Hi there, Discovering the incredible power of airtable here so there might be a simple solution i’m just not seeing. If that so, sorry in advance. I have already hundreds of views in my first table and would like to avoid doubling the number of views there. In all tickets i’ve read with similar questions, this is almost always the solution but maybe i missed one. So in Table “SKU” that i use for pricing, first column is my sku name and i would like that column to sync with the first column of my other Table “CSV” that i use to import products to my website. I tried linked records but it seems first column will not allow it. Also, from what i understood, link record will not add a line in my Table CSV if i create a new one in my Table SKU. Right now, I just copy-paste in other bases the SKU but if i can Sync that would be awesome as I would save a lot of time by not duplicating information manually. Can i do that? If yes, how? Thanks i

I am working a field trip application to organize field trips for my school. Airtable is definitely game changer for this! I met a problem on my budget tab: For each grade I have a total budget I can select the trip record from another TAB on a column named TRIPS for each grade The TRIPS cell can allow multiple records from the tab TRIP (if my grade 1 are doing 3 trips, we can select the three trips) I pull the total cost from all those trips. I need to show the remaining budget for each grade by a simple operation: budget - (total costs of all trips) But the problem is that the total costs for each trip are all in one cell. What should I do?

Hello, I’m wondering if it’s possible to limit the fields shown in the Kanban view when a card is expanded? One similar post said that it pulls data to create the Kanban view from the grid listed at the top of the list but that doesn’t seem to work for me when the card is expanded. E.g. I want one Kanban view to show different fields when the card is expanded than another Kanban view, or rather, hide certain fields. Thanks in advance!

Hello everyone My company and I have problems regarding a synced field in our database. When this database was created I guess there weren’t any problems with editing, but now when we go to the source of truth, and when we try to edit metrics, the new metrics doesn’t show in the database. We’ve tried to press "update sync configuration, but yet again nothing happens. Does anyone else experience this problem or have solved it before? See the picture for reference.

Hi, my google api account has billing activated and I don’t see any reached limits on the Google side. Still I’m getting API limit errors on the Maps Block when trying to geocode 4000 addresses (after every 200 or so). Any idea why this is happening? Also you would think if there are such limits on the Google API even on paid accounts then Airtable should be able to slow down the requests. This way you always need to remember to refresh the browser again and again. That’s bad UX. Frank

Hi everyone, I’m using the map block, and have about 5,500 lines to map. At first I tried doing this without setting up billing in Google Developer Console, so naturally I hit the daily limit of ~600 or so and work stopped. So I went and finished my account, added good billing, deleted old expired cards (I read somewhere this can be an issue even if not primary), and went ahead and refreshed the map… stops after a few hits. Still won’t proceed. I waited hours (figuring maybe it takes time for Google to realize your billing is set up), and no dice still. I tried creating a new API Key, then using that new key now that billing is complete in Developer Console, no dice. I checked quota settings in Google API, it’s unlimited per day and 5,000 per minute, yet I can’t get more than ~3-5 out of my remaining ~4700 to complete each time I click to retry. I opened a ticket with Google but I haven’t had a response yet to the details I submitted, they

Is it possible to enter a stock symbol such as AAPL and get the price update as is offered in other spreadsheet programs? Thanks

Hey all, I am using Airtable to count the number of weeks each staff member is working as we work on different time strings. However, some of these time strings include holidays (e.g. Christmas and Easter). Is there a formula I could use to count weeks but exclude certain date ranges? For example I work 25/07/2022 - 13/01/2023, however, 26th Dec til 8th Jan is a shutdown period so wouldn’t count as 2 weeks of work time. Thanks so much in advance!

Hi! I’d like to use the Batch Update extension to sort fields for certain things, but so far it seems I can only sort by the main field. In my case, the field I would like to sort links to a table featuring members. I have the name of each member as the main field. However, I want to be able to sort it by the date each member joined – which I have filled out in a separate column. This way, the members are automatically sorted by seniority instead of me having to do that manually every time. Is this possible with this app, or do I have to write my own script (or edit someone else’s!) to accomplish this? I can do it manually if I have to, but I’m talking thousands of records, and sometimes there are well over 30 members. Since the members change over time and aren’t all in the same records, I can’t just copy and paste things, either. Cheers!

Can I transfer my workspace including all bases from my pro plan to another person’s pro plan?

I am creating a base that will track my staff’s required training classes. The classes vary in their renewal times, some only have to be taken once, some are required to be taken yearly, every 3 or 5 years. I created the following tables: Staff - contains Name and other pertinent info. Classes - lists all the required classes and their expiration times in number of years: 1, 3, 5. I created a table for training records and linked the staff and class names to this table, along with training date (date the staff took the class) and if it is the newest record (as there will be multiples.): This is what I would like to happen and I don’t know where to start: I would like to set up an automation that sends out an email when a staff is within 90 , 60, and 30 days of the class expiring. This would entail taking the Training Date from the Training table and the expiration time from the classes table using a formula to add the years to the training date and return the

I am struggling to to create a new table that pulls data column by column from two other existing tables. I how do that? I need to set it up to pull data to Klaviyo.

