Formulas

Is there a way to calculate times without using a datetime field? For example, if I have a start time of 11:30am and an end time of 3:30pm, can I use a formula to calculate the difference without using a datetime field?On the surface, I can do this by making my start and end times Duration-type fields, but I'd have to switch to a 24 hour format, which is less readable for me than a 12 hour format (Americans, amirite?). Also, the Start and End times will be used in concatenate formulas, so formatting becomes a real problem (Tuesday 8:30-11:30 becomes Tuesday 30600-41400). 

I have a field of numbers somewhere between 1-100, I'll call the field "MAX" and sort high-low. I want to be able to count the total number of records in this field, and pick the lowest numeric record of a certain percent, let's say 80%.For an example, let's say my MAX field has the following records: 95, 84, 83, 81, 70, 68, 67, 60, 54, 46. I want to count the number of records (there are 10) and find the top 80% of numbers. So this would be 10(.80) = 8 records and return a record set of 95, 84, 83, 81, 70, 68, 67, 60. Then my ultimate goal is to display the lowest number of this data set, so the result would be 60. Is this possible with a formula? A script (I don't know how to script, so this might be out of reach for me)? Thanks for any help!

Airtable support!Thank you in advance for helping me with this issue. I would like to use Airtable to track web page metrics. Each week, our company publishes web articles. The first column is the date the article was published, the second column is the name of the article, the third column is the page views and we would like the fourth to show the percent each page article was viewed. An example is below. The percent column should be as follows: 2023-01-0326.67%33.33%40.00%2023-01-1016.67%33.33%50.00%Would someone be kind enough to help me create the formula needed for this outcome? Thank you!! 

Hi! I'm trying to figure out a way to copy a record from one base to another when a certain condition is met. I have people submitting proposals for classes in one form. And once accepted, I want that same information to populate the current classes base. Can I do this? And have the info appear in different cells on the new base (like in a different order, etc)?I'm not a coding person at all, so I'm trying to figure out the most basic way to do this. Thank you!! Sondra.

Hi there Airtable folks! I'm trying to wrap my head around a simple calculation - but I'm not sure how this can be done. I'd like to calculate the % of total of a given column, I know I can input a constant number into the formula but the table will increase it records, so it has to be calculated. Essentially I want to perform the following, take each number and divide it by the total.  Is there a way to do that?Thanks a lot!

I’m trying to extract variable but similar strings of text. They all start with “PARVOVIRUS” and end with “=”. When I build this on regex101.com it works fine. I can extract it multiple times from a long list: Expression: (?>PARVOVIRUS).*?(?=1) However, when I put this back into Airtable I get #ERROR! REGEX_EXTRACT({XmlData}, ‘(?>PARVOVIRUS).*?(?=1)’) The similar strings are: “CANINE PARVOVIRUS IFA SEROLOGY TITRE: =1:20” AND “CANINE PARVOVIRUS IFA SEROLOGY TITRE: >=1:80” I can’t work out what I am doing wrong, and why airtable rejects it. Ultimately I am just trying to extract that 1:20 or 1:80 value but it’s variable length if “&gt” >= is there or not in the text.

Hello, I have a seemingly simple question that I’m struggling to solve. I want to count records meeting certain criteria - for example, how many records generated within the current month. (the end goal is for records to have an autogenerated field that is year.month.sequentialnumber – the year and month are easy, the sequential bit should be a simple matter of # existing records + 1…) If all those records shared a common link to another table, I know I could use that to generate a conditional “count all” rollup field. But it seems totally redundant to make a separate table, with a single record, and link all my original records to that, JUST to obtain my number. Isn’t there any other way? NOTE: so far my Airtable usage has not required me to learn scripting. Very open to it, if that’s an option, but - go easy on me…

GreetingsI wanted to make a formula as follows:X= {X1}+{distance}*sin({alpha})*cos({beta})I think there are no trig functions in airtable except in scripting.Can anybody help me with the coding of such a script? Thank you

I am bringing in refund data from Shopify via an automation with webhook. When more than one item is returned, the webhook sends all of the subtotal values in a comma-separated list (see screenshot below). I’m trying to put this into a currency field in an automation, but that is causing the automation to fail when there is more than one item in the list. If I change the field type to single line text, the automation will work, but then I have to find a way to sum these values in a different field. The list of values could be one or many (up to 5+). Do you know of a formula that can accomplish summing the values in the string or do I have to have a script? Thanks for all the help in advance!

Hi there, I'm trying to rank titles based on a multi-select. This is my setup:title = string field containing title of a contactprio1_titles = multi-select field where I'm specifying which a preferred contact should have includedtitle_rank = the formula I'm trying to create – fine if it gives out '1' for nowWhat I'm trying to achieve:If the title of my contact contains any of the multi-select words I want the formula to return true.I managed to search for the title in prio1_titles but this is not suitable for partial matches. For example if a title contains "co-founder and coo" I still want the formula to return true because of the partial match for "founder".Would appreciate any help with how to set up this formula.I'd consider myself an experienced no-coder, have no experience with airtable scripts so far, so I would prefer a formula solution.Thanks! 

