Hi folks, I’m an Airtable rookie trying to do something fairly complex… thanks in advance for the help! My main table has a list of projects (films) with several additional fields, the most relevant being Completion Date, Revenue, Team Hours Dedicated, and Quality Score. I’m trying to create another table (or series of tables) with a monthly scorecard which automatically calculates the following metrics on the first day of each month, only for projects which were completed in the last 90 days: Total Revenue Average Team Hours Dedicated per project Median Quality Score I’ve been trying various combinations of IF statements, DATEADD, etc., but am making little headway. Any ideas?

So I have a little project Im working on currently, Currently im using the Zendesk Beta and im trying to utilize the “Assignee” which is email addresses. I want to have a formula that can replace the email address that’s in the assignee to another table that has my employees names (also includes their email) so I can have a formula that replaces the data with that name instead of an email (I know you cant edit Sync Sources thought this would be best bet type of solution). Any help would be awesome im fairly new to AirTable still learning some of its tricks and features.

Hi! I checked through the community posts but can’t seem to find the answer. Is there a way to use automations to insert multiple records into a linked record field? Context: I am creating an automation where in an employee can update their leave application via airtable form. The automation works if the employee is only encoding one date. However, since the field allows a multiple linking of records they can select multiple dates as well. This is where the error comes in. Is there any work around?

Hi all :wave: , I’m a founder at Vero. We’ve just released Vero Newsletters, a newsletter tool that enables you to connect to Airtable, query your data “in place” and send. Most newsletter products, like Mailchimp, want to both store your customer data and send your newsletters. We’ve built something different. Something more flexible: we don’t want to store your data, we just want to help you use it. This let’s you decide where you store your customer data, how you organise it, how you segment it and if you enrich it with other data. I wrote a blog piece last week to show one way to create a double opt-in

I’m prefilling a link in a button field to an adobe webform. It works perfectly if I click the button on desktop, but on mobile it encodes the # that adobes requires as is and doesnt fill the form. Is there something I change in the button? Its useless if mobile users can’t use it since most of the team uses their phones vs desktop. My button: CONCATENATE("https://na1.documents.adobe.com/public/esignWidget?xxxxxxxxxxxx*#”,”L-Number=",{L#s...},"&Name=",{ID.},"&Microchip=",{Microchip Number},"&Age=",{Years/Months},"&Breed=",Breed,"&Sex=",Sex,"&Fee=",Fee) iOS link that opens the right form but doesnt prefill: https://na1.documents.adobe.com/public/esignWidget?XXXXXXXXXXX*%23L-Number=CP21-069&Name=Cassie&Microchip=990000005808221&Age=1%20year&Breed=Border%20Collie&Sex=Female&Fee=175 Link that opens and works on desktop:

Hey there, we’re just starting using Airtable a bit more intensive than in the past. One of the biggest issue we are facing is performance when switching between tables. Our customer table only contains around 3000 rows of data but it takes 3-5 secs at a minimum to load each time we switch to other tables. There are connections to another table with around 8000 rows which are linked to the customers but I can’t believe it is checking these connections on every reload/switch to other tables, is it? If so the problem would only get worse with growing numbers and we could just stop using Airtable again. Any other idea?

I created a form (or survey) successfully and embeded it on a web page for my university class, but it is cut off. Not all the questions show, yet the submission button is there at the bottom as it should be. Any suggestions? Thanks KGB

Can you use automations in airtable to automatically extract a csv of a view in your base? I have a views that I’d like to have extracted automatically without having to go into airtable each time to do it. Can this be done? Thanks!

Is the a way that a non collaborator can take some (but not all) fields from an existing record and create a new record from it that then can be edited, using some sort of form, button or automation?. Ie Can I have a name, address, email address duplicated but not the various date/$ amount and various notes fields? We have a table that includes customer name and address and payments made and often we have to pay the same person more than once but with different amounts and for different reasons. I realise if we had known this from the start we could have created a seperate customer table but we are to far down the road to go back and change that. Thanks in advance

How do I filter a view where the date record created is greater than a specifc date? ie ony show records more recent than July 1st 2021 I assume it is simple but I can’t work it out.

Hello there, I have a table [Main] with PNG files in {Attachments}. Unfortunately, the file name is “UnnamedAttachment” for most of them. The desired file name (including .png extension) can be found in the field {Filename}. How can I manually trigger a batch name change of the files in {Attachments} to the the name in {Filename}? Thank you! Cheers Christoph

I want to create a view where I can see ONLY milestones. I don’t see a way to filter based on milestone. Ideas? I suppose I could make a new field called milestones, but was thinking maybe there is already a button.

Hello All, I created a table in my base called notes. Customized the field type to Long Text then turned on the Enable rich text formatting. Copied and pasted a bunch of town names into one of the cells. Clicked on expand cell blue button so I could see the whole list. When it opened it had a red zig-zag underline under most of the names. I was right clicking on them all one by one and selecting add to dictionary when I realized I had added one of them to the dictionary that was spelled incorrectly. NOTE: Undo from adding to dictionary only seems to work on the LAST word added. Q: How do I find this dictionary and remove the misspelled word so it is caught again in the future! Thank you Jonathan

I am aware that Airtable does not have included functionality to use the embed app based on a field in a record. Is there a custom app or other option to accomplish this? Possibly using the field URL in an iFrame through Javascript or typescript? I want to be able to view a google doc URL from a record as an embedded URL so we can type and update the doc in real time without leaving Airtable.

Hello I have in my base five columns: Product Name (starting point) (ex: Apple Macbook) Main Color (optional) Secondary Color (optional) Finish (optional) Product Variant Name (formula) I am trying to write the following formula to generate the “Product variant name” , but having a hard time: Product Variant Name = Main Color + “,” + Secondary Color + “,” + Finish However, IF ANY of those three optional fields is (blank) then skip it as well as the “,” corresponding to it My hope is to get in “product variant name” a clean product name.

I am trying to do a look up based on two fields. Here is the situation: my first field is called Severity and it is the primary field of a “severity definition” table, which contains 5 records my second field is called Probability and it is the primary field of a “probability definition” table, which also contains 5 records I have created a junction table, called “Risk acceptability” which is built with the two above-mentioned fields; the primary field is built as a formula (Severity&"-"&Probability). On that table is the field “Acceptability” which is the one I will try to lookup. See below -Finally, my FMEA table will allow for any new record to pick a Severity and a Probability: I would like to automatically have the “Acceptability” appear. So I have created the same formula in that table (Severity&"-"&Probability) to look
