Hi guys We have several columns including ‘multiple select’ options within and wish to combine all these columns into one. Is there a way to do this across the entire table, or do we need to manually duplicate the options and then manually go through each record to combine everything? Many thanks in advance Harvey

Hi, Today I started noticing a change when displaying records in the calendar view. Now the record name shows every bit of information from all the fields that are not hidden when we expand the record to check more details. I wouldn’t want to hide all these fields in the expanded view in order to shorten’ the record name in the calendar view. Is there any way to restore it to the way it was before, to list only the name of the record no matter what fields are shown or hidden? I appreciate your help

It used to be that when you used a URL filter for a shared view, the viewer could remove it using the ‘Filter’ button in the view. Now it appears that they can’t. This is actually great for my current purpose, and I think great in general, but the documentation still says that it can be changed by the recipient. Can someone confirm? In the picture, the view shows all hours entered by employees into a timesheet. The shared view has a URL filter to show one specific employee. When you press the filter button, it says that the view is filtered, but doesn’t offer an option to change it. Again, I think this is actually a better way of doing things, but it doesn’t match the Airtable documentation notes.

Hi, I’d like to create a field that automatically fills in only some of the data from a multiple select field. For example, I have a field that records whether a therapy is long term/short term; and sometimes includes how many weeks long the therapy is. I’d like another field to automatically pull in the long/short term info but to not also include how many weeks long the therapy is. Thanks in advance!

In the preview when I’m making the gallery view, I can open up items linked in a section (e.g. Games made by the developer) and it goes to the corresponding record so you can see details (Like where to buy the game, image of the box art etc) but when I export it to view on the web, it’s not interactive any more. You can just open the gallery view for the developer, but the games just show as a list of text entries, and don’t link to the relevant games. Is this something you can do? I wanted to create an app and website where people can click through to see the details of games people have made… See the image for an example of what I want to happen, and how it shows on the website… How the app works in the preview when setting up the gallery view Website view

Hi, Is there a way to increase the amount of information shown on a card without having to open up each card individually? I have multiple Interventions matched to each issue yet only two interventions appear on each card in the Gallery view. Any suggestions?

I have a table of initials of our employees that are used to tie them to other tables. Someone accidentally created two duplicates of one one of the employees, so I have 3 rows with records linked to “CO” in the name field of each of row. I need to unlink all of the records from the two duplicate “CO” fields and link them to the original “CO” field. Is there a way to do this easily without manually adjusting each linked record for the duplicate “CO” fields?

If the cell is BLANK I want it to show up as blank in the field rather than ERROR For example: IF ({Date of Donation} = BLANK()," “) but this isn’t working and right now I do not have the if statement so it is showing up as error. I also want another IF statement that says : IF {{First Name} & {Last Name} = BLANK(), " {Organization }"} So if the first name and last name are blank enter the organization name instead.

Hello everybody! I was wondering how do I see what a form password is set to. Is there a way to view that?

I have one table filled with dorms. The dorms have other fields like “Building” and “Floor.” I have another table with assignments to clean specific dorms. If I create a cleaning assignment but instead of a specific dorm number, I enter just a building, I want a “Find Records” automation to find all the dorms assigned to that building (that part I know how to do) and then I want the automation to turn around and create a separate cleaning assignment record in Table B for each Dorm record found in Table A. How can I do this? I bangin` my head against the wall trying to figure it out. I think I would prefer a script but I don’t even know how to begin with that.

I work with Los Angeles Times newspaper. Airtable has mistakenly disabled my team’s account. After multiple inquiries to customer support, I am getting NO help. They are saying that the account was accidentally disabled do to an association with a competing media company. It seems airtable has disabled all accounts with the LA Times URL email address due to a competing media company who is inquiring about moving to an Enterprise account. After days of explaining that this is not my company and getting nowhere with support, and this effecting our business, Meawhile, my account is still attempting to be charged, even though we are unable to even log in to the free version of the platform. I am resorting to posting this here, in the hopes that someone might tell me how to speak with a senior customer support person and get this resolved, before we have to take legal action.

Hi guys! I’m using Airtable as a backend for my client app. In this app (that I developped with Webflow for the front), my clients (UX/UI design) can manage their different projects and send tickets for their maintenance. When creating a ticket and when a commenting a ticket, I want to send an email notifications. For that I wanted to use Automations. Despite having a formula that pull up the user email and inject it in the automation, the date isn’t showing in the automation panel. Can you help me sorting this out? Thanks a lot, Olivier

Hi team! I’ve been using this wonderful formula to set a due date for something, but the issue I have is that it defaults to 12:00AM. How would I append this formula to set it to, say, 4AM? Using a formula to return the date of 1st day of last month Formulas Hi all, New to Airtable and by no means a whizz when it comes to formulas. In short, I need to create a formula that will return a date of the 1st day of last month. In other words, today (May 21st), the field should show a date of April 1st 2020. As soon as we hit June, that date should change to May 1st 2020. Any idea how I could do this? Thanks all… Thanks!