I have a base with 5 tables. Just in the past day, the tabs showing the different tables, in the iPad and iPhone apps, seem to have been replaced with an icon you click on to bring up the list of tables, so you can select the table from that list. I much prefer just seeing the tabs along the top or bottom of the base and select from there. Did I mess up a setting, or did Airtable change how this works? I don’t see an announcement of such a change, and a browse of tutorial topics for Mobile still refers to visible tabs in the base.

I am a tour bus operator, I started using airtable to keep records of my fleet, drivers, and reservations (three tables), but since then I’ve added sales, expenses, work orders, banks, and other workers. I need to collaborate with three users/departments which currently use forms to intruduce information, but depend on the clunky workaround of creating an automation and another form to select what to edit, and I need to limit their access to some tables. Since sync works only one way, creating another base feeding from my existing one doesn’t solve the problem, but I was wondering if anyone has tried duplicating and dividing the main base and then invert the direction of the sync so the new divided bases are the ones feeding the main integrated one.

Thanks in advance for your help

Thanks in advance for any assistance!

Hi guys, I’m having a slight issue with a synced table. It has added 6 blank records that don’t exist on the source table and that weren’t there after the destination table was created/before the sync. There’s definitely nothing to delete (first thought was pesky blank records that have been created accidentally in the source table), and I have run the sync multiple times in case there was anything that needed refreshing (even though there were never any blank records in the source table). And I can’t delete them on the destination table. I also don’t want to risk breaking the sync, as these have a lot of linked records within the destination base that I can’t risk losing. Any thoughts?

I currently import my calendar date, times, attendees, etc to Airtable. My goal is to try auto calculate my charges based on my time spent with clients. Currently it imports all events with all attendees. However I want to remove my colleagues email addresses from the list so I can allocate the a lookup to the email address to get the timing correct. Is there a way to import address and just exclude certain addresses? Or can I remove the address once imported and just have the client address? Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Everyone, We’ve been using Airtable for awhile now. Unfortunately the company direction is to use SharePoint List or MS List from now on. Is there an easy way to migrate data from Airtable to SharePoint/MS Lists? Tried the Airtable CSV download and import that to SharePoint/MS List. However the Airtable File Attachment column is not included. We dont want to go through each row in SharePoint/MS List to re-upload those Airtable File Attachments. Is there a 3rd party tool or some form of Powershell scripting to migrate Airtable data to SharePoint/MS Lists? Thank you.

I’ve imported some data into Airtable which includes a column with dates, but as a text string. I would like to be able to sort, filter and group this data by date, so I need to figure out a way to turn that text string into a date field type. I created a new column with both the DATETIME_FORMAT and DATETIME_PARSE formulas, which returns the date in the format that matches Airtable’s date field type format (i.e. MM/DD/YYYY), but this is still a text string. I’m trying to figure out how to turn this into a date field type in some way - possibly using an automation? Another important piece of information is that I will periodically be updating the original text string with updated information (copy + pasted from another source in the same original format) - e.g. for the first column, I would be updating the “Last Financing Date (PB)” to a more recent date like 05-Oct-2022. Therefore, I need something that will auto-populate. I’ve seen related posts where the so

Hi all I have a table, which has lots of PDF’s with random filenames. I’d like to batch rename them into Determination.pdf I’ve had a look at other similar posts, but the script keeps saying: ERROR TypeError: Cannot read properties of null (reading ‘length’) at main on line 9 Here’s the modified script by Justin_Barrett which I found here. // Setup const mainTable = base.getTable("Projects | Applications") const mainQuery = await mainTable.selectRecordsAsync() // Build new attachment data let updates = [] for (let record of mainQuery.records) { let attachments = record.getCellValue("Determination") if (attachments.length) { updates.push({ id: record.id, fields: { "Determination": [{ url: at

Hi there, I am creating a database that includes organizations, the services they offer, and their clientele. In the client tracking log, I have a linked field for organizations contacted, followed by a lookup field that lists all of the services provided by those organizations. What I’m hoping to achieve is a multiple select field to mark which of those listed services were accessed by our clients, only allowing options to be selected that correspond with the lookup field values for that specific record. Simply put, for each record, I want to limit the service options available in the drop down menu to only those offered by the linked organizations. Is this possible, and if so, how might I make it happen? Thanks a mil, Jacq

I have related tables with clients and appointments. the appointments are dates that are selected via linked record in the client table. I need to be able to sort by date in the client table, but it is not working. I have tried to create a formula field with the related date being parsed but it still does not sort by that. Please help!

Hi. I have a recurring bug. When I create a public link to an AirTable calender, the calender that appears when we open the link is always empty until the visitor change the scale of view. Then the events appear. I tested the bug with my colleagues.

Since October 4th 11:42pm GMT, all airtable.update calls are failing with Uncaught exception errors. UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: TypeError: Cannot read property ‘records’ of undefined at /workspace/node_modules/airtable/lib/table.js:110:35 at /workspace/node_modules/airtable/lib/run_action.js:70:17 We’re sure this is not a result of any changes to our system. Is this a new bug on Airtable’s side? Thanks.
