I am relatively new to Airtable and have a specific Search/Filter issue that my colleagues and I have been attempting to solve for a while now. We are a small travel company that provides tours to our clients. Each tour has a unique route that it travels (with stops along that route). The tour itself can run on multiple days following the same route. I have set up our tables in a similar fashion to this screenshot: We need to be able to create a Search that will return which Trip Name is in a City on a specific date or range of dates. For example: we search Djibouti from 10/11/22 - 13/11/22, it would return BC, BB, BD, after which we could view individual records that BC, BB or BD are within. Is this within the realms of possibility with Airt

I am looking for a way to log all the emails I send to my contacts automatically to my Interactions table. I thought I could accomplish that by using the Zapier integration with Email Parser. I set the contacts involved field to equal the recipient and bcced the parser email. However the zap is pulling in the bcc field instead of the to field. I am using outlook email client. Any ideas how to fix this or is there perhaps another way to accomplish the same task?

Hi, I’m trying to think of the best way to replicate our billing schedule payment profiles where we have % of an annual fee to invoice each month. The below show how we capture this in excel: At this stage, I’m just looking for ideas on how to structure this. However, ultimately it would be nice to link opportunities to a payment profile and have each payment date shown in a calendar view. Thanks!

First ever question for the community! I have a table with a single select column that contains the names of different documents and articles used while conducting secondary research. I would like to create a new table that adds each unique document to a single row. Suggestions?

I don’t want to see colors when sorted, or by category or anything. I do not want to see colors provided by AirTable (or any apps/programs). How can I turn off all colors? Or make them all grey? But even that is way too dark and ugly. I am not a programmer, so please don’t say change CSS. I simply cannot do that. WHY must programs use such arbitrary colors? Not even a decent color scheme like analogous or complementary colors or anything. (No offense, but as an artist, the colors really really really upset me. I am getting physically sick looking at them. Please don’t hate me. I love this app, but gosh, the colors are driving me crazy. Oh no no no.) Thanks in advance. Great, amazing, phenomenal app otherwise.

Hi Everyone, I duplicated a base which I’ve done many times, but this time entries from the associated form did not start at 1. Is there anyway to edit the existing entry IDs if the form is still open/accepting submissions? Essentially I want to edit the current entry IDs so that they go from 1 and increase in numerical ,order, then have the future entries follow that order. Thank you.

How many sync connections can I get? With Pro account it says 10. Does it mean any direction? Many to one: B -->A C–>A D–>A E–>A I assume this counts as 4 connections for table A. Now the other way around - One to many: A -->B A–>C A–>D A–>E Would this count as 1 connection? Or will this count as 4 connections from table A. Anybody knows the definition of the limits? The question was asked here … kinda … but no answer other than suggestion to file a support ticket. Here: What are sync limits?

Hey guys, I am trying to build a base that allows my investing firm to manage our pipeline. This is what I have: Sheet which has Companies (under “Name”) One of the cells for each Company is “Existing Investors”–this links to another sheet (Investors) where the "Name"s are investors The investors are categorized into different buckets in another column – one of those categories is “Direct Competitor” Given this information, I would like to have a different sheet where all the companies are companies which have an investor that is a Direct Competitor. Then I’d like to add more columns for additional analysis we would do that we don’t care for in the broader group of companies Make sense? All suggestions are welcome

Hi! I have two tables with data that’s pulled from another site through Zapier. Table 1 shows a list of registrants for an online class (User ID, Name, Email, Course Name fields), and Table 2 shows a list of users who completed a class (User ID, Name, Email, Course Name, Completion Status fields). I’m trying to set up an automation that would add link records in the two tables, so that I can see which people who registered for a course actually completed it (by adding a Lookup field in Table 1 that would pull in the “Completion Status” field from Table 2). Creating a manual link each time someone completes a course is possible but would take up a lot of time. The problem is that each person might register for and complete multiple courses and would have multiple records in each table. So an automation that links records just through the Name or User ID fields wouldn’t necessarily work. Is it possible to set up an automation that would link records only if the User ID a

I categorized this post under “support” because I suspect it can be accomplished without any additional functionality from Airtable but, if not, it may be more appropriate as a “feature request.” Is it possible to have a field that calculates the distance (in miles/kil) between two address fields? I am trying to create a base to log miles driven for business since the IRS requires a milage log to take advantage of the “standard mileage deduction.”