I have an external API using, which I’m getting a list of the items. Items object/array is having a field name = title I want to update only records for which title matches AT also have a field name “title” but this is not working as expected. it;s not aligning the correct records. let table = base.getTable('Data'); let view = table.getView("CMS Data"); let query1 = await view.selectRecordsAsync({ sorts: [ {field: "Title"}, ] }); let response = await fetch('https://<api-url>/endpoint?_format=json', { //method: 'GET', }); let query = await response.json(); let peopleTable = base.getTable('Content'); for (var i in query) { recordId = query1.records[i].id; if( query1.records[i].getCellValue("Title") == query[i].title ) { let cms_id = query[i].id; await peopleTable.updateRecordAsync(recordId, { "id": Number(cms_id), }) } }

Hello i am trying to update my woocommerce image using pabbly whenever airtable record is created but i got this error. What did i do wrong? “Error getting remote image http://dl.airtable.com. Error: Forbidden”

Hi, I’m building a membership registry (list of names, addresses, id numbers etc per row) on airtable with either an interface or softr front end for different types of clients to see I predict the number of row entries will easily pass the 100 000 limit in due course, so I’m worried about what to do next when that time comes. Are there any workarounds or solutions to the ‘100,000 row limit’ problem?

Hey all, this question has been asked in the past but no real solution has been provided. I wonder if 12 months later we might have a work around. Every time I copy a concatenate cell, it adds quotations marks around the text " ". Opening each cell individually and then directly copying the text adds such an un-necessary step to my workflow. Is there another column I could apply a formula to that would remove the quotation marks? Thanks

I’ve searched, but maybe am using the wrong terminology! Is there a way, in a PLAIN TEXT or URL field, to @reference another table (in the same base). Use case I have tasks setup, and in each task I direct the user to the applicable table to action. Thanks in advance, Danny

I have a datetime field that includes data that’s precise to the second. I’d like to filter records based on an accounting window that’s somewhat unusual (like 2pm Thursday to Thursday), rather than just Thursday to Wednesday for instance. I saw there’s an old forum question on this, but it’s about 5 years old. Is there any update on this topic? How to filter by time not only date Dates and timezones Hi, I do have a datetime field containing,… well, date and time. I’m building a view now for a export and I need the filter to only show me certain entries prior to a special time (not only date). It looks like the filter does only take dates and not a time - at least I couldn’t find a syntax that works. How do I filter and show only entries that happened before a certain date AND time? Thanks, Frank

Newbie here. I’m trying to import from excel and when i select the quick import option and select excel the pop up box does not appear. Screen flashes “loading” quickly but the pop up does not appear. I get the same issue with CSV, Google sheets, and other import options. I’ve already updated pop up options (using Chrome) to ensure they’re allowed. I can’t see any other topics on this issue. Not a great start to my airtable experience.

I’m trying to find an easy way for other teams (non-technical) to work with Many-to-many relationships with AirTable. A simple example would be: Authors, Recipes, Ingredients A recipe could have multiple authors and multiple ingredients An Ingredient can be used in multiple recipes An author could have authorized multiple recipes I want to create a way (a form would be nice) where a user could insert the necessary that would populate various tables. Some of the data entry fields might have auto-complete on them if they’re looking up an ID field. If I wanted to enter in a recipe when looking up an author I’d like to see a list of what Authors are there, or create a new one. If I’m entering in ingredients I’d like to have a lookup as well because I won’t want to have mistakes in the ingredients table. (I don’t want to see Apple, apple, aple, appple, etc.) How could I go about doing this?

Hi everyone, I am new here. I am now testing airtable before making any decisions. I want to remove this header from my website when I embedded. Can anyone help me to solve this problem? Thanks in advance

Hello! I am hoping for some help on a problem I have. :slightly_smiling_face: I have a Projects table and the following fields: Status: a single select field that is either Confirmed, Completed, Prospective, or Declined/Did not pursue 3 Date fields for recording when the single select field changes to Confirmed, Completed, or Declined/Did not Pursue. Each with historical data I don’t want to lose. I would like the following to happen but don’t know if I can do it in a formula or automation: When the status field is updated to be “Confirmed” → Record the date in Date Confirmed When the status field is updated to be “Completed” → Record the date in Date of Completion When the status field is updated to be “Declined/Did not pursue” → Record the date in Date Declined Any assistance is greatly appreciated! I am still relatively new to AT. :slightly_smiling_face: Thanks
