Sum of dates within a week in a same record

Hello everyone, I spent countless days trying to find a workaround with no joy. My table has multiple records, which all have multiple dates filled in on a single line. I’d like to find a way to count the number of dates just like a rollup would do, but only the dates that are within a week. My major issue is that even though I put filters in my rollup, the output which is a sum doesn’t take each date individually, but rather does the sum of every date of the record as soon as one date is within the scope. Any clue ? Thank you !

I’m sure it can be done but I haven’t found the way yet. Could someone help me please?

Count Button Clicks in Field

Hi all! Wondering if anybody knows how to count the number of times a button has been clicked in Airtable (using scripts, airtable automations, or Zapier / Integromat)! Would be super useful to track which buttons are the most used and provide a count in a separate field that can be used for metrics! @kuovonne @K_V do you have any experience with this? Thanks! -Adrian

Recurring appointment scheduling with different intervals

I am trying to set up an appointment booking system. They will be recurring at different intervals. I would like only the time/dates available to show so that it cannot be double booked. Time slots: 500, 510, 520 Start dates: 3/21, 4/4, 4/18, 5/2 Occurrence: daily, M-F Session durations in weeks: 2, 4, 6 For example, if someone books 5:00 on 3/21 for 6 weeks the next available spot for 5:00 is 5/2. If 5:10 is booked on 3/21 for 4 weeks the next spot for 5:10 is 4/18. If possible I would like to not have any gaps in there as well but am more concerned with the availability and having them show up as recurring events in a calendar. Any help is greatly appreciated!!!

Is there a way to insert a "post to facebook"-option (and other Some) in a table

Hi I use Airtable as an editorial platform for a magazine. I want to share photos and a bit of text from the magazine with influencers in order to give them material to post on social media directly on their own profiles - #employeeadvocacy - #memberadvocacy Is there a way to insert a “post to facebook”-option (and other Some) in a table, so that the users will see this option, when they open the view I share with them? If not they will have to download photo and copy text - and I am afraid that this journey will be too long for anyone to choose it.

Filtering calendars based on each date field

Hello, Is there a way to filter a calendar view for conditions relating to each field separately? For example, we have to chase a customer for an invoice twice. Accordingly, we mark a first chase date and a second chase date and then a corresponding checkbox for each chase to mark that we have completed it. What I am hoping to build is a calendar view that displays all the outstanding chases that we have to do (both the first and the second chases - meaning there are two date fields). I want to filter out all the chases where the corresponding checkbox is ticked (i.e. we have completed it). I couldn’t build the logic perfectly for this when applied to both date fields however. It would be very convenient to filter the first date field based on whether First Chase is unticked and filter the second date field based on whether the Second Chase is unticked. If applied to both date fields simultaneously, the first chase still appears on the calendar as the second chase is still remaining to

How to set Priority for linked records

I am using Airtable to create a data schema for a project. My schema defines a single data field that may have multiple sources contributing to it. I want to visually show the priority of the sources for each field. At this point I have the sources in a separate table and being linked to the single data field they contribute too. How could I best show the higherarchy of sources per data field?

Password Encryption

Is there a way to password protect a base so that when it’s opened (even by me) it requests a password before showing any information? I’m attempting to make a base to store ALL passwords. Personal and Business. However I do not want anyone who may get access to my computer to be able to pull up the base without a password. Thanks
