As a business user, I would like to display and edit records with periodic values using a columnar layout so that I can view and update repeating data in a compact form. The columns should be based on a filter (such as a date range), so that one view can be used to dynamically change the range displayed. This capability would allow AirTable to replace separate software we use for time sheets (hours per day for each person), project planning (effort per month for each task), budgeting (amount per month for each account), and more. Displacing any one of these products would make Airtable pay for itself.


Implementation note: This is like a pivot table, but where data in each column can be edited and the range of the columns displayed is dynamic based on a filter.

could you make an example ??

I think what you want is possible already via linked tables

For a table like this:

Name | Date | Hours

Sam | 01/01/21 | 4

Sam | 01/02/21 | 8


Create an editable view like this:

. . . . . . | Date / Hours

Name . | 01/01/21 | 01/02/21

Sam . . | . . . 4 . . | . . . 8


Using “Display HOURS as COLUMN by DATE”.

Or, equivalently allow a pivot table to be edited, which is simple to implement IF you add a restriction for no aggregation (so every cell maps back to a single row in the source.
