Hi, I’m looking to solve something that is probably very basic. I have a master table that I’d like to bring in add’l data (size) into from Table 2 using the first column as the key. In this example, here is size data from table 2 that will be going over to the Master Table. In the Master Table, I’d like multi select fields with the data from Table 2. Can anyone please help me figure this out? Thanks, Michael

Each year I screen every kinder student and determine whether they’re OK, need speech service, need a recheck in 1st grade, or a recheck in 2nd grade. I’ve created a table for the first year- but I cannot figure out how to automatically move students from the 19-20 table into the 20-21 or 21-22 tables if they have data in the recheck field. If they are OK or receive service and meet mastery, or are disenrolled, (unshown fields) they do not need to transfer to the new tables. I also only need certain fields of data to move from the current table into the other 2 tabels (Student name, DOB, sounds) as the grades/teacher names will all change as they shift from grade to grade. Thank you for any help

Hi, I need help getting the following to work: I have created date and status columns and I need to create a formula that calculates if the application is overdue and by how many days. 1. The first condition is 7 days since the creation date and the status is unassigned. The returned value should be "Overdue by one week". 2. The second condition is between 7-14 days since the creation date and the status is unassigned. The returned value should be "Overdue by more than a week". 3. The third condition is more than 15 days since the creation date and the status is unassigned. The returned value should be "Over due by more than two weeks". Can someone please help?

Hi, Our client owns snaffle.com.au which uses Airtable to publish the products. As there is going to be a change in Airtable attachments according to the article (https://support.airtable.com/hc/en-us/articles/4852449595671), we would like to understand the impact to our clients business processes and be prepared if it affects the business. Our client currently adds product and product images to Airtable and sync to our website. The uploaded images will be displayed on our website after that. Can you please let me know whether there is an impact to this process because of your change in November? Also, please provide any documentation that would be helpful for us to overcome the issue. Regards Venkat

Please tell me what is the cost to join air table once the 13 day trial is over. I have a project I want to advertise, fundraiser for one tree planted…org but will not be ready for another 30-60 days. Please advise. And will need advice on sweatcoin.

We have invited a collaborator. Later we removed from the base. But, again they have joined with the old link. How do we restrict them? And also, the private sharing doesn’t comes with email domain restriction. Hope it is in enterprise wide admin panel.

Hello everyone This is my first post here. We are facing serious limitations with airtable, related to limited access to data editing, f. ex for customers and employees. → its currently not possible to give a customer access to a view to import data, f. ex to place an order. We can’t create 1 base per client since we store related data in the base. → it’s currently not possible to give an employee access to a view to create / edit records, f. ex to create a timesheet. We can’t create 1 base per employee either. Looking around for a solution we found out that this problem has been addressed since 2018, and that miniExtensions products seem to solve those issues. Before we start using their products, I would like to ask if someone knows : does airtable plan to improve those features in short-term, (3-6month)? it seems they released a solution in the past but turned it off. If yes, it doesn’t make sense for us to develop a whole workflow based on miniExtensions I don’t understand why ai

Hi I am creating Airtable form where my first field is mobile no.

How do I go about this in the Forms?

I’m trying to add a table element within a form, is this possible? On the form I’ve created, I want to allow users to add items to a table within the form. For context, the form will be a quotation, the table element needs to allow unlimited rows to be added, each row with several columns (Description, Quantity, Item Price, Total Price, etc). Is this possible to do without creating a link to a separate table elsewhere? Any help appreciated!

Hello all, new to Airtable. Trying to do something that would be pretty simple in sheets or excell. I want to count the number of occurrences a string appears in a column. Say, equipment in inventory, and counting the number of times that gear appears in the table to compare the number used to the number in inventory. In theory, I would love something like the “Count” column below. Where the name is the record, gear and quantity are referenced from another table. Name | Count | Gear | Quantity item1| 2 | apple | 2 item2| 1 | orange| 1 item3| 2 | apple | 2 Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

All, I am attempting to add photos to an attachnment field that already has photos in it. An error appears after about 2 minute2 of loading “error uploading files”. The photos are small, all up maybe 2MB so size is not the issue. The internet is not dropping out. This is really shitting me! Also, same thing happens trying to upload a PDF. What is going on? Tried in Chrome and Edge (windows) - no luck.

Hi there, I have an issue as follow : We have a PostgreSQL database and we created Zaps to create a record in AirTable for each new entry. The issue is that when an item in the database is updated, it creates a new record in AirTable with the same ID. How can I proceed ? Should I use find and replace in Zapier ? I know it’s not an “AirTable problem”, but I think it’s a good place to ask. Thanks for any help.

We currently store user information in Postgres, and our team queries this information to display analytics for UTM links (current in Klipfolio) I’m looking to sync information between our Postgres DB and Airtable, where we can create a UTM link in Airtable and later pull in information (periodically) from Postgres to display user data originating from that link in a table. What’s the best way to do this where we can update the information regularly with minimal manual effort?

I don’t see the ability to sync field tooltip + title. it seems the fields can be modified post sync & don’t reflect changes? Can someone provide insight on behavior for this feature? Thank you in advanced.

We use Airtable for Work in Progress at our golf cart repair shop. We have numbered cones that we physically put on customer carts in for repair. My goal is to limit the number of units that come in for service to 20 units. I want to create a field on the service table that corresponds to the numbered cones. So I would match a service ID to a cone number. Ideally, I would like to use a single select and once I assign “1”, I would like that option to be unavailable for the other records on that table. Right now single select will allow me to keep selecting “1” for all of the records on that table. I also tried setting up the cones a separate table and using a linked field. That didn’t work either. Open to any suggestions! Thank you in advance!

Chart Blocks somehow baffle me. I have a table with a month per year (so 2018 - 04 april) for instance as records and per record I have stuff like FB total likes, newsletter total size, IG total size. I would like to have 1 block that has all 3 together as lines, but I can’t seem to figure out how. Am I doing it wrong or is it not possible with the table I made?

Hello, i create 5K PDFs every month: Digital Products, Invoices and so on. Now i start with airtable and search for a new tool to create PDFs automaticly when an entry is created or updated. We want to store the PDF in dropbox and link from airtable to the dropbox-pdf or other storages. Any idea which cheap and stable tool and plugin we can take? We work also with Make/Integromat in combination, so we are a little bite more felxible in the tools. I like the pricings from pdfshift.io (5k PDFs = 39$), PDFMonkey (6k PDFs = 30$) and api2pdf.com (5k PDFs = 4$) . I dont like documint (5k PDFs = 250$) Are there airtable plugins avalable or other solutions? Best regards Oliver
