Multiple IF AND statements

I'm trying to compare data from 2 columns to result in a rating. I'm trying to break it down first before going crazy with multiple IF AND statements. Below is the first working example:IF(AND(A=100, B=100), 5, BLANK())Below are the conditionsIF A=100 AND B=100, rate 5IF A<100, A>=97 AND B<100, B>=97, rate 4IF A<97, A>=94 AND B<97, B>=94, rate 3I have tried the following and it's not workingIF(AND(A=100, B=100), 5, IF(OR(AND(A<=100, A>=97), AND(B<=100,B>=78))), 4, BLANK()))

Convert mixed text to number

I have a "rate" field that comes in in different formats so airtable (and excel) treat it as long text.In excel I convert it to a number with this formula:  =IFERROR(VALUE(IF(ISNUMBER([@Rate]),[@Rate],LEFT([@Rate],FIND("$",[@Rate])+4))),"")Because the field can be:1) A normal number = keep as is2) Or something like this:  "$ 0.00Setup Fee $ 995.00" - where I am trying to strip out the spaces and "Set-Up Fee..." language.Need help with a formula to do this in Airtable if possible.  ISNUMBER doesn't exist because the field type is set as text, etc.  I'm wondering if I need to use scripting...but that would be a first for me.Thanks.

If Statement

Hey Everyone,  Needing help with another if statement.  It is not behaving in the manner I am expecting. I have 3 fields Odo calculated (Formula Field), Odo miles (Number field) and Final Odometer (If statement).  I am trying to have the Final odometer field populate with the odometer calculated field if the odometer overwrite field is empty.  If the Odometer Overwrite field is not empty I want that number to populate in the Final Odometer field.I currently have IF({ODO Miles} = " ",{ODO Miles}, {Odo Calculated})

hi! trying to get a nested if formula to work based on market and the only country that is pulling is the first (US) but not FS. if i switch "US" to "FS" for example, it will pull into the FS market and US. it seems to be an issue with the conditional statement finding a match and then stopping. any idea how would i fix this? IF(Market="US",IF(Channel="Natural Search",0.59,IF(AND(Channel="SEM Brand text",Quarter="Q1"),0.1,IF(AND(Channel="SEM Brand text",Quarter="Q2"),0.1,IF(AND(Channel="SEM Brand text",Quarter="Q3"),0.1,IF(AND(Channel="SEM Brand text",Quarter="Q4"),0.1,IF(AND(Channel="SEM Nonbrand text",Quarter="Q1"),2.12,IF(AND(Channel="SEM Nonbrand text",Quarter="Q2"),1.92,IF(AND(Channel="SEM Nonbrand text",Quarter="Q3"),1.7,IF(AND(Channel="SEM Nonbrand text",Quarter="Q4"),1.7,IF(AND(Channel="SEM PLA",Quarter="Q1"),1.55,IF(AND(Channel="SEM PLA",Quarter="Q2"),1.47,IF(AND(Channel="SEM PLA",Quarter="Q3"),1.18,IF(AND(Channel="SEM PLA",Quarter="Q4"),1.18,IF(AND(Channel="Affiliates",Q

aging formula, difference of days between date opened and when records status = complete

Hello, I need to create an aging formula with an If statement to track when a record is open with a count of days until it gets closed and ultimately stops counting.  I then want to be left with the difference of days between the date opened and the date completed,  in the days-old column.   Currently, the Days old column counts days open from the date the record was created.  DATETIME_DIFF(TODAY(), DATETIME_PARSE({Opened date}, 'MM-DD-YY'), 'days') and just keeps counting.  Any help is appreciated!

