For a table with organizations I have a field {funded by} which lists all the organizations the organization is funded by. These organizations come in three types listed in {organization type}: government agencies, businesses or nonprofits. Now on the basis of the field ‘funded by’ and the fact that each of the linked records in that field have a feature that specifies whether they are government agencies, businesses or nonprofits, I want to use formulas to create three separate fields, ‘funded by government agencies’, ‘funded by businesses’ and ‘funded by nonprofits’. So I’d like to use a kind of formula like “for each item in {funded by}, if its value in {organization type} is ‘business’ then add to this field {funded by these businesses}.” How can I best do this? Am I missing something obvious?

Hi All. I found the following script code for sending a webhook from Airtable to Make but the input.config() in the first line demands an argument. anyone knows why? Jesper let inputConfig = input.config(); let recordID = inputConfig.inputRecord; console.log(recordID); let url=‘https://hook.eu1.make.com/7emn6wadgl4bn494kgibfvtop3lf4h6s’ console.log(url); let request= url.concat(‘?recordID=’,recordID) console.log(request); await fetch(request);

In one cell, I can select students located in another tab. If I select 1 student, I look up also the person ID which is a number : 123456. If I select 3 students, the lookup function will show 3 person ID as below: 123456, 432567, 5676328 I need to show those values without the comma. I use a formula: SUBSTITUTE({Person ID},‘,’,’ ') but it generates an error, I believe because the students ID are not a text string but an array When converting the array in string, using the formula SUBSTITUTE({Person ID}& “”,‘,’,’ ') I get this result: 1234564325675676328 How can I get 123456 432567 5676328 ?

I am curious to know what kind of impact the upcoming November 2022 update regarding attachments will have on my AirTable functionality. We have multiple columns which include URL links to Dropbox Folders where we store a specific asset depending on the link selected. I am having a hard time understanding if the future update will, or will not, have an effect on our AirTable continuing to function. Unfortunately, we will need to abandon AirTable if it does. Any insight is appreciated.

Hey all :wave: , I don’t find a solution for my stock tracking system. I have a database with all the products: Then I have a database with my orders to the suppliers linked to my product table. Each order has multiple products. Until this step is perfect. :ok_hand:t2: But I need to add quantity to each product :confused: 2 Items of X 3 Items of Y 1 Item of Z Do you know how I can add that? If I insert a general #number field is a quantity for the order and not for each product item. Thanks.

i have a list that i’d like to embed on my website, though do not want anyone to be able to copy or print it. i have turned off the ability to copy from the share settings and turned off the view controls. however the “view larger version” on the bottom right brings back the controls and the ability to print. alternate question: can i turn off the “view larger version” feature? i also do not like the fact that it exposes the direct URL of the list/ view. rant: it doesn’t make any sense why you’d have the setting to turn something off and then provide a way to users to override it. also, is there a way to turn off the airtable branding in the embedded view? i am a paid subscriber and believe i should have the option to truly embed something without having to expose the underlying tool. i see a thread asking about disabling print view from a couple of years ago, didn’t see it being addressed (Disable Print View). tia, sunny

Hello, I am trying to create a prefilled form that automatically populates the current renewal date for a piece of software. I am running into an issue where the date that shows up in the form is exactly one day behind from what it should be and I can’t figure out why. As you can see in the above screenshots, the link generates with the date “2023-01-14” but shows up in the form as 2023-01-13. Any clues as to why this is occurring will be much appreciated! Thanks Doug

Hello, Airtable community. I would like to know how I can automatically add the records in Table A to a single record in Table B. I already connected the tables and what I want is that every time a new record is added in Table A, the records are automatically added to the connected field in Table B. I tried Automations, but I couldn’t figure out the process. I appreciate any guidance in advance.

How to remove the calendar-view’s button tooltip?

Is there a way to Filter records within the Grid view based on a search within the table itself? In the same way that ‘Find Mode’ allows this in FileMaker with Command-F. Thank you!

