarize that info to one single column showing most recent date regardless of the donation platform. 

Is there any way within airtable to return multiple row headers based on a column match? I have an example below. Basically my master base is company-focused but I have two fields "Investors" and "Investments" which would both be matching items in the "Name" field. Ideally I want to be able to tag "Investor(s)" in a column but have the "Investment(s)" column auto-populate pulling in "Name" based on a match of "Investor(s)" to "Name" in that particular row. NameInvestor(s)Investment(s)Startup AInvestor A, Investor B Startup BInvestor A Startup CInvestor B Startup DInvestor A, Investor D Company A  Investor A Startup A, Startup B, Investor DInvestor B Startup A, Startup CInvestor C  Investor D Startup D

I want to use formula TODAY() BUT I Don't want that it will automatically change with each passing day. I need that the original date that was created, will stay the same. Is there another formula that can do it? 

Over time our long text field with bullet points has evolved into 100+ lines and we're looking for a way to no longer add new bullets at the bottom of the field, but rather at the top. Hence the very logical question: on existing long text fields how could one "invert" the bullet points. As an example:Item 1Item 2Item 3Should become:Item 3Item 2Item 1I've tried to use the "LEN" formula but haven't been able to produce anything working. Many thanks,
