Hey all! I have a simple bar chart I want to show the total count (Y axis) for a given formula field. My view grouping does this very well, but when represented as X-axis in my chart, the chart app adds a parenthesis value to the label unexpectedly, growing the number of X-axis values significantly. Attached is view of values (only 7 unique values for X) and how they’re being messed with in the chart. Chart settings added as well. Any advice is greatly appreciated in advance, thanks!

I am using a kanban view that has columns stacked by a single select field which denotes a freelancer’s name. Every new entry in the table denotes a new assignment, at which point I drag the assignment card to the respective freelancer stack. What I am looking for is a way to get Airtable to spit out a date to track the last time each stack was last given an assignment. I haven’t had any luck with the last modified field type because I cannot simple make that last modified dependent upon one field in every card because a stack could have numerous amounts of cards; but I also can’t make the last modified field dependent on the stack itself because that is technically a static piece of information. My ultimate goal is for this data to show in a table where each freelancer (stack) value spitting out a date of last assignment figure based on the last time an assignment card was dropped in that respective stack, probably in an AT app later down the line once I figure out how to actually con

It appears that the Charts are only showing the Primary field, X axis & Y axis field when you click on a section to drill down on the graph however it used to show the Primary field as well as the first few fields of the associated View. So in this example it’s showing only the SO# (primary field); the PM & Status Field. However I would have seen SO#, Project Name and Site fields. I can’t tell if I changed something or not, has anyone experienced this? View’s Field Order:

When I refresh page, I lost all grouping and filters on a shared table. It there any chance to keep them? Could it be saved on Local Storage?

Hello, Im am trying to find out how to link one record multiple times. I am attempting to make my material price table and flat-rate table work together. Right now I have 2 Tables that don’t work together. The First table is a flat-rate table for jobs which includes material, labor hours to have prices for individual jobs such as replacing one fixture. My other Table is just for material and can be updated as prices fluctuate. Right now with material price changes the flat-rate table has to be updated separate from the material table. So I made a new flat-rate table that links to material so it will update automatically with price changes. My problem is in the quantities, all of my material is based in units of one, on foot of wire, one switch etc. This is how it’s shown on invoices from my supplier so it makes updating prices the most convenient. I can’t link a record multiple times in my flat-rate table to reflect proper quantities of material without changing the original record’s q

When the Start date field and End date field are the same, records DO NOT appear in the Timeline\Day timescale, but DO appear in views bigger than Timeline\Day. Setting the End at ‘Start + 1 minute’ makes it work- but yuk! Is this by design- to be completely invisible in ‘Day’?

Hi! I am creating a database for my books and have included categories like genre, pace, mood, etc. In future, I would like to offer a subscription service for people to get a new book within their preferences. I know I can create a form in Airtable to get their information but is it possible to then have the form automatically generate a list of all the books that match their preferences? Or if not automatically, is there a way to do it quickly/easily without having to manually cross reference their preferences to the categories? I imagine an IF/THEN formula with IF referring to the users’ selection and THEN linking to the database column for that category. But I’m not sure if this will work or if there’s a better way or if I’ll have to hire someone to create something like this for me. Any info would be appreciated!

Hey all! Anyone have experience using conditional logic in the Airtable Forms view? I am using it currently to conditionally show a field based on the input of the type of product category the user filling out the form selects (to help skinny down the list of options for the user). It works brilliantly except one important piece: The user can select from 12 different categories. If the user doesn’t select the category in the field I just conditionally defined nothing shows up from that field for the other 11 categories (which I have as a linked field to another table so that it autopopulates all the options that a user can apply). Short of creating 11 other linked fields – is there a way to “duplicate” or copy the field I defined and just switch the condition to show the different options for one of the other 11 selected categories (i.e., the else conditions?) Thanks for any thoughts. Justin

I need help with inventory management. What I’m trying to accomplish is using my current inventory of a product to create another product that will lower the inventory count of the products it takes to create the the new one. For example let’s say we’re selling fruits I have oranges, apples, bananas and kiwi that I sell all individually however I also want to offer them as a package deal so whenever I create that package the inventory of all the fruits involved lowers as well by the number it takes to make that. More in-depth I want it to take X apples and X kiwi but those numbers may be different from each other. Thank you in advance!