Greetings! There is a formula for getting the ID of the current table record:RECORD_ID()Is there a formula or mechanism for deriving the name or ID of the current table? Such as:TABLE_ID()or…TABLE_NAME()Thank you!

This is not working for me - can anybody help correct? IF({Count (Purchase Contracts Signed)} < 0 ; >=1399999,0, IF({Count (Purchase Contracts Signed)} <= 14000000 ; >=2399999, 0.007, IF({Count (Purchase Contracts Signed)} <= 24000000; >=3299999, 0.01, IF({Count (Purchase Contracts Signed)} <= 33000000, 0.013 ) ) ) )

Hi all - I'm trying to set up some budgeting and forecasting tools for my CEO. I've downloaded the "Small business budget" template, which helps, but he's got a preferred way of forecasting that doesn't quite correspond to anything simple.Essentially, he's looking at when funds hit the business' bank account, not when the client pays the invoice.I have invoice information and payments coming into my "income" table. I have my "Forecasts & Actuals" table with dates calculated there to show me the range of when payments coming in would hit that month.For example - for January 2023 income, he'd be looking at payments between December 28th and January 27th instead of January 1 - 31. I've created columns with formulas that give me the "first date of payments" and "last date of payments" for each month.I'm struggling with calculating the rollup of the sum of invoices paid between these two dates, as marked on the "Income" table.  Thank you!

Hello community, pls help me with a simple formula The problem is this - you need to insert in a new field text link from the first column, but if there is something extra like "? sort=new" at the end or something similar but ALWAYS begins with a "?", then it must be removed, here is an example

Hello everyone! I have a formula (below) that calculates a Monthly Rental Fee Renewal Date that is 45 days out from the Staging Date. For one client, I want her date to be calculated at 90 days out.  How can I do that? I know I need an identifier field and I think Client Name is it (file attached). Thanks everyone!IF({Total Monthly Rental Fee w/Tax}>0,DATEADD({Staging Date},46,'days'))

Hi All, I am looking for a formula that shows value of records are “duplicate” or “not duplicate”. In Google Sheet, I use formula (=IF(COUNTIF(A:B,B1)>1,“duplicate”,“not duplicate”) but in Airtable, I can’t use same that formula. Please help me, thanks All.

Hi Airtable community,Attached photos show problem and desired solution separated by the empty row. One example in Airtable. Second example in Google Sheets. This is a small sample of a much larger dataset (hence the query).If Column-B contains 2> (2 or more) names/items then I want that row to duplicate with separate unique Column-B names/items.Your formula/script/automation and how to implement would be greatly appreciated and helpful.  Thank you,Krys

Hello,I am trying to get this formula to work and it is currently working for tasks completed on time or late and showing the correct # of days in between, but for tasks completed ahead of the expected finalization date it is not working and that is a mathematical issue as the "-1" I added in my formula to calculate the in between dates is adding to the number of days when a task is completed earlier.  How can I solve this issue?  Any ideas on a formula I can add so it understands that for tasks completed earlier (negative #) the -1 is not being added?WORKDAY_DIFF({Expected Finalization Date},{Actual Finalization Date})-1

Hi all,If I have a number field formatted as currency, and I convert it to a string with a formula like this:{unit price}&""it drops all non-zero decimal places as well as the dollar sign, so $7.00 becomes 7. Is there any way to convert to a string with the 2-decimal format intact?

In Google Sheets, I do this in a cell:=1+1...and the answer is output in the cell.Can I do that in AirTable? To be clear, I want to have different formulas in each cell, not one formula for the whole column.

Hey guys, I don’t know if this is a strange request but I hope you can help me with it. I dived into Airtable for the past months. I really love it and I’m working almost on a daily base on my Airtable base. Now I have set up a quite complex base for my company but I’m lacking of a deeper understanding of formulas. I did a quite complete course and read through everything I could find on the Airtable web itself, but I still feel as lost with formulas as with math at school :grinning_face_with_sweat: I really want to understand how to build formulas and solve the problems and hurdles I have in my base. Therefore I’m looking for a teacher that goes through my Airtable with me and explains me with the given examples how to create different formulas. Of course I will pay for it. If somebody is interested, please let me know, Thanks in advance. Best, Mad

I have a Lookup field called 'Call Result' in my Contact table for my Touchpoints table's 'Call Result' column - which is a drop down. I have a view called 'Hit Lister' and I would like to filter records where I have encountered - for example - 8 voicemails in a row. Here is an example of the contents of one such 'Call Result' lookup row record:Call Me Back, Voicemail, Voicemail, Voicemail, Voicemail, Voicemail, Voicemail, Voicemail, Voicemail, Voicemail, VoicemailThe challenge I have is when I add the condition:Call Result does not containVoicemail, Voicemail, Voicemail, VoicemailThe record is not filtered as it should be.Please provide ideas or troubleshooting steps on how I can fix my problem. For reference I have supplied a link to a video below of my cahllenge which should clarify any lasting confusion:https://share.getcloudapp.com/z8ulmjwd