IF formula error message

Hi everybodyI am having trouble with an IF formula.As background – I have a table that includes three multiselect fields. I am trying to count the number of instances of a particular keyword (could be a single word, or multiple) in each field. Below is the formula I am trying to use:  IF({KW Taxonomy L1}=Natural Sciences,"Yes","No")Which isn’t working.The fields are not linked to another table. Should they be? Am I barking up the wrong tree and should be using another formula entirely?Many thanks

Prefilled Forums

Hey guys,New to AT, and needed some guidance on what I'm trying to accomplish, and if AT can do this via the forms. I'm designing a form and was curious if I was able to select an entry (via drop down), and then it'll auto populate another field with whatever said user selected in the first field (drop down).I tried this with conditional statements, but maybe I'm lost.Ex #1: John Doe selects "Timecard" as an entry in the drop down field > The next field is populated with whatever is associated with "Timecard".Ex #2: Jane Doe selects "Building 1" as an entry in the drop down field > The next field is populated with whatever is associated with "Building 1".I wanted to make this form pretty simple for whoever's entering information. I can prefill those entries out in AT and possibly have it hidden - upon selection. So if John selects "Timecard" the next field will bring up options for him to select, rather than John manually entering into the field and possibly entering a typo.

How to convert duration field into into a HH:mm:ss text field?

This seems like something I should have been able to figure out, but I've been struggling to come up with a solution. Duration fields are handy for inputting data, displaying data, and manipulating it in Airtable. But the underlying data is the number of seconds in a text string. For example, one hour, seven minutes, and seven seconds will show as 1:07:07 but the underlying data is "4027". When I use the output via automation, the field output is 4027. I want to use 1:07:07. Does anyone know a formula or automation that I can set up to convert seconds into a HH:mm:ss text output?

Comparing date field with date from lookup fails

In my CRM, I am trying to compare two date values in a formula, in order to figure out which "Next step" value is the most recent. In my Interactions table, {Last contact lookup} looks up a value in my Clients table which is the output of a rollup that outputs the MAX date value from interactions for a given Client record. {Actual interaction date} is the result of a formula that compares the Interaction record's creation timestamp to an optional user-entered value, and outputs the user-entered value if it's non-zero.My formula is simple: IF({Last contact lookup}={Actual interaction date},{Next step}). Unfortunately, that formula fails to produce results. The fourth row should have "Find information" in the Last next step column. Any ideas why this doesn't work?Just looking at the screenshot above, it looks like a problem with formatting, given how the timezone appears. But Airtable understands the lookup value as a date:My only other thought is that the problem is that Next step is a

How to create a loop that updates every record in a view?

Hi there,First question on the community 🙂 We are moving our social media calendar to Airtable, and it will be very useful if I create a formula or automation for a certain need.As in the attachment, we use a loop of BG colors for each post on Instagram, and it's repeating every 4 posts as: Blue, Cyan, Other, Cyan. What I need here is when a new record is added to the view (Instagram), if the previous field in the column is Blue, it should print Cyan, and if it's Cyan, it should print Other. I can use Cyan2 for the second Cyan to avoid confusion. Is there any way to do it in a simple way with formulas or automation?Thanks in advance!

Sum Ifs in Airtable

Hi everybody,During my continued transition from Google Sheets I encountered a problem that I can't really find a solution for (or I am not understanding the other posts on this).Here's he situation: In Google Sheets I have three sheets - orders, customers and overview. In the latter I could change variables to see different information from the other two, such as the total number of orders for a customer in a given time period. To display this, I used an Arrayformular with SUMIFS, so I could check for multiple conditions based on my entries (e.g. "from" date & "to" date, order sum larger / smaller than, etc.). I understand that in Airtable "Rollup" seems to be the feature to replace this. BUT: When setting the conditions for these rollup fields, I can not reference to other sheets or fields and have to enter static values. So I cannot say "display all orders after <field A> in same sheet" but have to enter 01/01/2022. This is a serious issue for me. Does anybo

"Can you attend?" form

Evening! I am trying to create a table with multiple purposes: 1. Share and store meeting notes2. View date for next meeting 3. See who attends each meeting - this is the one I need help with. _______ So I have created this table:Each Record has its own form link. The form currently contains a Single selection option with the names of the users and the name of the meeting. What I need now is to somehow include the date of the meeting so that when my colleagues receives the form, they'll be able to also see the date of the meeting; w/o the date it will be difficult for them to answer yes or no to the invitation. In the shown table, I have created a formula that automatically generates the next meeting date based on a rule (eg. 14 days from now). Can I in any way include that date field into the form? Thanks in advance for your assistance!
