How to automatically and regularly upload Excel data to airtable

I am designing on system where I need to fetch data from the tables from Airtable. Can someone let me know how the reads are charged in Airtable ? Can I go with a solution in which if the user opens the page, the data is loaded from Airtable Or Should I go with Daily Sync to a local database? Please advice

I’m certain this is a lack of understanding of JS or synchronous/asynchronous operations on my part, but: if I want to call Airtable.base.create through the Node.js module and actually get the created records (or error) returned to be used elsewhere, how would I do that? Currently, my code looks like this: export async function createRecord(record) { base('example').create({ "field": record["field"] }, function(err, record) { if (err) { console.error(err); return; } console.log(record.getId()); }); } I can get the information logged to console just fine, but I’m not clear on how to properly return it or assign it to a variable and use it elsewhere.

Hi all! I have trouble wrapping my head around a database I’m building for a client. The concerned DB is for equipment rentals and my problem is making clear what’s available at a given date for rental. In the Rental table, I have a field for the outing date and another for the return. When a new rental is made, we would need to enter specific in/out dates and see the equipment available for those dates. Any idea on this?

Hey, I am a project manager for an event venue. I use airtable to create day sheets for events that function as to-do lists for the day. My team regularly refers to the kanban view. What I am having issues with is I group the events in Kanban by date. Every stack in kanban view is a day. What I am having issues with is when you use filters to filter out events that have already happened, the stack for the day still shows up as an empty stack. This means either uncategorizing old past events or deleting them. Deleting them is not an option as we often have repeat clients, and uncategorizing them messes up the workflow because then uncategorized has a bunch of stuff in it and cant be a landing spot for new entries. Any thoughts?

I’m trying to create a formula to do “high to low” and “low to high” features on our website. It is not working right. I wanted to show just the cheapest if there are multiple rooms available in a property but it does not work right. Here’s the formula that I did. IF(IF(IF(IF(IF(IF(IF(FIND(“$895”, {Price (from Room Details)}), “$995”, “$895”), FIND(“$995”, {Price (from Room Details)}), “$995”), FIND(“$1,095”, {Price (from Room Details)}), “$1,095”), FIND(“$1,195”, {Price (from Room Details)}), “$1,195”), FIND(“$1,295”, {Price (from Room Details)}), “$1,295”), FIND(“$1,395”, {Price (from Room Details)}), “$1,395”), FIND(“$1,495”, {Price (from Room Details)}), “$1,495”)

I have read multiple posts on the subject, but none seem to quite answer my newbie questions. I have 2 tables: Animal and Priority. Animal table contains a list of animals and a link to a list of priorities in Priority table. The animals are grouped by Priority, which automatically sorts by Priority Name in alphabetical order. However, what I want is to sort by Priority Order. I’ve tried sorting by Lookup Fields, but that does not change the ordering. Basically, I want to see a list of animals ordered from Must Have, Nice to Have, Undecided, and Definitely Not. Animal Table Priority Table My workaround is to use a formula in the first column in Priority table to combine Order and Name like this:

I’m wracking my brain trying to figure out how I can make this work. I have an Items table. I have a Locations table. I have a Location Records table that joins the two. An Item has many Location Records, and belongs to a Location through its most recent Location Record, and it has a history of all its past Locations through the sequence of all its Location Records. In the Items table, I can Rollup Location Records–>{Date}–>MAX(values) to pull the {Date} out of the most recent Location Record. But how can I pull the {Location} out of the most recent Location Record, so that I can display an Item’s {Current Location}? I can Rol

Show synced records and new records all on one timeline view Hello everyone I greatly appreciate any help in advance, I just need to be pointed in the right direction The Idea: Create a top level company holiday planner, including dates for holiday, sick leave and public holiday. Sync planner table with a lower level base, lets call it project planner. This will include projects, business trips etc. The end goal is to be able to view synced employee holiday planner and the local projects all on one timeline. With holiday data only changeable from its own base and all project data changeable The Issue: When using the sync table function, no additional records can be added to the table in the project base. I created a second table just for the projects records but also cannot find way to show both tables on one timeline. Any idea how best to do this? I was wondering if its possible for an automation to add, modify and delete a record to the the pro

Wanted to share a table and give them the rights to add comments to the table (in pre-defined columns for each individual). Right now I can only share “read-only” rights as I tried to share an editable table and was suddenly charged for 2 additional licenses. Could do this process via Google Sheets (and share the sheet with family members), but I like the format for Airtable. Any thoughts??

how do I extract the numbers before the first delimiter"|"?

My department tracks work tasks in Airtable. Occasionally someone edits something by mistake. The editor account can prevent changes the fields. Is there some one way to prevent a user from editing another user’s record. Example: Chris can edit any record he creates but cannot edit or delete records created by other users.

Here’s a short Loom video that explains my question with examples:

We host events that volunteers help to run. We have forms to let volunteers 1) create events and 2) choose events to help with on specific, future date-times (i.e. the only event times are Weds and Thurs 7-8pm). Form 1) needs an event date picker with pre-selected datetimes (i.e. Weds and Thurs 7-8pm for the next three months). Form 2) needs to only show events created with 1) that are in the future i.e. we don’t show past events. So we currently have one table (A) with a column of dates (manually created, though automatically would be great - different problem). Then a linked record field in the main events table (B) allows people to select one of the dates from that column. The problem is that, in Form), I’m not sure how to filter events with a future date because the linked record field that links dates from the dates table doesn’t treat linked items as dates.

I’ve used @ScottWorld’s excellent suggestions from this post to append values to a multi-link field (whether it already has values or not, so slick). Now I’m trying to do the same for a collaborator field, and I’m running into trouble. You can set a collaborator field by providing the name or email address of the Airtable user, but it seems like appending to an array of collaborators requires you to use their internal IDs, which I’m not sure how to look up. I’ve tried a variety of array merge/append tricks, but nothing seems to work. Anyone know how to either append to a collaborator field using email address or name, or lookup the internal Airtable user id from an email address to use for the append operation?

Good day, how can I request an invoice for a company? It must be the company address on the invoice.

We have our jotform integrated with Airtable, so when someone completed the form, it will automatically create a record in airtable. All fields are matched and are being updated, except for “attachment” field. It is not uploading the attachment on the airtable record (no pdf, word, image file) When you click on the uploaded attachment, it only shows jotform blank page

hi testing subission

Hi, I have a Zap importing values separated by a comma - I cannot change this. So my field looks something like this: 55.00,55.00 I am attempting to create a sum from these values, but the ending value is 0.00 I do not want to create a rollup field on another sheet only to import the values back into the original sheet - that’s double redundant and another thing to keep track of. Is there a formula that can combine those comma-separated values into a sum? Thank you
