Hey! I’m working with a base that has a number of tables broken down by category that archive information from different team members. We’d like to be able to track and share out via a weekly email how many ‘rows’ each team member added across the entire base that week. I’m really at a loss as to how to do this in an efficient way. Any ideas? Thanks!

Is there a limit to the number of options you can have for a multi select field? If so, what is the upper limit?

When I change the filters, and therefore the visible records, I would like there to be a field that numbers the records. The reason is I want to copy and paste only the records I use over to a collaborative view that has sorting turned on, and the rearranging makes it difficult to do last minute updates.

I have a table with all customers to be invoiced. They are to be invoiced monthly on a set date.

Thank you!

Since yesterday Airtable doesn’t seem to work well in Chrome. Selecting, importing and copy of data is a real burden. In other browsers, it works fine. Anybody else with these issues?

Hi All, I am working on the feasability of a rental application for holiday houses with airtable. My first target is to allow a user to fill in a form where he would enter an arrival date and choose from a choicelist all the possible stays available containing this date.

Hello Airtable Community, I have three table: In table A is the column Fruits. In table B there is the column Vegetables. In table C I need to create a column called Fruits and vegetables, and that allows me to select records from Table A, column Fruits, and from Table B, Column Vegetables. That is to say: I need a column C to call me the records of the Fruit column (found in table A) and the Vegetable column (found in table B). I know how to link tables and do look-ups, but I don’t know how to integrate in the same column different records from different columns in different tables. I appreciate your help.

I logged out tried to log in back using my google account, but it looks like it’s a different account, I can’t see any of my workspaces or databases. I don’t remember, but I suppose I create an account using my email not my google account but it’s the same gmail. I guess when I logged in using the google account this account overwrote my old one since they have the same email. I hope someone from airtable can recover my databases and link them to my email. Thank you.

Hi I have a table with a lookup from another table in a grid view in which the result is Brown. When I go to the calendar view to select the field for the color, it’s not in the list of options. Thank you!

Help! I have an automation set up that when a new record is created in one table, to create a list of ‘to-do’ items in another table. Both tasks are related by their matching ID’s. (It’s a monster of an automation, so I had to shrink it to fit! lol) The problem is that when a new record appears in the 1st table it ‘fires’ the automation, right? But most of the time it is ‘firing’ so fast that it misses the ID number in the 2nd table and JUST lists all of the ‘tasks’. What am I doing wrong here??? Thanks, DG

Hello all! I am working on a project where I am inputting data that we collect into one table based around different areas we collect from and how many days it took to collect data. In the other table, I have been manually updating the rate of collection. It is structured by: Column 1 - Date Data Collected (with some repeat dates as multiple collections happen in a single day sometimes), Column 2 - Single Selection Dropdown of the Area Collected From, and then another Column - Data Points Collected. With these columns, is it possible to update data in another table that has a list of all the offices in one column and their estimated rate of collection in another column based on new data input into the first table. I hope this makes sense and thank you for your help!

Hello Airtable community, I´m having a difficulty for finding how many times a specific category (that is in a multi-select field) appears in a table where I´m tracking specific “needs” mentioned in 1:1 interviews. How can I do? Part B of the question (once the other part is solved) One more thing. In the report I may have the same person more than one time and I don´t want to double count the needs, what do you recommend me to do for this?

How do you set it up for everything?

I need an automation that, when there is a new record received in one table, to check a box with the matching ID in another table. THE BREAKDOWN: I have a (unique ID) four-digit “Repair Order” in table1 that, when the balance = $0, sends out a “Cust Survey”. The ‘Survey’ is identified by the same (unique ID) four-digit “Repair Order” number. WORKING PERFECTLY! I then have the “Survey Results” table, or table2. When a new set of ‘Survey Results’ are received in table2, we need to locate and match the “(unique ID) four-digit “Repair Order” number in table1 and check the “Survey Received” checkbox in that table. All the sudden I can’t think of a flow for the automation!?! I do know that I can’t LINK the tables because there is nothing in table2 to link to… right? PLEASE HELP ME!!! DG :heart:

My base is used by salespeople to provide quotes for flights. Sometimes the same trip request is sent to multiple people on my team. I want to eliminate duplicate quotes. I need a way to notify a salesperson when 5 different fields are the same as a different record in the base. Any ideas? I would like to put this in a field so it can easily become an alert

I have deleted a base. Is there any way to restore it? If you have a solution, let me know how to do please. Thank you guys.

