I have a base I use for inventory tracking that refuses to open on my iPad. It used to work with some difficulty, but now selecting that base force quits the app after a brief load time. Has anyone seen this before/found a fix? I reached out to support a week ago and haven't heard back. I bought the iPad with the intent to take airtable with me, but it's not going as planned.

HI! I created a list of questions, and used the flashcard app to randomly select a question. This part works great. Is it possible to share this with my students? If so, how?

When I’m selecting from a list of options, I type the first few letters and smack the return key. More often than I’d like, I mistype a character or two and end up creating a new option in the list. How can I stop that? Thank you, friends.

Hi There, I’ve done an export from our website and want to import into Airtable. Most of the fields are fine but there is one field that I’d like to import as a Multi Select field but having issues. A sample of the (anonymised) data looks like: Apple~Chicken, Beef & Lamb~Rice~Pasta~Banana Peach~Pear Crisps, Chocolate and Sweets~Smoothie~Pineapple Cheddar & Stilton~Pancakes Pancakes~Apple~Peach Crisps, Chocolate and Sweets~Pasta For the above records I’d like them to appear as: There are around 50 variables for the multi select field and the data itself is around 10,000 records so want to get the import right! And whilst we are looking at the API for the future, in the short term we will have to do multiple imports to keep the data up to date. Advice welcome! Thank you.

Hiiii all, I’m using Airtable for my to lo list (or I’m trying to). I’ve got a number of projects that I’m working on, all with separate labels/kanban stacks. I’ve got what I thought would be an easy problem to solve, but I can’t figure it out. I’ve got a checkbox field for completed tasks and when I click that, I’d like the item to be moved to the ‘done’ stack (and assigned the ‘done’ label). For the moment I’m doing the compromised workaround of using a filtered view, which takes out anything that has a ticked checkbox, but this isn’t ideal. Is there any way of moving a record to a different kanban stack by ticking a checkbox?

Hi everybody,Im facing a pb with airtable for my business regarding Dates.Im selling cars, and each cars sold has a "sell date" which is a calendar column day - values monitored in Table 1In another table, Table 2, I have my monthly and quarterly objectives of sales. My main objective is to handle our performance, so automatically have an idea of a total monthly margin and quarterly generated margin, and where it stands vs Objectives. For this, ideally, I should have a "Month" column in Table 2 with a sum roll up that would automatically update if a new car with its selling date is created in Table 1.Example : I sell a car for 30k€ the 23d of january, i create the record in Table 1, and Table 2 would automatically update with January 2023, Q1 2023 and FY 2023 by +30k€. And hence all my interfaces of performance monitoring 🙂

Hey,Airtable upgraded this community forums, but I do not find any navigation now. Is it a plain, long list of posts?!I really loved the product update posts, but they seem to be gone, or hard to find. Am I missing something?

Hi I've been working a script that is supposed to be finding and merging duplicate records but while it can find and delete the duplicates it is not actually updating them and I don't know why. The console does not give me any error messages. If anyone can help figure that out it would be much appreciated. The code is looking for duplicates in a table named "Script Testing" and is looking for duplicates in the "Name" column. The code is as follows let processedRecords = [];// Get the table objectlet table = base.getTable('Script Testing');// Get all records from the tablelet queryResult = await table.selectRecordsAsync({    view: 'Grid view',    sort: [{field: 'Name', direction: 'asc'}],});let records = queryResult.records;// Loop through all recordsfor (let i&nbsp

Hello, I’ve created a base by importing two separate CSV files as tables. Each table contains a list of email addresses. I’d like to easily be able to find email address that are in both tables. How do I go about that? Thanks! (new to Airtable)

Hello guys!I'm using Airtable for a while in a few Webflow sites I've developed, and I'm looking to create a bit more advanced function now, hopefully you guys can help me.Basically I want that when a user enters in a specific page of my website I want to make a consult to my Airtable and check if a certain item contains a certain value on a certain column. And with that info, make a decision to what to do or not to do.I'm wondering what kind of code I have to use to make this consult with JS on my Webflow site.

Hi all, I am currently both 1) working on a (real world) complex business plan under excel and 2) discovering Airtable. In my discovery of Airtable I was hoping to find a template for business plans (financial projections) but was surprised not to find any. Does it mean Airtable is not an efficient tool to handle business plans? Kind regards, Antoine.

