Hi there, I have a single select field name "Département" and I want to concatene the 2 first letters (later for automation).I have a problem with this formula :IF(  OR(    {Département} = "75",     {Département} = "78",     {Département} = "77",     {Département} = "91",     {Département} = "92",     {Département} = "93",     {Département} = "94",     {Département} = "95"  ),   LEFT({Département}, 2),   "")Erreur : Missing opening parenthesis "(".Can someone help me ?

Hello!I have created an estimates / intakes base for a client. One of the goals of creating this was to have an automation that sent a confirmation email to the customer once their estimate was scheduled. When I tried to insert the Estimate Date/Time field directly into the email automation, it was not working. Someone suggested creating a different field that makes the formula more 'readable'. However, for some reason, the date is not converting properly:As you can see, while the time converts properly, the date is way off. Here is the formula I'm currently using: Can anyone identify the problem for me and offer a solution? Thanks in advance! 

Hi there,We recently decided to use Airtable as our payroll software, everything is fine but there's one problem and it's about the automatic calculation of overtime per week.We found a way to calculate those hours but it involves manually copying the sum of all the hours worked per week in the "Total heures travaillées" (total hours worked) column, we find this number of hours in the "sum" of the column "Durée" (duration). Thus, copying this sum in the column "Total heures travaillées" (total hours worked) allows us to see the total of overtime hours per week in the other column "Heures supplémentaires" (Overtime hours).In conclusion, we have to manually copy all the total hours worked per week to have the number of overtime hours so I wanted to know if there's a way that overtime can be calculated automatically without having to do anything and that we can delete the column "Total heures travaillées" (total hours worked)?For your information, in France employees can work a maximum of

Hello, I am having to add hours ("duration") to a field and outputting to a new field where a formula would be developed, however, I am not sure how to format the formula for the duration; here is my formula: IF(FIND("Algebra I", {Requires Additional Hours?}), {30:00},SUM({Total Hours Required}, {30:00})) "{30:00}" in both instances comes out red, meaning it is wrong, however, what I need to do is add 30 hours to the "{Total Hours Required}" field. Basically, if Algebra 1 is found in this drop-down menu "{Requires Additional Hours?}", it takes the value within "Total Hours Required" and is supposed to ad 30 hours and output it to this field. If Algebra 1 is not found, it stays at 30 hours, hinting at the first "{30:00}" in the IF() formula. Thanks in advance!

I have to regularly place Facebook/Google pixels on webpages and was wondering if there's a way to track via a formula, button, or script whether the pixel on that webpage is working or not. I have a field in the table for the URL the pixel would be placed on. 

I have a formula field that creates an email address for me, but when there's an extra space after someone's last name it returns an extra "." and breaks my automation connection to create the email. Ex. sandy.castellano.  --- it should be sandy.castellano I thought adding TRIM to the last name would fix the issue but I keep getting an error code. Can anyone help with removing extra spaces in the last name? Current Code: SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(  (REGEX_REPLACE(REGEX_REPLACE(REGEX_REPLACE(LOWER(REGEX_REPLACE(REGEX_REPLACE(REGEX_REPLACE(first_name & " " & last_name, ",", " "), "'", ""), "  ", "&nbs

Hello,sorry, if I ask a question that might have been asked before. I am creating a simple private bookkeeping table and would like to build a SWITCH function that stamps the DATE when a value changes ("paid" / "open").Furthermore, I have tried the TODAY() function, but it updates every day. The LAST_MODIFIED_TIME() works, but if I change the value of the field, it will automatically update again. I would like to build a function that stamps the date only once, after the value "paid" / "open" changed for the first time.This is the formula I used so far:SWITCH(Status, "bezahlt", LAST_MODIFIED_TIME()) Thank you very much!

Does anyone else keep tracks of birthday on Airtable? How do you filter it so you can see them in the new year? I typically filter them out by months but just realized that everyone that filled it in last year will now show up this year. TIA!