Hi, is there a way to see the last changes that were made to a task in Airtable? I’m looking for a way to keep track of changes developers are doing for tasks in the project scope during the day/week, currently, I can only see the last status of a task and the last updated by and last updated time or open tasks one by one but its too detailed. I already configured Slack notifications but it’s hard to track the changes per project/filter by user etc.

Hi, I’m wondering if there is any way to create a form view in such a way that submissions can be made (by anyone with the link), but so that the record wouldn’t go live in another shared view until each entry was approved by a Moderator (i.e. me!)? I can’t think of a simple way to implement this function, but wondering if anyone else has tried this approach and found a work around?

Hi Everyone, First time posting a question here :slightly_smiling_face: I have a grid with different jobs, and I’d like to create a form for people to apply to the jobs posted. I’d like to enable people who submit the form to choose a job title and company from a dropdown. I’d also like the enable them to upload their CV and cover letter, but without it affecting the fields in the grid (I don’t want the grid to include the files). Once submitted I’d like an automated email to be sent to the employers with all the details of the applicant (I’ll have the relevant email for each company in the grid, so I’ll have to pull this data in the automation). How would you approach this? Thanks! Arik

Once you have setup your settings in the Dedupe app, is there a way to just have it apply the same pattern to ALL the rest of the duplicates? If you have hundreds of duplicates, it’s imposible to do this one by one.

Bonjour, il me semble qu’il y a un bug dans l’apps Page Designer. Pour la mise en forme, lorsqu’on sélectionne un champ pour modifier sa taille par exemple, c’est la valeur de la précédente sélection qui reste affichée. Je ne sais pas si je suis très clair, pas facile à expliquer : je sélectionne un champ qui est en “taille 13” pour le modifier en “taille 16” lors de la sélection du champ suivant pour effectuer la même opération, le champ s’affiche en “taille 16” alors qu’il est toujours en “taille 13” et c’est vraiment pénible… déjà que Page Designer n’est pas très ergonomic ça le rend carrément ingérable. Merci pour votre retour.

Hello all, I am trying to track hours on equipment in my base and seem be having an issue getting the result I would like due to my lack of knowledge in formulas. I am going to break this down into sections. Where I get my data, I have integrated my Jotform with my base for inspection sheets on heavy equipment and have it assigned to fill a table called Inspections. everything in this section works perfect and i collect all the data from the forms. What I am trying to do. One of the columns I am trying to track is the Engine hours column which is located in the Inspection table. each piece of equipment in the inspection table can have multiple inspections a day. I am trying to track it in another table called Equipment Log which each piece of equipment is automated to link to its inspection record. I have tried using Rollup to Sum the total Engine Hours the unit has been inspected to have. the problem I am facing is the inspector only has to put the hours that are displayed on the mach

Does anyone have any advice for how to create a filtered view of data I have that only keeps the oldest date of a “group” of records? I have a table where a product iD can show up multiple times but have different data for it depending on another unique field (a batch of the product). But, I need to have a view that only keeps the oldest batch. I have a date field attached to each batch. Any ideas?

I have designed a simple table for the dismissal in our school. On one tab I have “Today dismissal” On the second tab I have 25 inputs : each line has a homeroom name and an image attached to the homeroom. The second tab is also attached to the first one. I have then from tab one created a form where we can select the homeroom with a drop down menu. I have also a view that shows ONLY the new entries based on a simple criteria: the date (today). I am then sharing this view so the security guard a the school gate can see from his iPad set up to refresh every 5 seconds the homerooms ready for dismissal and call the parents in. What i would like to do: If i sleeve homeroom x today, homeroom x is not available anymore from the drop down menu just for today. So i can see in my drop down when all the 25 classes have already been selected. The following day, because it’s day+1, all the 25 homerooms are still available in the drop down menu. How can I do this?