I am trying to create a table that can represent an arbitrary depth hierarchy of objects, with a field that in each entry that rolls up corresponding values from its children. Here is a simplified version of what I want: Each entry has a “type” field that is a selection of “leaf” or “parent”, a numeric “enteredSize” field (used only for leaf nodes), a “children” field with links to other entries, a rollupSize field that is the sum of the size fields of the linked children, and a “size” field. I want the size to be a formula: IF(type=leaf, enteredSize, rollupSize). This is disallowed because of a circular reference. I understand that I could create a circular reference with this, but my data is a strictly a tree. Is there any way to support this? Basically, I want to check circularity between records, not between fields.

Hi, Is there any formula that can be used to find the best matching block from the table? please help! for example, I have an input that’s collective of words as a product name: YELLOW PRETTY WOMEN’S BAG in a meanwhile, my inventory data would have: PRETTY MEN’S SHIRT YELLO WORLD PRETTY MEN’S HAIR RED SALSA PRETTY WOMEN’S BAG …etc and output to be : RED SALSA PRETTY WOMEN’S BAG. because it has the largest number of words matching. *input string isn’t always 4 words combined. PRETTY MEN’S SHIRT (1word match) YELLO WORLD PRETTY MEN’S HAIR (2words match) RED SALSA PRETTY WOMEN’S BAG (3words match) Hope my explanation was good enough to understand. Thank you in advanced.

I need to open a record in a miniExtensions form prefilling values from Airtable fields - including a multi-select field. I’ve used an extension to build a formula. The resulting URL works fine with an Airtable form, which populates all fields, including the multi select. The miniExtension form won’t prefil the multi-select field using the same formula. I can see the cause. The Airtable formula retrieves an array of values for the mini select field. However, it inserts a space after each comma. Can anyone suggest how to adjust the formula to take out the spaces? “Story form” & “prefill_Idea%20Status=” & ENCODE_URL_COMPONENT({Idea Status} & “”) & “&” & “prefill_Story%20title=” & ENCODE_URL_COMPONENT({Story title} & “”) & “&” & “prefill_Magazine%20section=” & ENCODE_URL_COMPONENT({Magazine section} & “”) & “&” & “prefill_Audiences2=” & ENCODE_URL_COMPONENT({Audiences2} & “”) & “&” & “prefill_Magazine%

Hello again, cannot move over this problem :frowning: the situation: Airtable compare - Airtable Explore the "compare" base on Airtable. invoice comes, somebody writes to temp invoice 1 row = 1 product, can be many from 1 invoice then smbdy fills same way the temp shipping note somebody scans EANs (this info is not in this example table) in warehouse when the goods come = we know what product and what qty is in reality what i want from airtable: compare all items on same shipping note (in temporary) with the coresponding invoice, with the reality we know the invoice nr and the shipping note that means nr of products and qty in this step then i wish to compare prices from invoice with the one in product if there is any problem give me info where it is so i can resolve it. seems to be easy, but its not for me (at least this time) - can use automations, make new colums…(i am owner of the db). Thanks for answer or kick in right way :

Hello I wonder if you can help I am using a react.js form to collect customer data and would like to connect this information to Airetable. this is what I have so far: file 1 - data file import { useState } from “react”; import axios from “axios”; export default function useData() { const [data, setData] = useState(null); const getData = async () => { return axios.get(“/”).then((res) => { console.log(“res.data.records:”, res.data.records); setData(res.data.records); }); }; return { getData, data, }; } file 2 index.js import React from ‘react’; import ReactDOM from ‘react-dom/client’; import ‘./index.css’; import App from ‘./App’; import axios from “axios”; const BASE_ID = ‘xxx’; const API_KEY = ‘xxx’ axios.defaults.baseURL = https://api.airtable.com/v0/${BASE_ID}/Contact__form/; axios.defaults.headers.post[‘Content-Type’] = ‘application/json’; axios.defaults.headers[‘Authorization’] = Bearer ${API_KEY}; const root = ReactDOM.createRoot(document.getElementById(‘root’)); root.re

