Forgive me if this is complicating. Tried contacting Airtable Support but it has been a while with no response. My browser Airtable has no issues what so ever but I prefer to use the App for my Macbook. Never had an issue until I changed my email on my account (can only be done in browser). Now the App no longer reads my email address as having a account, then i try to sign-in with google but it auto signs in. I have cleared my cache to try and stop that but it keeps auto signing in to my old email address which now has no dashboards in that file. Any tips on how to use my app again? I have tried uninstalling and re-installing. I have gone into App data and deleted cache, deleted browser cache and used the airtable option to clear cache which does not seem to do anything.

I have two tables:A list of members with a primary key of membership numberA list of payments made from all members.  It doesn't really have a primary key, but I could make one.  I want it to use the 'foreign' key from the membership table aboveWhat I want in my interface is a way of displaying all the payments made by just that member being viewed at that time, and entering payments made in the table on the interface.I have got as far as inserting an element of grid, and picking the fields I want visible AND editable, but there is something I am getting wrong as the element seems to be locked for editing saying it is ' not available in look up element mode'Can anyone see what I am trying to do here and how I can make it work?  Maybe I am thinking about the table set up in the wrong way, and should be trying a one to many relationship rather than many to many, but I don't know how to go about it.Simple language please.  I

I'm working with a fixed asset inventory base with close to 6000 records.  One of the issues that I'm having is the slow record fetching after scanning a barcode.  My primary field is a formula field that pulls from the barcode field.  I have a view that only shows a minimum of fields that I need to update the record as last seen at location on what date.  When I select the current date to show when I last saw this record it lags.  I find that if I push the record up with a finger gesture on my iPad it seems to update quicker, but not always.  I've tried creating different views by sorting the barcode field to see if that would help the indexing of the field for faster record fetching, it hasn't.Anything ideas on what to try next?  My attachments are already over 20g and I'm less than half way done with the annual inventory.All the Best!Pablo

We are searching for a payment platform to link to Airtable. We are an arts organization that accepts fees from artists and donations from sponsors that we would like to integrate into Airtable. Last year we had about 300 payments of these types. We have had trouble understanding if and how Zapier/Stripe might work for us, Any suggestions?

Hey all, I might have been swept up in some A/B testing, but I’ve started seeing an “Email me a copy of my responses” checkbox at the bottom of some of my forms some of the time. When the box is checked, it opens up a yellow email field. When I put in my email I get a receipt and my browser is redirected to an airtable.com signup form. My question is, does anyone know how to turn it off? My feedback for the Airtable team: I like the receipt capability, that’s a great addition. But on this particular form (and many others like it) I don’t want people to be diverted to create an account. Oftentimes the form is one step in a longer journey/process I’ve created. This changes disrupts all that since I can’t enable/disable or - for now - even pre

I am using the following path to link to my specific view in a tableairtable:///tableID/viewIDOn desktop, the url works fine which open up that view. Problem occurs when I try to open the url on my phone. If I have already opened another view on the same table on the airtable app, then the url will not redirect the app to the specific view but rather stay at the view that I have been opened. This problem will not occur if the already opened view is on other table.I want to know how solve this problem. Thanks.

I’m curious to know if record IDs like reciw1K6rcYbpRN0o are unique for a table, unique for a base, or unique across bases for an organization.

Hello! I am new to Airtable but my organization has been somewhat using it for a bit now. Our main workspace as 14 collaborators listed as a creator or an owner. In the workspace settings, they're listed as billable collaborators but we've never paid for an account.My first question is this, how are we using 1 workspace with 14 collaborators listed? I do know they're not all actively using it but they do have accounts so I'm not sure if that matters.My second question is: I'm needing to create a separate workspace with just 2 of us as collaborators. Will we need to upgrade our plan to have a separate shared workspace? It needs to be a workspace and not a base as the information isn't accessible to every one in the organization. I appreciate any help and insight to the matter. 

Hi Airtable community I’m a new user and i have a problem with a formula that’s probably simple for everybody here. I need to make an url with this formula for my typeform : CONCATENATE(‘https://mytypeform.typeform.com/to/gMQE2K?company=’, {Company}, ‘&person=’,{Person} ,’&id=’,{ID}) But there is often spaces in the names of the companies, which is breaking my URLs I found the formula to substitute the spaces : SUBSTITUTE(fieldName, " ", “%20”) But i can’t figure out where to place it in the final formula. Thanks a lot if you can help ! Sébastien

I am using airtable to keep track of medical records. I’ve uploaded several X-rays of the same bone, but they all came in as separate records. Is there a way of combining all the images in a single record now? drag and drop isn’t working, and copy paste just replaces the one whole image with another. I need multiple images to be attached to one record. Any ideas?

Hi! Is there any way to schedule a post and have Airtable post it on FB and Instagram automatically? Thank you!

Hi there - We are setting up our Gantt chart to have phases, tasks and milestones, but there is not a way to sort so that the phases are on top, or also in the right order. How do you organize your Gantt views?

