HI, I have an Airtable in which each row has a datetime. Is there a way to generate individual ical or ics files for each row?

We need to plan and follow up our teams on a weekly basis. Or we do it with start-end dates (but then we need multiple lines for the same person) Or we create a column for every week (see screenshot). Not the best database-design, but it works for now. also for creating totals… it’s quite challenging (W01+W02+…W52) Are there better solutions to tackle this ?

Hi I would like to add advanced graphs to my base using the vega-lite app. However, it looks like the app doens’t support all features from vega-lite. For example, I’m unable to use parameters create grouped bar chart I tried using example code from the vega-lite app, see below. But the result it different. On the website I get a chart with the bar located next to each other. But in the app the bars are placed on top of each other. { "$schema": "https://vega.github.io/schema/vega-lite/v5.json", "width": "container", "height": "container", "data": { "values": [ {"category":"A", "group": "x", "value":0.1}, {"category":"A", "group": "y", "value":0.6}, {"category":"A", "group": "z", "valu

Hi there, I am newbie experimenting a bit. Is it possible with the timeline NOT to show start/or end date in the record when you click on the line itself? this would be helpful for our needs but I do not manage to find a solution

Hi there, As I am pretty new to Airtable and have an understanding of the usual primary / secondary keys concept but having a bit of issues with understanding the way Airtable organizes the linked data. I have contacted Airtable support for help about 5 days ago but have yet to hear from them. In the meantime, I thought I’d try my luck here hoping someone can point to me where I may have gone wrong. Best to do an illustration as follows: I have a transaction type table A with activities and including fields like city and timezone. The latter should be derived from a Timezone Master table B for every city in the world. I have tried various combinations ,for example creating a linked record on city and tried to create a lookup on both city and timezone down to various iterations and instead getting more fields created and never being a

Airtable Community! I have two nearly identical calendars that are displaying markedly different default months - one current, one two months back - on loading a private share link, even though they have the same share setup and content that should have them both defaulting to the current day and month. The calendars are my “Insertion Calendar” and Clippings Calendar". The former shows a matching record each time we have an advertisement placed in a trade periodical, and the latter just shows records where we have an attachment or ‘clipping’ of the ad that ran (so ‘not empty’ for that attachment field) Let’s call the calendars A and B. They are based on the same table. A has matching records appearing on all days from 2/27 through the future, B has a filtered subset of those records and there are matches scattered from 2/27 through today. I believe I have the share settings correct – my desire is to have the current month and day come up on both in perpetuity as

I have a database of sorts for insurance purposes. I have a tab for items, and then a separate tab for receipts. I also have a bunch of other tabs that are not needing to be shared. How can I share just the two tabs? I know I can share the entire base, but I don’t want to do that. Thanks.

I’m trying to import text from a CRM that contains formatting like the below. <'div>note taken during conversation. ‘&nbsp’;</'div> Right now, Airtable CSV import prints the html tags as part of the note. Is there a way to have the rich text feature work on imported data? I realize Airtable may not support all the formatting but trying to get the basics to work. I haven’t found a way and curious if there is a utility or process to facilitate this process. Thanks. Kyle

I have a question regarding the upcoming change to Attachments within bases on Airtable (the annoucement email that just came out a few days ago). I am especially concerned about the expiring URLs and am not sure if this will impact my business. Right now, I use Airtable to create a weekly availability for flowers. I share a link to each week’s table via email and customers have a 7 day window to place orders. My weekly availability includes photos in the Attachment column. These photos are either uploaded directly from my computer or uploaded as screenshots. The change that is coming in November, does this mean after a few hours my customers won’t be able to view the photos in my shared Grid View of my weekly availability? If this means my customers will lose access to my photos a few hours after I send them my weekly email, then how do I go about “fixing” this before it becomes a problem?

I am a Business Development Office for a credit union and the majority of my time is spent in the field. Upon completion of my meeting with a client, i go into the Performance Summary section in AirTable, on my phone, and key in the highlights of our conversation. In a lot, maybe 25%, of instances, this information will not be saved. I am not certain if this is a WiFi issue as I am in some rural areas on occasion. Has anyone experienced this issue? In reading through some posts it’s my understanding there is no “Save” button and entries will be automatically saved upon exit. That has not been the case for me in quite a few instances. Please let me know if this experience has happened and what you did to resolve. Your help is greatly appreciated. James

I have a simple question that I cannot solve. I am looking to convert some existing Excel Forms. I would like to create a dropdown list that has about 10 different options. I do not see a way to create the dropdown list other than having to add them all one by one. Any way to create this dropdown list with a simple paste of all the values. For Example I have a column Fruit - I would like to single select 10 different Fruits Apples, Pears etc ,. I already have my list built and have several different list to build. If I have to do them all one by one that would take hours.

Hi guys I just started using Airtable to import research spreadsheets (name/URL/category/country) to form a database. It’s working well for internal use, but I would like to provide read-only access for members of our community (paid or unpaid) and wondered if there were apps which would present this in a nicer way (they will just need to browse and filter) or I should keep it all simply within a standard Airtable? Thanks Matt

Hi, I’m using a grid view to sort out volunteers who has registered for one or more available slots for an event. Now, I’d like to make a check-in field in order to know who showed up for the time slots they registered for. I’ve been trying to use a grid view grouping the records based on the volunteer’s names or the slots, but it seems like the records with multiple selections (i.e. more than one slot chosen) only shows up on one line in the table, which only makes it possible to use a check-in field for the volunteer itself, not the specific slot. Do you have any idea on how I can solve this? The volunteer system is much like this simple booking system: How to make a simple booking system). I’ve seen this article (htt

I have 2 tables - Families and Individuals, and I want to create a one to many relationship between these. So I’ve marked fields in the 2 tables as linked. I then want to create a webform so that external users can create records which give details of both the family and individuals within the family. But when I share this form, and the user clicks on the + for individuals, it shows all the individuals in all the other families. I don’t want any individuals to show. I want the external user to be able to add multiple records in the individuals sub form. Can this be done? Have I structured the relationship as many to many when it should be one to many? How do I define it as one to many?