Hi, sorry if this is in the wrong thread. New to airtable and would appreciate help on:- How to view/sort by frequency (i.e. Field A has single-lined text that varies for each record, i.e. GreenMarbles)- I'd like to view/sort it to look something like this:GreenMarbles 14BlueMarbles 12RedMarbles 3- is there a formula/rollup/automation/etc that can count frequency of a word in Column A and show the frequency sum for each word somewhere (another field, table footer etc doesnt matter as long as it' in the same view/page). Preferably free, but not required.- and then how do I sort records by highest to lowest word frequency in Column A? Many thanks!

I’m experiencing an issue when importing a CSV file using the CSV import block. The default behavior is that if one of the matched fields is blank on the CSV but filled-in on Airtable, the importing will remove the filled-in value and replace it with a blank. I’m sure there cases where this behavior makes sense, but in all cases where I’ve used the import feature my CSV data is actually patchier than Airtable. For example, I often have a field that is filled-in in some cases, but not in others. I want to incorporate the CSV data into Airtable, without removing any of the existing Airtable data. Is this possible?

I’m trying to create a table that houses all the information about the software subscriptions that I have. Monthly Cost Renewal Period (Monthly, Yearly, etc) Number of User/Licenses Next Renewal Date Renewal Reminders I’m running into trouble with Next Renewal Date and reminders. I’ve put in the start date of the subscription, which I use in a formula along with the period to calculate the first renewal date. But I want to calculate the next referral date in the future and have it update each time that referral date passes. How can I achieve this? Formula: DATEADD({Start Date},{Period (Months)},‘months’)

I am building an automation to send emails (up to four), to addresses pulled in from a "Find record" command searching a rollup rollup field. I am using rollup because bizarrely lookup fields do not show in the automation builder.The result produces the correct email address list, but with formatting markup code. Any idea what's causing this and how to get just the email address so that the automation can use it?

Hi, struggling with a formula for converting a currency field into minor units.Example: Formula field adding two currency values (£50.45 & £40.20) gives value £90.65. I need a formula that returns this value as 9065 - but I cannot work it out.In Excel it would be a simply TRUNC, but Airtable doesn't seem to have this feature. I'm amazed this question hasn't been asked before, but cannot find it anywhere!

This morning I refreshed a base and I have been surprised that the UI has been changed. The base colors are a bit different and the text for lighter elements has been changed from white to black.I have been using Airtable every day for a couple of years. The new enhancements in colors are making my eyes hurt. Am I the only one with this problem and can it be solved somehow?

My bases and views were working just fine until a few hours ago.  Now they get stuck saving and timeout with "An error has occurred" message.  None of the work done isn't saved.I've messaged enterprise support but haven't received any feedback.

I am trying to add a time only field to my form. It seems that I can only add date and time. Is there a way to just add a time field to my form?

Hello Airtable community I have a formula field which show date as month name only: DATETIME_FORMAT({DELIVERY DATE}, “MMMM”) I wanted to use this field to group each month’s records. Unfortunately, the sort function does not sort chronologically as it should for a date, but rather alphabetically. How can I force a chronological sort? Thanks in advance Sally

Hello. I have found several posts that deal with this issue but it doesn't seem to work for me. Problem: I have a form that I want prefilled, but for columns pulling in data from linked columns, it will only pull in the first data entry even if there are multiple selections ("Assigend to" column with multiple people selected from a linked "Name" field on the "Persons" sheet.Suggested Solution: Was to created a Roll up column that would join the linked values and then get pulled in to the prefill easier. https://community.airtable.com/t5/formulas/prefill-form-with-multiple-linked-records/td-p/26213Here is my URL Formula on button that links to form (Assigned%20to is the linked column in question):Here is the formula in my roll up column "Assigned_to_Rollup". This is the prefill value for Assigned to.Actual behavior: In my form, only the first name gets pulled in, though.In the base, there are 3 names assigned that are joined in the rollup column. The prefill doesn't seem to pu

Why is it that GIFs uploaded from GIPHY work well as previews. But screen recordings when converted into gifs do not work ?

Hey Airtable community managersI'm sure it can't of escaped your attention that since the community relaunch, engagement here has really droppedThis is a fair issue for those of us who rely on support to get things doneCan this be addressed somehow? If not, I fear this place will become less visited, and the value of Airtable will decrease with it, and your investment in this new forum be wasted 😞
