Hello everyone,


Tinkering with my garden automations and I have seasons on my mind. There’s a couple of items I’m working on and thinking about, and figured I may as well post my questions here to help advance my Airtable skills.


Firstly, spending time with a Switch statement, is it possible to stack cases? For example;


SWITCH(Month{Date}

,1,"Summer"

,2,"Autumn"

,3,'Autumn'

,4,'Autumn'

,5,'Winter'

,6,'Winter'

,7,'Winter'

,8,'Spring'

,9,'Spring'

,10,'Spring'

,11,'Summer'

,12,'Summer')



SWITCH(Month{Date}

,/1,2,12],"Summer"

,/3,4,5],"Autumn"

,/6,7,8],'Winter'

,/9,10,11],'Spring')

And what are peoples thoughts on having rolling seasons within a recurring calendar? Not too sure about this one though, trying to map it out still, so perhaps it’s more of a base design question. 🤔 


DATETIME_PARSE(DATETIME_FORMAT({Recurring Date},'MM/DD')&"/"&YEAR(NOW()))

No, it is not possible to stack cases as in your second example. Your first example should work fine.

Thanks Justin, if as a Community Leader, you have the ear of Airtable Devs, could you shuffle this to them for comment? Would make life easier if we could support a range within a Switch Statement. One day I’ll find to explore this further with an Automation script.

Unfortunately I don’t have the devs’ ears, at least not in a way that can influence any of their work. The “Community Leader” badge just means that a) I talk a lot, and b) some of it makes sense. :winking_face:
