Hello, my dear friends! Has anyone found a friendly way to deal with having multiple tasks on the same day in Gantt view? The invalid dependencies are enough to drive anyone batty :stuck_out_tongue: , but I can live with that, what’s more difficult is sorting. We are trying to use the Gantt view to communicate tasks to team members on the build floor and coordinate hand-offs. However, the Gantt view can be incredibly confusing, becasue everything is all out of order. Is there a way to sort same-day tasks that are dependent on each other, so they are always in successive order? I did this in another base by creating 50 look up fields to look up the previous tasks task and so on, but that is a pain to recreate each time and will eventually break. Thank you!! p.s. same issue on timeline view

Any ideas how to write an IF code for hotel VAT? I have 50 hotel nights showing in column {Nights} multiplied by the {nightly rate} @ £200/night = £10,000 VAT is calculated @ 20% on top of the first 28 nights and then @ 5% from the 29th night onwards. I would love a formula that can calculate this.

My node api call keeps failing. My code is updating the same records several times, Is the Airtable servers slow that it can’t handle multiple calls concurrently ? There are several update calls being made from my API. I dont understand whats going on here ? var result = body.records.map(function (record) { ^ TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading ‘records’) at /fast-csv-js/node_modules/airtable/lib/table.js:116:35 at //node_modules/airtable/lib/run_action.js:70:17 at process.processTicksAndRejections (node:internal/process/task_queues:95:5) Node.js v18.2.0 FetchError: request to https://api.airtable.com/v0/appBtcEHoqEBYVB/IN/r? failed, reason: getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND api.airtable.com at ClientRequest.

Hello, how are you? I wanted to ask you if there is a way to connect a Thinkific survey with the platform. We need to compare the results of an initial and a final survey and do a manual process. Thanks!

Hello everyone! I was wondering is there a way to make it so only creators can create views? From my snooping around I haven’t been able to find a way.

I’m not sure the best way to do this but I would love some direction if anyone can help. I have a base with all my upcoming events and their contacts and organizations putting them on (we have multiple each week). In one table are the Events and all their information. In another Contacts and the last is the Organization putting it on. I would love to keep track of which employees are working each event. What is the best way to have an Employee table and then add employees to each event and see it cleanily? (I have relationships across all 3 already) Would making an employee table, then link it to the events table and using a gallery view be the best way? The employee could potentially be scheduled to multiple upcoming events at the same time. Thank you in advance for any help!

I have a column named Day name which is a single select field containing names of day - Monday, Tuesday, etc. How can I create another column which gives the weekday number of this?

Is it possible to do this? I’d like have an Airtable form with an attachment field, requiring someone to submit a CSV file (with info already filled out). The contents are then imported into an existing table with the contents mapped out accordingly? I’d have them fill out the contents with a form, but sometimes entries could be as much as 20+ … I checked MiniExtensions but didn’t find anything that would work for this use case. Help is appreciated.

Hi! I have a base with start date, end date and completion date. When setting the Gannt I have start date and end date that create “a line”. However, I wanted to see also something on the Gantt that gives me when that activity was completed. I was thinking about setting that as milestone but it is not posible. I know that I can color the category as eg. green to see that is completed but I want to see WHEN. Any suggestion is highly appreciated! Thanks!!

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

In some tables, I have a lot of columns & I move around things a lot, is it possible to update the order of columns in the view by one click or by script ?

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?

Hello, I have uploaded a column with text string within quotes so that Airtable would populate the color combo multi-select options. But the quotations still appear with the text string. Is there anyway to remove or hide the quotations in the color combo multi-select field?

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.

I have two columns that I’ve inserted into Page Designer. They have similar content, but the column widths are different, and I can’t see a control to manage this. Is it possible/what determines how wide each column is? It can’t be random…?!

" Hello Airtable" need to remove initial white-space from the text in the script.

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. If I advertise on sweatcoin, does that mean I have to accept sweatcoin as payment for my products on my website, or can I just accept US dollars. Thank you Jamie

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
