Hi There, New to airtable and loving it so far. I am wondering if its possible to add a column to my table that only I can see but when the table is viewed when its embedded on my website no one else can see it. I am trying to eliminate the use to my second spread sheet for details my customers don’t need to see in their order.

How do I find table creation date? I’m looking for a ‘table properties’ section where I can view ‘table creation date’ and ‘table updated date’. Does this exist? Seems simple enough but I can’t find it anywhere.

I have some tables that has many records and I want to have another table that will be called Macro View and its going to include all the counts of each table.

Now what I want to achieve is that in this MacroView to have the sum of these records like example below: People : 50 Animals : 25 Cars : 10

Hello Friends! I am using Airtable for project management. I want to make sure we have not scheduled more than 6-8hrs of tasks per day for team members/resources. Is there a way to create a calendar view that would show the number of hours of work assigned to each team member? I’m guessing I might need a Calendar Table and use linked records, but that would destroy the ability to use the Gantt chart. Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated! Thank you! Paul Warren

I’m using AirTable as an inventory manager instead of Excel, but when I output more products than what’s on my inventory, my inventory marks as negative. What I want is that in the output row, I always have a limit according to my stock, so when I try to output more units than I have, it mark an error or only corrects to my maximum possible. The issue is that the person that register the outputs not always knows the available stock, so if he outputs 100 units of “x” and there are only 50 on stock, he won’t notice that the inventory is in negative.

hi. i wanna do a simple array of objects in airtable like: [{option: “abc123”, name: “abcabcd”, text: “lorem ipsum”}] they do it here for example when you choose attachment field but i wanna do it with a simple ( item=value ) in array

When I drop pictures into the attachment field, those that were taken in portrait orientation automatically turn themselves to landscape. Do you know how to stop this auto-orientation from happening?

I’m attempting to organize a huge number of contacts according to their relationship to our college (Faculty, Staff, Student, etc), and then grouping the contact list by the relationship field. The only problem is that there are contacts who have multiple relationships to the college; a number of people are listed as both faculty and department directors. When the table is grouped by relationship, it by default delegates any records with multiple group tags into a unique “group” including all those relationship tags. What I’m looking for is to have one group for each relationship tag, with multi-group records appearing in both relevant groups. I know there must be a way to do this, but I haven’t been able to figure it out. Help!

I work as a financial planner and I’m absolutely loving the flexibility of Air Table. One thing, however, I’m struggling with is that I want the ability to link a contact record in the contacts table to more than 1 household in the households table and specify what the role of the contact is for that particular household. What’s the best way of setting this up? I’d like the ability to have a Household View so that it lists all of the contact records associated with that household and what their role is in that household. Currently, I have a linked record between HOUSEHOLDS and CONTACTS and I have a “Household Role” field in the contacts record. But I’m realizing this won’t work because it will show the same role for both households which may not be the case. For example, a contact might be “Primary Client” in one household and a “Power of Attorney” for another household. Any ideas/suggestions how best to accomplish something like this? I’ve created a “Household View” in the Contacts ta

Hi, I’m looking for a way to streamline entering the same data in Airtable in a few different places. I enter due dates for an entire project, but we have SMEs that enter some of the same due dates in another tab for when each individual channel will Go-live. Is there a way to link individual task due dates to another tab’s individual tasks?

I have a table with a column titled Status. It contains four statuses New, Answered, Rollover, Completed. I want to capture the result when a Status changes, for example, from New to Answered, from New to Rollover, etc. I also want to report it compactly. Further, I want to capture and count the Status changes in a Pivot Table or similar. I have looked at nested IF/SWITCH as well as Automation timestamp. But being new to Airtable I am unsure which is simplest and most efficient. The Automation solution seems like many columns and not suited to a Pivot Table. Any help appreciated.

Hello dear community. First time asking a question and learning the basics of scripting. One part of my script asks the user for a value like this: let SessionPrice = await input.textAsync (‘Input price per coaching session’); Then I’m trying to insert that value on a currency field with: Let CreateField = await MainTable.createRecordsAsync([{Fields:{“UnitPrice”: SessionPrice}]); And I get the error: j: Can’t create records: invalid cell value for field ‘UnitPrc’. Cell value has invalid format: must be a number I guess its because its a ‘text’ string and I don’t know how to convert it or make it a ‘currency’. In advances I’ll appreciate your help. Thanks…

Hola, tenemos una lista donde varias veces el texto se muestra diferente para dos usuarios diferentes. No sabíamos que esto podía ocurrir.

Hello, I have several of my O365 Exchange Outlook email accounts setup within my Airtable account’s “Connected Accounts” area. These connected email accounts are utilized in various Airtable automations via the “Send Outlook Email” action. Generally, these accounts work in a stable fashion. However, from time to time (with no apparent rhyme or reason that I can grasp), I’ll get an automation failure wherein when I look at the automation run log, the reason for the failure is (paraphrasing) “Your connection has expired, please reconnect your email account”. Of course, I perform the reconnect and everything works fine again. Does anyone know why this happens? I reached out to AT support and they said to reach out to my Microsoft Exchange tenant support team. Microsoft support says reach out to Airtable. So I’m stuck. Obviously, I don’t want my automations randomly stopping because a connected outlook account has expired without my knowledge. At the very least, I’d like to think there is

Hi all, For our organization we want to be able to generate invoices for internal use based on databases in Airtabel. The invoicing of our services consists of two layers in which customer users are placed. The users have a hierarchical relationship with each other. There are main users under which one or more sub-users are placed. Each main user receives their own invoice. There are about 300 main users and about 3500 sub-users. The price agreements are determined at the main user and sub-user level. The price agreements differentiate at main user level and sub-user level. The price agreements relate to four different types of costs: Costs for a fixed number of services at a fixed price that are billed annually Costs for a variable number of services with a fixed price that are billed annually Costs for a variable number of services with a fixed price level that are billed monthly Costs for a variable number of services with a variable price level that are billed monthly. The number

Question: How can I capture how long a record has spent in a Single Select field option throughout its lifecycle? Field Information: Field Type: Single Select Field Name: Status Field Option: “Awaiting Information” Context: Record enters table (Status automatically changes to “In Progress” through automation). User changes Status to “Awaiting Information” when appropriate. When user is finished, they change the Status to “Complete”. Goal: I want to see how long we are waiting on other people for (on average) when fulfilling these requests. I wasn’t sure if this was a formula or automation question. Thanks!

Hi, What note taking app are you using to simply take notes or wiki (Markdown ?) into AirTable ? I have in mind Notable or Evernote where the UI is dedicated to notes but would be stored in AirTable.