Hello- Looking for a formula to where if I have multiple fields with single select options to act as an IF statement that overrides the last stage that is selected: So when any of these are selected based on the rules set in the formula, only that stage will show regardless if project status is approved for graphic design and the formula displays DESIGN STAGE, once Graphic Design Status is not blank, it will show the status for that stage - make sense? IF({PROJECT STATUS}=BLANK(),‘’, IF({PROJECT STATUS} = ‘APPROVED FOR GRAPHIC DESIGN’,‘DESIGN STAGE’, IF({GRAPHIC DESIGN STATUS}=BLANK(),‘’, IF({GRAPHIC DESIGN STATUS} = ‘READY FOR REVIEW’,‘DESIGN STAGE’, IF({GRAPHIC DESIGN STATUS} = ‘REQUIRTES REVISION’,‘DESIGN STAGE’, IF({GRAPHIC DESIGN STATUS} = ‘ON HOLD’,‘DESIGN STAGE’, IF({GRAPHIC DESIGN STATUS} = ‘APPROVED FOR SUBMITTAL’,‘SUBMITTAL STAGE’, IF({SUBMITTAL STATUS}=BLANK(),‘’, IF({SUBMITTAL STATUS} = ‘IN SUBMITTAL’,‘SUBMITTAL STAGE’, IF({SUBMITTAL STATUS} = ‘READY FOR REVIEW’,‘SUBMITTAL

Hi there, I’m new to the Airtable. I’m wondering if it’s possible to store JSON data in a cell ? For example, if I have a User table, and inside this User table, I want to store an array of objects for every user about the videos the user has watched. Is it possible ? :thinking: :thinking: e.g. Can I store the data ( similar to the code below) in a cell ? { data:[ {videoId: 1, videoTitle:"some thing", videoDescription:"some text"}, {videoId: 2, videoTitle:"some title", videoDescription:"some text"}, {videoId: 3, videoTitle:"some other title", videoDescription:"some text"}, {videoId: 4, videoTitle:"fourth title", videoDescription:"some text"} ] } What’s the easiest way to create this relationship ? Do I have to create another Video table? :thinking: Any suggestions ? THANK YOU !! Scenario: e.g. User Amy watched video#1, video#2, video#3, and video#5 e.g. User Bob watched video#1, video#4, video#5 ( I have a total of 100 videos )

To simplify the description… I have 1 table that has a field of a Linked record. I need a dead simple way for my teammates to know to Create a New Record. Idea: Create a button with a good label, that opens the new blank record in that Linked Record field. I haven’t found in any examples a way to open a blank/new record on a different table, that is linked to the record where you initiate the process. Please help. Thanks in advance. Dave

Hi- We’re trying to get Airtable to sort a list of records by the most recent linked record. Basically, we want Airtable to ‘understand’ dates in a linked record. Here’s the basic flow: One table we have is the ‘Sponsor’ (advertiser) who has purchased a ‘Sponsorship’ (advertisement) The ‘Sponsor’ is linked to every individual ‘Sponsorship’ that it has bought Each individual Sponsorship is its own record, with a Date field as the primary field in the linked Table What we want is for Airtable to know what date a Sponsor’s most recent Sponsorship ran (or, what is the latest date of a Sponsorship linked to a particular Sponsor) With this, we’d be able to allow our users to sort by Sponsors who’ve run an ad recently (say, in the last 30 days) The problem is that even though each Sponsor has all its Sponsorships linked to it, I don’t see any way to get Airtable to use the linked Sponsorship records to sort Sponsors. We’ve tried a Lookup field of the date of the Sponsorship, but Airtable tr

Hi Airtable Community, With sample scripts that I found here, I was able to create a script to duplicate a record, and I’ve set up the script to run on a button. [So, thank you for all those how-to scripting posts!!] However, I was hoping to be able to limit access to the button, so that only the right people could click and run the script. But, on the button field the option to set “Edit field permissions” is grayed out. I know I can hide the button from certain views, but my users do know how to copy a locked view and hide/show whatever fields they want in their personal or collaborative view. Is there another way to prohibit who can click a button, since field-level permissions are not an option? Thanks for any help provided.

Me again, still working on same database as Going mad trying to avoid duplicates with ARRAYUNIQUE. I’m trying to create a field that shows a date-ordered list of unique dates on which the items on the table are listed in a linked table. The rollup (or a lookup) works fine, and ARRAYUNIQUE() is doing its thing, however the result is a slightly strange, non-sequential order which I think might be related to the creation time of each record. Has anyone got any bright ideas of a workaround that might let me sort this into a sensible order?