I’ve got a massive mailing list that has the entire address in one “address 1” field. To make matters worse, there is no uniformity to how the “address 2” section is written. There are STE, Suite, suite, and SUITE. In an ideal world I can extract everything after a STE, Suite, suite, or SUITE designation and copy it into another field. Then I would like to delete all of the “address 2” text from the Address 1 field. Is this possible? I’m open to using google sheets or excel if need be. Thanks for your time!

Hi everyone, Currently using the Map extension to map farm locations for a project. Is there a way to include polygons on this map? The polygons would basically be catchment areas. If not directly in/through airtable, could this be done on the google cloud side of things and then reflect in the map extension on airtable? If so, any info on how to do that would be handy. Secondly is there a way to then embed this map into an interface, or a webpage on a separate site? Thanks in advance :slightly_smiling_face:

Hello everyone—when I filter a column in a base, Airtable adds a green background for all cells in the column. Is it possible to disable this coloring? (likewise for grouping and sorting, only with the colors purple and orange) I can appreciate what the designers were trying to accomplish (clues in the user that automatic processing will occur on that column), but the visual disruption it creates in my case is not worth the indication (I would argue it’s better to just color or otherwise format the header row only if that is the aim).

Hi Airtable Community, I’m having issues embedding a view into Notion. When I embed an airtable view into Notion like before (I have a whole website full of embeds that worked in the past and still do) it doesn’t work anymore and now just shows the link: I’ve seen a similar query posted 15 days ago but it just today got closed. Has something changed in the Airtable settings maybe?Any help would be really appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Since Ive got more than 99 records, I would like to access to the URL of the next page to see the complete Raw Data or to set the limit to more than 100 so all records are in the same page, how could I do it? thanks

Hi, I have an Airtable database where I have used the create link feature for sharing the table. So, people can join my database with their email as a Read Only user. But unfortunately, they did not get the option like filters, sorts, groups, etc. option. How can I make filters, sorts, groups, etc. options enable for my Read Only users?

How is everyone limiting their extensions? With only being allowed 10 extensions on the Pro Plan and me not being large enough for an Enterprise plan I don’t know how I am supposed to function as a team. I have loved Airtable up until this extension limit. The Interfaces function does not work near as well as Extensions and I can’t see the data they way I want. In order for me to continue to run my business from Airtable I NEED to have more extensions. Currently I use 57 and had originally planned on continuing to grow that number so I could fully transition from our other CRM to Airtable. I am unable to do that if Airtable is going to limit the use of Airtable.

How can I make a drop-down menu read-only, so that the user cannot by accident create a new pop-down value? I have this problem myself when testing my database. Thanks

Hi there, I’m learning scripting to help my company parse its Airtable rich-text fields to HTML. It’s a big ask and I’m looking for guidance (my boss can’t afford this solution). I installed the Script extension and am watching the official help videos, but the output from either a console.log or output.text doesn’t match the example values from the API help page. I.E. From Output.text(fieldString): (from the preview window in the scripting editor) The SO will: Set up delegated Google Account to support the SO with delegation of ongoing security tasks From API Example page: “The SO will:\n1. Set up delegated Google Account to support the SO with delegation of ongoing security tasks \n” I read

I am building a CRM. I have one table that is all leads. I then want to use zapier to send over interactions from my phone services to another table for interactions points. I have it set up as a linked record look up, but Zapier isn’t liking this. I do want these records to be linked. Thanks!

Hi, We have previously had a “form” from within the base as an “Extension” - however as of last week the message we are now getting is " This website does not allow embedding". Just wondering what has changed? And are we still able to use our created forms (view) as an extension? Cheers, Jenna