I am trying to make a formula that takes the date/time from a previous column, and if the time is in the p.m, display the current date, however, if the time is in the a.m, to display the previous day's date. Attached it my current formula, which works for the p.m. times, but shows a mixture of 'Invalid Date' and an oddly specific time (see photos)Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?  

Hi allI only know basic HTML so the Functions field in Airtable to me looks like hieroglyphics.In my events company, we require people to complete forms to update their existing data. I followed this tutorial: "Use a form to update an existing record" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BkAY7OHEgdc - and got the 2 tables working with automation.However - if I want to apply this method to other bases, I'm worried because I don't understand the purpose of any of the code I've written. Can someone explain what is happening/the purpose of the following (broken down to baby level please eg. what does '' do in the code? what about &?):'https://airtable.com/shrPd1axJx1k3Yg6u'&'?prefill_Guest%20ID='&RECORD_ID()&'&prefill_Guest%20Name='&ENCODE_URL_COMPONENT(Name)&'&hide_Guest%20ID=true' Happy to read material if anyone wants to point me to any resources. Thank you.

Either I've stumbled upon a great bug or I'm a complete idiot. If history is anything to go by let's assume the latter.In a greater context I'm using a formula to check if TODAY() is in the range of some dates.Sometimes the date is from an automatic Created Time field, other times it's from a regular date field. When I check the Created Time (doesn't matter if the field is with out without a timestamp) on a record created moment ago against TODAY() I get a false.I used it in a long formula, but boiled down to it's minimum it just doesn't work. IF(TODAY()={Created Time},"1","0") The above returns 0 on a record created 15 minutes ago.If I ask it to check a date field with today's date inserted, then it returns 1.What's going on and how can I work around this?

Hi all,I am trying to extract the mean/average of a set of dates through roll-ups. I am able to calculate the min or max date through the use of MIN(values) or MAX(values), but AVERAGE(values) returns NaN.Any suggestions? (thanks in advance!) 

Hi all, I'm trying to set up a HTML button with a link that includes a variable "Name" (name of the product) like this: I tried adding " " to make everything except &Name& green but it didn't work. Is there a way to put HTML in the formula and use variables? Surely I'm missing something. Thanks!  

I can't seem to figure out how to loop a concate formula. I have 2 columns: Show Name and Episode Number. Show is single select and Episode is multi.

Hello! I have a Typeform that is connected to an Airtable base.There is one question that in the Typeform that is a multiselct (the user can pick more than one option).When it translates to the Airtable multiselect field (the field is call "Select Dates"), it comes through as a massive long option that is super hard to read:  YIKES - I am wondering if there is a formula that can separate this out into distinct values, such as - Tuesday: February 28th at 12p PT / 3p ET Wednesday, February 15th at 10a PT / 1p ET Thursday February 9th at 11a PT / 2p ET Tuesday, February 14th at 10a PT / 1p ET Thursday February 9th at 11a PT / 2p ET Tuesday, February 14th at 10a PT / 1p ET (there are also duplicates in there.... but thats not the worst thing / I don't mind... )My plan is to then take the output of that formula and use an automation to re-submit the cleaned up values into the multi-select field named "Select Dates" in Airtable.The formula se

Hi All,I have text field called Name, which contains data in the following format: XXX - YYY - ###, where XXX and YYY are random texts, ### is a 1/2/3 digit number and they are always separated by " - ".In another field I'm using the following formula: TRIM(MID(Name, FIND("-",Name,FIND("-",Name)+1)+1,3)).My goal is to find the number at the end of the Name field and use it as a number in other calculations, but although the result looks good, it is not recognized as a number.Any suggestions?Thank you in advance!

