Continuing the discussion from Automated Row Duplication Based on Integer Value In Column: Hello! I’m a beginner here with coding skills that are so outdated, they might as well be hieroglyphics, but I’m looking to upgrade. I found what I thought might be a solution to my problem in the link above, but I’m getting an error message: TypeError: cakeRecordIdsAndNames.map is not a function What I actually need to do is slightly different than the original code intended, so I thought I’d reach out here to see if anyone can help. Essentially, I have a data set that is linked to some current data by the variable name. The newly integrated data has individual years as fields with the relevant value whereas the original data had a field called year and another year called value. We need the latter. So we’re trying to transpose a portion of each record.

I enter many records per day, and sometimes they are duplicated. How can I have airtable warn me about a duplicate record?

Hello, I am using the CONCATENATE formula to concatenate texts coming from different cells plus custom text. Is there a way of starting a new line after the additional text?

Hi, Would you please tell me if there is any way to use Airtable off-line for the bases I already have? If that is not possible, Is there a way I can Batch-CSV download all of my bases at once? Thanks for your help in advance.

Hi, I recently copied in some records that put me over the free plan limit. The warning badge tells me there is a grace period before I can no longer add any more records and will need to upgrade. I’ve searched the help docs/FAQs and this forum but I can’t find the length of that grace period anywhere. Could someone tell me how long that grace period is? Thanks in advance.

I have an Airtable database of questions and dates/times, and am running an automation that runs an Airtable script hitting a Twilio Studio Flow to send a message every hour (message is currently hardcoded.) I’d like to to just send a message from the Airtable at the date/time in the corresponding Airtable row. This is the Airtable I query the table with let queryResult = await QuestionsTable.selectRecordsAsync(); let record = queryResult.records[0]; console.log(record.getCellValueAsString("Priority")); // Query for all participants. const participants = (await ParticipantsTable.selectRecordsAsync({ sorts: [ {field: "Phone Number"} ] })).records; output.set('participants', JSON.stringify(participants)); for(const aParticipant of participants) { // Create

I just created a new workspace. It has appeared at the bottom of the list of workspaces I already have operating. Is there anyway to rearrange the order in which they appear?

Distributing a schedule with links to over 600+ people. Has any one experienced problems with 600+ folks accessing an Airtable read-only view link simultaneously?

Hi, I have a table with some data (ID number, start time, end time etc.) imported from another app and I would like to have them updated when the original data from the source change. I’ve tried Integromat Upsert record module but without success. Is there a way how to identify the record by the value in column “ID number” that is imported from the original data source and update/rewrite values in columns “start time, end time etc.”

I am trying to plan various combinations of trips, people, and room assignments. For the sake of simplicity, let’s say there are: 25 trips this year 10 two-person rooms available for each trip. 300 people who may go on these trips. Many will go on more than one trip. I have tables for people, for trips, and for rooms. How/where do I combine these so that I can plan who goes into what room on each trip?

Hi all, I´m trying to integrate Airtable with Appgyver using the Airtable API. I need to retrieve some fields from different tables based on an unique value (the company id) which is not the record id. Is it possible? Can I retrieve different fields from different tables based on the company id instead of the record id ? How can I do that?

Hi, as the title says, is it possible to remove the stickiness of primary tables while scrolling horizontally? It’s irritating because sometimes a field that’s hidden behind it seems to be having a blank title while it’s only hidden. So is there a way? I didn’t find the option to when I right clicked on it. TYIA.

Is there some trick to attaching files using the web Form on iPhone? I seem to be able to select them from my phone, but then there doesn’t seem to be a way to close the selection window without removing the file itself from the form submission? Thanks.

Hi, I have set up a sync between Airtable and gcal, but regardless of the duration of these events, (some are 2 hours, some are as long as 8 hours), they all show up as 1 hour in gcal. When I go back to Airtable, everything looks correct. (ex: 10:00 start, 12:00 end). I have tried re-syncing multiple times, but it doesn’t change. Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks, /Krista

So … I have a base where two people add and withdraw from one bank account. The account is supposed to be 50/50 … but one person isn’t contributing as much as the other. I have all the data in, but I need a breakdown like a dashboard … that takes 50% of the expenses that both pay … and adds the expenses that only one pays … does that make sense? I have a base, but I’m hesitant to share it here, because it has a lot of financial data. If you think you can help, I’ll totally DM it to you.

I want to use a form to request entertainers. In the base, I have a lookup field for Event Contact (looking up in the Event Contact table). My problem is that when I put the Event Contact field on the Form, the requester can see all of the current contacts. I would like them to be able to enter their name without seeing other contact names. Is this possible??

I already know that the prefill form is used for text fields. Can the attachment field be used in the same way?

I have a table with an automation that runs when a record is updated. If I create a row by hand, the automation runs as expected, but when a row gets created via a Zapier automation, the script isn’t triggered? Is there something different about rows created via zapier vs creating them by hand?

Before the duration field was added, I was using “Start” and “Stop” fields with this formula: IF( AND(NOT({Start}), NOT({Stop})), "", IF( {Stop}, ROUND((DATETIME_DIFF(Stop, Start, 'minutes') / 60) * 4 , 0) / 4 , ROUND((DATETIME_DIFF(NOW(), Start, 'minutes') / 60) * 4 , 0) / 4 )) This gave me a nicely rounded decimal number for billing purposes. I’d like to use the new duration field to eliminate a step here, but can’t figure out how to convert that fields value.

I’m fairly new to customizing Airtable and would like to create a catalog in a pdf format with Airtable data. The pdf needs to have clickable hyperlinks. Does anyone know if there is a way to do this? Thank you very much.

Pretty much what the title says. We have a role in the company that is going to be split. One of the users / accounts was given “Creator” status, and we need to change it back to “Editor”. I’ve done that, but the account can still do all of the things that a Creator can do. Is there a known issue about this problem?

Hi, We have been using Airtable for a while to collect real time data from commercial units where our field agents checks the stock available. This is how it looks like: Date / Product / Commercial Unit … Each report has a deadline. For example: in row 10. For Biotech USA (product) at Hodmezovasarhely Interspar (commercial unit) the report has to be fulfilled each Monday and Thursday recurrently. For each product and commercial unit we have different fulfilment date that has to be checked. We must notice if we don’t receive a report in time. Remaining with the example above: Biotech USA at Hodmezovasarhely Interspar 09.20.2021. 09.23.2021. 09.27.2021. 09.30.2021. ETC. ETC. Any idea how to work this out? I will appreciate any support. Thanks, Andonisz

Hi all! I’m rather new to formulas and the like and was hoping to solve the following: If task in my “Status” Column is anything other than “Complete” or “Archived”, AND it is past “Targeted Completion” Date, then “Status” should read “Overdue”. Here’s how far (not far) I got: IF(IS_BEFORE({Target Completion}, TODAY()),“Overdue”)) Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated! Cheers :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:
