Hi - First time posting and not a beginner but no where near a pro at airtable but I am trying to include the images of my rental products in the list that populates on my form. I have a field where visitors can request individual or multiple pieces of equipment and it would be great if they could see the product they’d be renting. I’m not sure why it shows images on the backend side of Airtable but then when you go to the front facing link, it only shows the text. I have included screenshots of what I’m talking about but can anyone shed any light on if including images to my rental products is possible?

I have a list of people and their dates of birth. I’d like to know if that birthday falls in the current month. Right now, I have a column, the formula of which is IS_SAME({55th Birthday},TODAY()), which indicates if that birthday is today, but I’d like to see everyone in the list who turns 55 next month. So, in September, the October 55th birthdays are indicated; in October, the November 55th birthdays will be flagged; and so forth. Then, I’d like to have a column which shows the first business day of that month so that, using Zapier, I can pass that date on to my CRM. So, in the view I’m going to create, I’d like to see, in October, everyone who turns 55 in November, and I’ll want a column with the first business day in November.

Hi all, we’re trying to create a bar chart using Vega-Lite app. This is where we at right now: { “$schema”: “https://vega.github.io/schema/vega-lite/v4.json”, “title”: “Test Corporate”, “width”: “container”, “height”: “container”, “data”: { “values”: [ { “tratti”: “EXECUTIVE”, “field”: “EXECUTIVE”, “type”: “nominal” }, { “tratti”: “ORGANIZZAZIONE”, “field”: “ORGANIZZAZIONE”, “type”: “nominal” }, { “tratti”: “RIPETITIVITA VENDITE”, “field”: “RIPETITIVITA VENDITE”, “type”: “nominal” }, { “tratti”: “FINANZE”, “field”: “FINANZE”, “type”: “nominal” }, { “tratti”: “ATTIVITA”, “field”: “ATTIVITA”, “type”: “nominal” }, { “tratti”: “CERTEZZA QUALITA”, “field”: “CERTEZZA QUALITA”, “type”: “nominal” }, { “tratti”: “NUOVE VENDITE”, “field”: “NUOVE VENDITE”, “type”: “nominal” }, { “tratti”: “STRESS”, “field”: “STRESS”, “type”: “nominal” }, { “tratti”: “PRINCIPI BASE”, “field”: “PRINCIPI BASE”, “type”: “nominal” }, { “tratti”: “AIUTO”, “field”: “AIUTO”, “type”: “nominal” } ] }, “mark”: “bar”, “enco

I am using a sales CRM template. Have completed a small email shot to apron 80 contacts and I want to update the contact records to show this contact/interaction. Struggling to understand how to do this. All help appreciated …Ray

I have a base that tracks students, grades k-12. I have a status field with a label of the student’s grade level. I would like to have a formula that changes the status to the next grade level at the start of a new school year. For example, a student whose status is Kindergarten for a given year to be changed to 1st grade the next school year.

Is there any way yet to export a table with formula fields staying intact? I need to export a table that has roughly 50 formula fields.

Would love some troubleshooting advice. I have always been able to manually drag records to reorder them in grid view. Suddenly I’m not able to move the records. I searched help, and the community questions, and saw that I should look at whether I have a sort indicated or locked. I looked, and I don’t. Anyone know what else I can do to be able to reorder records again? Thank you!

Hope this is the right area to ask for help. The link at Airtable Final Starting Sheet - Airtable Explore the "Final Starting Sheet" view on Airtable. displays a golf starting sheet nicely on a laptop/tablet or desktop but fails miserably when viewed through a smartphone. Any cunning tips to have a decent display on any platform?

Thanks in advance for any insight from the AT community! I have a base that includes a bunch of school enrollment information. Some is static/historical, and some is updated monthly. There is one table that with the list of schools as the primary key, and those schools are linked in another table for monthly enrollment tracking. From the latter is a form that schools complete to enter their monthly enrollment information. The form submission has a “Date Created” field. I want to be able to provide the updated enrollment total based on the MOST RECENT entry date. Because different schools provide there updates on any given date of the month (and some haven’t submitted since the previous month), I can’t just filter by date because I will lose some data. For instance, if I put a filter on the date for the last month, it won’t catch a school that last submitted five weeks ago. For example: Monthly Registration Tracking (School names are linked to the Schools Table) School A - 6/8/2021 - 40

I have a view of records, sorting the amount ($) field from max to min. I only want to show the top 3 amounts in this view. How do I constrain the view to show only the top 3 records?

Hello, can I use date DD-MMM-YY date format like I can with Jotform? Some services will only use the American date format, so I like to use MMM for the month letters, otherwise it’s very easy to mix up the day and month. Tomorrow for example is 10/9/21 - that’s 10th September, unless you’re American then it’s 9th October… sorry, I mean October 9th. I know I can use “friendly format” which shows the full length of the day and month (i.e “Friday, 10th September, 2021”) and cuts off half the date unless the column is unnecessarily wide. I’ve looked at this thread but it doesn’t mean much to me: Date format hints and question on localized date formats for users Custom Apps I noticed the date value provided is structured as M/D/YYYY. Is this consistent across all users? Or does this change depending on regions? ie. D/M/YYYY for EMEA Airtable users, M/D/YYYY for US Airtable users, etc. This might be a new Feature Request, but it would be awesome if CellRenderer ca

I have a base with a few thousand rows and I have a column that is single select type. Is there any way I can automatically populate that entire column with random values from the single select list (about 15 possible values stored there).