Hi everyone,I'm very new to Airtables and I'm trying to figure out some formulas. For now, I'm trying to figure out training completion from my base. The 'Training Completed' field is a multi-selection field (also a linked field) that shows all training an employee has completed. I want to create a formula where if a person has completed Training A and Training B, then the result is 'completed'. So basically, out of the many options that present themselves in the multi-selection field, I need to select 2 specific pieces of training that indicate that a program has been completed. I've tried using the IF (FIND) formula. I'm getting part of it correct, where I've just included Training A, but when I try to add in Training B, the formula doesn't work. This is what I have so far:IF(FIND("Training A", {Training Completed}), "Completed", "Not Completed")  I need to add in Training B to the mix as well. Can anyone help me with this? 

Hello!I know at one time there were several threads that spoke to extracting the First Name from a full name, and also a formula for extracting the Last Name. While I can find several threads with the code for First Name, I cannot find any that show for Last Name now that I'm in need of it 😂First Name Formula Found: IF(FIND(" ",{Full Name})=0, {Full Name}, LEFT({Full Name}, FIND(" ",{Full Name})-1))I've tried different variations using RIGHT instead of left, but I either get really odd returns where some last names are extracted properly, and others are completely way off, or I get blank returns. I have several Full Names that include more than 1 name as that Last Name. Example: Olivia Gutierrez Lawson. I would need "Gutierrez Lawson" to appear in the last name field with the formula. I feel confident in some of my formula creation skills and then there are times like this when I realize just how little I know haha. I am so grateful there is a community

Is there a way to count the number of weekdays between a date range? I am currently using the following formula to count the number of days between the FROM and TO DATE:DATETIME_DIFF({To Date}, {From Date}, 'days')+1 If the date range includes a weekend, I only want to include the number of weekdays. 

Hey guysIm stuck with a problem with some formulas, I got some real good help from @Andrey_Kovalev in December but now I'm stuck, so please if someone could advise. Long story short, I have 10 records (Mon-Fri odd and even weeks)and I want the date to change dynamically, i.e Today Monday the 16th will turn into Monday 30th after midnight, so just a date change on that record. We got this to work for one week but when the date turns into Sunday 22nd the 1 row will go back to the 23rd, it doesn't remain to the 30th. The Formulas are:Calendar formulaIF(Today <= Date, Date, DATEADD(Date, 14, "day"))Date formulaDATEADD(Today,Autonumber-WEEKDAY(Today),"day")Today formulaToday()And some pics from the base so you understand:Works fine for this week and date in the Calendar formula works:And on Sundays it all jumps back:Best regardsJesper

Hi All,I currently work off Airtable's grid view, using it as a collaborative content planner/scheduler. Throughout this year, this will get extremely clustered and lengthy. At the moment, we have a status column of- Briefed in, In progress, Scheduled and CompleteAt the moment, I can filter to show if 'Completed' is not selected, but I don't see this being a viable long term option. Is there a formula where once 'Completed' is marked, the row is immediately hidden & potentially moved to another page/tab where it can be easily accessible without having to turn on/off a filter? I have heard of a few formulas/features being thrown around in my search for an answer but being fairly new to Airtable, it's still quite confusing! Thanks in advance for any help - Eryn.

Hello all!  I am trying to add up all volunteers signed up for a given shift, and I am having a bit of trouble figuring it out.  I've tried multiple approaches and I am running into a wall.  Please Help.Can I use a Rollup field in 'Table 2' to add up the number of people signed up in a # field named '# of Vols' in 'Table 1' that signed up for one or more of a possible 7 time slots? The time slots are in a multi select field in 'Table 1' named: 4:00 pm - 6:00 pm (4/6), 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm (4/6), 5:00 am - 7:00 am (4/7), 6:30 am - 9:00 am (4/7), 8:30 am - 11:00 am (4/7), 10:30 am - 1:00 pm (4/7), and 12:30 pm - 3:00 pm (4/7). Those time slot names are also the unique Identifier field in 'Table 2'. If multiple time slots are selected, the formula should add the value from "# of Vols' into each time slot selected. 'Table 1' is named 'Event Volunteer Tracker', 'Table 2' is named 'Event Shift Tracker, and the multi select field in 'Table 1' for the time slots is named 'SHIFT TIM
