I’m very formula challenged… I run a halfway house and I’m working on automation of the rule violations sheets. For each violation, there is the first consequence with a date duration and a second consequence with a date duration. Example: Late for Cewfew: 1st offense no passes for 14 days. 2nd offense no passes for 30 days. I have the duration formulas figured out, but I need to link them to another table only showing the current duration end date. I’m wanting to create a Current Offense End Date. Basically, If the 1st consequence end date is empty then I need it to enter the 2nd consequence end date. I hope that makes sense. I just have not been able to figure it out. Thanks in advance for any help Kathy

Hi, I have a base for all of our book projects. Each book get a tab in which I work with the Gantt view. Can I do a sync of all the tabs into a new tab with the same Projects base to see all the Gantt view at once or should I record link somehow? Thank you.

There was some recent update where comments from the notification bar open in the interface they were created in… when I get to that interface, there may not be a comment block for the table the comment is in, and the record may not even be in the table anymore due to filters. It is quite a big effort to read all the comments that have been directed to me, involving remembering the record name the notification cited, finding and opening that record if it is still on the interface, or tracking it down in the base if not.

Hi all. I am attempting to embed a grid into a WordPress website and it seems that there is a width limitation. Is there a way to increase the dimensions of the grid in Wordpress? Thanks in advance.

Hi! This isn’t much of a support ask as it is a request for certain features, so please bear with me. I am sure you have heard payment integration for forms a gazillion times, but that and pagination for forms would be great. I, unfortunately, must create some long questionnaires and it would be nice to have pages within the form instead of the long scroll. Thanks for all you do!

In the documentation it is provided that we can do a conditional roll up. But i can’t see the option in the tool. Attaching the image for reference.

Not sure these types of posts are cool here, I initially asked this same question over in Reddit but didn’t get much help, so I’ll try to keep this as brief as possible. Anyways, I started at a company in March assuming it would just be a part-time role as one of their drivers, however I used my Airtable skills to build a really basic driver app (AT + Softr) which helped me land a unnamed and unstructured promotion. All that was proposed was moving to the new marketing department and helping to establish structure. I now spend most of my time rebuilding internal workflows with Airtable while also creating a company knowledge base (in Coda). Recently I was asked to come up with a name for my title, but I’m kind of stumped. I don’t have a formal education beyond an Associates and I don’t have any professional credentials (eg. project manager, engineer, etc). Are there any titles you’ve come across that help clarify / showcase the value we bring with tools like AT

I can not figure out how to set the ‘Today’ date to my local time, so in my Gantt view, the blue line is always a day behind.

Hello, I have an issue with airtable calendar views: For each records of the table I have 2 event (IN and OUT), and for each event a collaborator (can be the same one but most of the time collaborators are differents from IN to OUT events) I want to have calendar view for each collaborators with only the event there are responsible for. But when I filter, it’s not working well because it’s also showing the event where the collaborator was for the IN but not concern for the OUT (not easy to explain) For exemple: I have a record: Ms Bond From (IN) 23/08/22 to (OUT) 25/08/22 For the IN event: collaborator is Tony For the OUT event: Collaborator is Elon I created a calendar view for Tony and an other calendar view for Elon In the tony view i filtered “Collaborator IN = Tony, or Collaborator OUT = Tony” In this view i see the IN event: normal Tony is in charge, but i also see the OUT event, because even if Tony is n

Hi our homepage views have suddenly gone blank displaying no data - if we apply a filter the relevant data appears but without a filter nothing is showing. Personal view are not effected.

Im looking to create an extension that shows dropdowns for various fields in my base, but I don’t know how to make the dropdowns appear within the extension.

Is it possible to add day before date?

Hello, In my base I have 2 tables: Users and Emails. They are linked together because one user can have multiple emails. Users Id|First name|Last name 1|John|Doe 2|Sam|Harison Emails Id|Address|User id 1|john.doe@gmail.com|1 2|sam.harison@gmail.com|2 3|sam.harison@yahoo.com|2 I want to create a form in which user has to provide first name, last name and one or more emails. How can I achieve this in Airtable? Of course after submission data should be stored in tables with correct relationships.

A general question to the Airtable community, what is expected when email notification are switched on and a mention is done in the comment section on a record. So far I have been unable to make this work between collaborators - and not sure what I am doing wrong. I don’t see anyone else with this issue so believe it must be me. Is the email instantaneous - or with delay? Many thanks.

Good Morning! I have a project field that is synced externally and uses a formula. I wanted to use that same project field (with the formula), to link to a tasks field. For some reason, I cannot link the Project Field to my Tasks field. The Projects field does have automation as well. Any tips?

Hello everyone. I have a base with several tables and collaborators. I need to restrict viewing a complete table or several columns within a table from some collaborators, but at the same time that table or columns should be visible to other collaborators. Can anyone help me to find a solution? Thanks in advance.

Hi Everyone, I have a start date field and a duration type field and I’m trying to create an end date with a formula DATEADD({ :gear: Appointment Start Date},{Duration},‘minutes’) This doesn’t seem to do anything i.e. the end date is the same as the start. Any ideas? Cheers

This may have been covered, but I cannot find it. I have a field that has several emails in it. It is a lookup field I need to extract the first email in the list. Can someone help me with the formula?

Wondering if/how to make this possible… I want to have have a single table embedded into a website/app that displays records. Want to filter what records can be seen based on the logged in user of said app. Thanks in advance.

Hello, I have an “id” column in my table. How can I generate sequential “id” after submitting the form? |id|First name|Last name| |1|John|Doe| |2|Mary|Jane| |3|Raplh|Smith| I.e. after creating a new record “Tony Jones”, id=4 should be added automatically.

Hello, I need to migrate all the data (+ automations and formulas!) to another Airtable. Is there any way to do this? I found Free Airtable to PostgreSQL migration tool but it offers only migration of the data, not the formulas and automations.

Hello, I have a table to input hours for tasks. These task are linked to a country and a profile. Simple, in generic. People input 40 hours a week, to profile 1 and country 2. But I have a problem with a department. This department, already has more granularity in tasks, and they input 40 horas for a specific task wich is alreadly linked to profile and country. I can add to the table two columns with profile and country lookup , when they input this task, but i need to copy automatically this field to the original linked field country and profile in another columns. I read a lot in the forum, but any solution is accomodating to my problem. Maybe some script? many thanks for your support

HI Everyone, I have a couple of bases that are synced, I want to move them to a new account.; This obviously breaks the sync between them. What is the best way to sync them back together after the move? It seems its not possible to reconfigure the table to sync with the new base. Is there a better way than creating new tables and then having to modify of the links and lookups?