I would like to know if it possible to link Airtable and Trello without Zapier or any other paid service?I have searched through 'Extensions' in Airtable for anything with the word Trello without success.The only post I found was back in 2016 and of course points you to Zapier.https://community.airtable.com/t5/other-questions/trello-airtable-nirvana-of-project-management/m-p/91927#M27188While I have nothing against Zapier (I am sure it's a great tool) but in my simple small personal case it would be an another unwarranted expense having to pay for this.I am guessing there is no other alternative and building a custom extension would (I assume, pls correct me if I am wrong) would require more knowledge of proper coding, it would be great if it didnot.Thanks in advance for any solutions a

Hi all! First post - seems like a great community.I have an Airtable view that I'd like to be semi-public: Users who have an account with us should be able to log in and view the view, but those who don't should not. Can I do this from a security perspective? As I understand it, if I embed the view anywhere it has to be inherently fully public and that anyone with the link to the view (that the embed code uses, for example) would be able to just open the view directly in Airtable.Is there any way to do this?

I have an embedded Airtable view in a website that acts as a directory with contact information. I'd like to keep track of how many times each person listed in the directory is sought after and add a counter to that person's record. I thought about doing this by hiding the email address field of each contact behind a button, and when the button is clicked, doing two things:- Revealing the email address of the contact.- Incrementing a counter field on that record to show that another person was interested in this contact.I wrote a script to do this, but soon ran into the fact that you can't have a button running scripts in the embedded view and it is hence greyed out.Is there anything I can do to solve this problem, regardless of if buttons is the right solution?Thanks! 

I’m looking up some text from a different table (Which is another look up from a 3rd table). But the look up creates stacked text (I’ve expanded the length of the field - but still stacked) Is there a way to get rid of all these line breaks and make the text all on one line?

Is there a way to free up space used by deleted attachment.? I read an earlier post that stated that deleted attachments are stored in the base's snapshots and until the snapshot history expires (in my case 6 months), the space is not released. Is there a way to fix this or perhaps even seek a shorter time for retaining snapshots for this base? Thanks.rex

I see this option "Copy field URL" in the dropdown menu when right-clicking on a field header:I am intrigued by it and what it is useful for. I cant find mention of it in the docs, other than a screenshot that contains it but doesn't explain why: https://support.airtable.com/docs/field-type-overviewAnyone have any idea what it is used for? If I paste it into a blank tab it does load the base then highlight the appropriate field, but that seems like a bit of a lonely specialised use-case for a whole menu item...

This forum board is a total train wreck. I hate to come here now.I submitted a couple of times for last few years a request to Airtable for adding a field search everywhere on the mobile application (iOS, Android etc), this is badly needed. I have 100s of fields and it is impossible to scroll through the list of fields to select from the list of fields, the one field I want to pick, e.g. as filter, or show them in view, or sort by etc. anywhere on the mobile app when I need to pick from the list of my fields.So far nothing happened much. Anybody facing the same situation as a mobile app user?

I am creating a table to record games and scores from foosball games with some friends. I am trying to calculate a few different stats and having trouble or always feel like I am doing it the hard way. Also curious what else could be done with the data available. Anyone have some tips/inspiration? I was going to share the table but I am not able to post a link. It basically includes all games, scores for each side, winner/loser, date. Interested in calculating stuff like avg. score differential, head-to-head matchups, longest win-streak, and whatever else. Just having fun with it and learning Airtable. The right answer to this could also be Airtable isn’t the best for this.

I have several rollup fields that search a table ('Transactions') for all accepted contract values for each given project via sum(values). For some reason, the rollups have stopped working and no longer sum up any new records added to the Transactions table. I am able to add and change previously working records, but any new records are not updating. Any assistance would be great.

Hello! I have a small tutoring company and I use Airtable to manage my students. In my base, I have a main overview table with all my student’s information and a separate table for each student where I track individual progress. On these individual progress tables, each cell is a checkbox where I can click once a student has completed a given task. Is there a way to add a progress bar (represented by a percentage or fraction) into my overview table that updates as more checkboxes are clicked on the individual progress tables? I want to be able to have a big picture view of each students progress.

Hello, I am new to Airtable. I bought access to a list of data a few months ago. That's how I discovered Airtable, since this list is on Airtable.Today I realized that I see all the customers who have also purchased these lists in the share list. I'm a little surprised that it's not hidden. I could get all the customers to make them an offer myself actually and I don't like having my address visible like that either. I don't find this system very confidential. Is it possible to hide the accesses we give to our different collaborators/customers?ThanksSophie

I have two tables. The first table (Articles) records each have fields that include “Main Point 1”, “Main Point 2” and “Main Point 3”. . … The second table (Article related items) links to the first with a lookup of the various records. I need to create a multi (or single) select field that allows users to choose the field name “Main Point 1” or “Main Point 2” or “Main Point 3” (from table 1) and populate a single cell in the table 2 record with the information from whichever fields were chosen in the dropdown. There can be several records in the second table for each record in the first. Articles (Table 1) Article Related Items (Table 2) Is there a way to do this. I feel like I have come across this solution before, but cannot find it despite