I want to do something like this Subtract more than one item from the same product Ask the community I am running a store that makes fabric bags. Each bag can be made from one or more products from the inventory, for example, two zippers, one strap, one tag, two hooks, etc. I need a formula that for each bag I sell it can subtract more than one item from each product in the inventory, this is kind of a cooking recipe. Please let me know if you need further information. Thank you! but in my case, there are sizes as well. So each fabric bag will be either small, medium or large and the components (zipper, strap etc) will also have the same size options. A small fabric bag will have small zippers and small straps. What kind of database structure should I have and how should those coordinate with each other?

I have a table in my base that I use to track “energy level” which is rated 1-10. Each record also has a timestamp on it. I’d like to create a table that charts energy levels on an average day. I’m thinking I need an average energy level for each one-hour increment. Any suggestions?

Hi all. Perhaps someone can help me. I need help from someone who understands the Telegram API. Below is the code of a script which should work under certain conditions in Automations and send a message to a Telegram user via bot in an open chat with some data from the table. At the moment the script sends an error error_code: 400 description: "Bad Request: message text is empty" The script works fine in the sandbox and sends messages. Not in Airtable. Perhaps the problem is related to Airtable and its specific variables? How do you think it is possible to solve this problem. On Stack Owerflow people occasionally write about this problem, but their solutions have not helped me. I would be grateful for an answer. const token = 'ххх'; let inputConfig = input.config(); let message = `${inputConfig.first_name}, документ готов по заказу №${inputConfig.order}.<br>Вы можете скачать его <a href = "${inputConfig.doc_link}"по ссылке</a>.<br>Ждем Вас снова.<br>Ваш, Rea

Hi Airtable community, Is there any way to: collect files via form attachment copy and upload the files to box.com delete the files in Airtable (Tried using Zapier, but unable to automate deleting the files in Airtable) Or are there any other ways that this can be achieved other than form attachent, as I know it is not ideal… Thanks in advance!

Hi, I’m putting together a base together with a list of therapeutic modalities on my y axis; and a multiple select field called ‘Presenting Issue’ on my x axis where I’m inputting the different presenting issues each therapy targets (e.g. CBT targets Phobias; Depression etc). I’ve a list of about 50 different therapies and would like to be have a view where I can look at the presenting issue and then see which therapy is ‘matched’ to the issue. I assume the best way to do this would be with a Kanban view, however Kanban doesn’t seem to work with a multiple select field. Any suggestions of how I can a Kanban to work, or perhaps a different method to achieve a similar outcome? Thanks in advance!

Is there any capability for a remotely-hosted attachment, ie. images hosted on a different server but which can display as attachment thumbnails in Airtable? Let’s say, I have many images hosted on S3/Cloudinary… If I have a URL field containing the URL of an image, is there any way to make that image display as thumbnail content within Airtable? Or even to function at the same level as an attachment?

I’m trying to list all the conferences our company might be interested in attending for the next year or so. I’d like to be able to estimate the total cost for each meeting.

Hello! I’m trying to set up an automation where a birthday email goes out on the client’s birthday. I found the solution on changing their DOB to current year (thank you community!) however, I don’t want the emails to go out before 9 AM on the day of their birthday. So far I’m adding in the “time” of 9 AM manually in the birthday field but I can’t seem to figure it out from there. Thanks in advance for your help! Troy

I’m using Naver Whale which is a Chromium-based web browser. If I right-click on the table, the menu for the AirTable and the context menu for the web browser overlap. (The web browser menu covers the AirTable menu so that the AirTable menu is invisible.) It does not happen in other browsers such as Chrome, Microsoft Edge, or Firefox. If I want to use the AirTable menu, I should press the Esc key once to remove the web browser menu. Is there a fix for this problem?