Hi, Airtable community I have tables from multiple vendors. Each table has the same fields. I have to combine the records from each of these tables into one table. is there a way to combine multiple tables into one table? One thing I tried to sync table but multiple sync option is not available. Thanks, Veeral

Hi Can anyone help please? I have just found Airtable’s own Extract Base Metadata Script which is amazing! I am using it to build a library of all data across my bases by syncing to a master base. Have found that when it runs it amends but does not delete any fields that have been deleted. Does anyone know how I can add this to the script as it runs? Deleting records in the new table works and then running script but no good now as all my new added fields with reference info will go. Thanks, Maria

Hi. I am using Airtable Desktop app on Macbook Air M1. When I expanded a row to view in details, there were hidden fields that I can’t scroll to the bottom. Below is the example screenshot. Anybody else having the same issue? How can I solve this issue? Thank you.

How can I configure my expanded calendar view beyond hiding fields? How can I move things to the top of my calendar view without affecting my grid view? Wish I could just drag the field that I want to see in my expanded calendar view but I don’t see how to do that

If the search is limited to a field with pre-defined values could there be a drop-menu of those options as the only way to enter criteria?

Bottom Line Up Front: I need help sharing my AT data with external users in a simple and meaningful way. Background: My organization is a nonprofit with over 100 active members, but a team of 2 managing the AT database. We share information and resources with our members using a password-protected web page, this saves us from sending tons of emails each week/month because people can just check the password-protected Team Site, which has all the latest information. We share things like: A list of team members and contact information A list of team members grouped by their cohort/small group A form for submitting appointment information A form for submitting technical difficulties And the list goes on! Problem: It is wonderful to have a sleek design, linked tables, and other benefits of AirTable, BUT I do not know how to share all my tables, bases, forms, etc. in a meaningful way with 100+ stakeholders. I could just add a bunch of hyperlinks or URLs to our password-protected Team Site,

Hi Airtable Community, I am replacing a SharePoint calendar with a calendar built in Airtable since it’s so much easier to modify entries - you can just drag them to different dates in the Calendar view. But, the one thing I can’t figure out is how to automagically create entries in the table for the following sample situations: Payday on the 15th of every month Staff meetings every Tues and Thurs Virtual Happy Hour on the 3rd Thurs of every month … and so on. For now, I’ve copied entries and modified then to build out the calendar items but would love to figure out how to perhaps use automations to create the entries I need. Thanks in advance!

In the desktop app, we don’t get the scroll bar anymore… Anyone else has this bug? I already contacted support, but haven’t got an answer yet.

I have set up an integration between AirTable and Mailchimp. I have a field in Airtable called “MailChimp Tag” but don’t see a way to import that tag in Airtable into a tag in Mailchimp? Can this be done? Any help would be appreciated.

I uploaded a spreadsheet that has an image URL in a column. In Airtable, that’s displayed as a simple URL. Is there any way of turning that URL into an actual attachment? I previously used this spreadsheet in Trello where I imported via Zapier (much more time intensive then Airtable) but could specify the URL as an attachment. Therefore, it was displayed as an image on the Trello card. Thanks

This is driving me nuts: I’m importing events from a Google Calendar sync and it generates HTML markup from the event’s “description” field. I can’t for the life of me figure out a reasonable way to get rid of the HTML. HELP. This seems like it should be easy, but short of some kind of laborious Zapier recipe, I can’t figure it out.

I have two tables. The first one lists the name of classes and the second is a list of students. In the student table, I want to have a field that will allow me to select multiple classes from the other table. How can I create that? I.e. I want a multiple select of the Class Name field in Classes to appear on Students.

I just found the vega-lite block today and am trying to get a stacked bar graph using 2 fields. I stumbled onto the fold example (Fold | Vega-Lite) and was able to convert it to stacked instead of columns… and it looks like exactly what I want inside the vega-lite editor. But inside airtable, it seems that it doesn’t like the return “key” and “value” from the fold command. Gives the error: value is not a valid transform name, inline data name, or field name from the Table1 table: Anyone know if I’m doing something wrong, if this is missing functionality in airtable, or a bug? { "$schema": "https://vega.github.io/schema/vega-lite/v4.json", "title": "Table1", "width": "container", "height": "container", "transform": [{"fold": ["Field1","Field2"]}], "mark": "bar", "encoding": { "x": { "field": "NAME", "type": "nominal" }, "y": { "type": "quantitative", "field": "value" }, "color": { "field": "key", "type": "nomin
