I keep a table that shows how many hours I have available to work for clients each week. I am a freelancer who provides X number of hours support each week to around 10-15 clients. Each of my clients has their own column with their requested hours on the worksheet. I then use a formula column to calculate how many hours I have remaining so that I can build in new work. As I get busier, I am increasingly asking my associates to do some of the hours for me. I would like to find a way to show how many of the client’s requested hours are being worked by me and how many of the client’s requested hours are being worked by my associates. This will then help me to plan extra work where I know I have gaps because my associates are taking care of some of the hours. I hope that makes sense but here is a screenshot of my simple worksheet. Any suggestions of the best way to show what I’ve described would be wonderful. Thanks ever so much.

I am researching on how to integrate our application with airtable base as a database. Any links to the api/ integration docs/guides on this would be helpful.

Hi everyone, I would like to embed an Airtable view of our calendar to our internal knowledge managment site. However, I don’t know where to disable the email domain restrictions imposed by the enterprise account (“Your enterprise account has additional email domain restrictions enabled.”). Embedding the calendar works fine on our internal site, but it then requires everyone to first create an Airtable account with our email domain to be able to see the calendar entries. Not everyone reading that site has or even needs an Airtable account. Is it possible to disable these email domain restrictions somewhere? Or is that only possible as an admin?

So I have a wiki-like database where users can add information and request to edit information. I am currently working on a prefilled form and automation where they can edit the entries themselves. However, this table is kind of massive in the sense that there are a lot of columns and some of the information is a bit lengthy. Here is where my question comes in. Is there a limit to the length a prefilled form link can be? Or how many fields an automation can have? Also, my automation tests keep failing when a select field or other non-text field is present. It would be nice if the data could be added (appended) instead of overwritten, which would negate the need for such a huge prefilled form. I don’t think airtables update automation can do that though? P.S. I am on a free plan so apps and the like are a no-go.

Hi, I have added a fairly simple scripting block that accesses an endpoint on my application. The error when running this is below, but can’t for the life of me work out what this is referring to. Has anyone got any ideas? ERROR SyntaxError: Unexpected token C in JSON at position 0 at Unexpected token C in JSON at position 0 let token = await input.textAsync("Insert Token") let table = base.getTable("test"); let record = await input.recordAsync('Pick a record',table) let initialRaw = record.getCellValue("updatedcontent") let recordid = "60cf7b6133fed78cdae3ca48" let env = await input.buttonsAsync('Choose Environment', ['Test', 'Live']) var exampleRequest = { "items":[ {"ID":"1234", "name":"Mr Smith"}; var exampleRaw = JSON.stringify(exampleRequest) let raw = JSON.stringify(initialRaw) let url='' if (env=='live') { url= 'https:/

Let’s say I had 400 records and I create two grid views. Will that count as 800 records?

E.g., at least provide indentation so simple outlines can be created. Better yet, why not provide a full-feature RT editor? Should be simple implementation, no?

Is there a way to tell how many times a table/view has been seen? For instance, if we share the Airtable URL with external users, is there a way to tell if the link has been used, and how many views there have been?

I am trying to sort information for employee reviews in columns, but I;m not sure what tool I should be using or if it is even possible to do in Airtable. Here is the scenario: I have a list of email addresses (column 1) and employees (column 2). In column 3, using a linked record to the email address, I have assigned people who will do peer reviews. Now I would like to add a column that shows all the employees assigned to the original employee (column 2). Is this possible?

I have a database that uses tags. When a new tag is added, I have to manually change everything. This sucks because there are hundreds and hundreds of rows! I was hoping that I can create a separate table with all the tags in it and when I add tags to that table, it would be available in the dropdown menu. I know I can do this with a linked record?, but the search feature I want to keep would not be available, which is the toggle feature below. The linked method does not show the user what tags there are to use or search by. Anyway, just curious if this could be done…without having to pay for a service as this project has no funding.

Hello- I am a formula novice. I have created a countdown formula to track how many years and months I have before my leases expire. If looks as follows: ({Remaining Term (YRS) (as of today)}& " years, "& Months) This formula works well, but I cant seem to add a “IF” statement. that if my {Remaining Term (YRS) (as of today" field is blank, i.e., no date, that the formula returns the result “Vacant” Any help would be appreciated.

Hello, We create a workplace with differents collaborators. I would like to automatically send emails but with the email of a collaborator. Is it possible through Airtable? Thank you.

Hi everyone, I’m using airtable to keep track and make labels on our orders. The Page Designer app is very friendly in terms of the design and inserting relevant information on the label. However, I couldn’t figure out a way to make the printing part easier. For example, when I have a few items on each row and each has a different quantity (let’s say item A x1; item B x5; item C x3). All I can do now is to go to “Current record” from the app and print each item one by one. It is very frustrating when we have more than 100 items. I’d love to hear your experience and what you could think of to solve this problem. Cheers, Jane

Hi, I want to know how to the change the avatar background color. As you can see in the attached screenshot, two of the collaborators have the same background color for their avatar icons. Apart from updating the picture, can I change the background color to differentiate them? Thank you. Victor

Trying to to get a percentage in a column called %won. I have a basic formula of {actual amount/amount needed} however some of my actuals are $0 so NaN appears in those columns which won’t give me a total Average of % won. So I used an If statement IF({Minimum Credit Needed} = 0,{Actual Credit}, IF({Actual Credit} = 0, 0, {Actual Credit} / {Minimum Credit Needed})) Now I have some crazy percentages and my average is not even close. When any of the columns have a 0 I really just want it to not factor into the overall average. Can someone help me with the formula? Thanks

Feature suggestion for Airtable. Make markers on text for comments like you do for images. That way a user can identify what another user is commenting about like the part of a text field. Comment tracking is the main reason our writers won’t switch from Google Docs to Airtable.

Has anyone used AirTable for proofing (i.e. email, print materials, graphics, etc). That would be willing to share an example of a base that works for you? We’re looking to outsource our proofing process with a different software, but if there’s a way for it to work within AirTable, that would be the best.

Hello there, In setting up grid views I noticed that when a non-account holder has access to a view, there is a “Try Airtable for free” pop-up on the right side of the view. Is there any way to not have that pop up? Also, for both account holders and non-account holders, a “Use this data” button is at the top right of the view. Is there anyway to hide or disable this? Thanks, Blake

Hello there , Is there any way to create conditional select fields in airtable? I want to change select option values for one select field on the basis of another select field dynamically. For instance I have 3 dropdowns A, B and C . A has 10 values , If I select 1 value in A select field , B field should display content related to A field and similarly C field should display the content related to B field. Is it feasible in airtable .I have tried to use views to achieve this but there are a number of options related to each field , so it will be quite troublesome to create view for each possible combination. Is there any alternative that we can make use of to achieve the end result? This functionality is implemented in google sheets with the help of google scripts but I want to use airtable to manage my data. here is the link for google sheet functionality :

Hi, I am trying to call AirTable from inside a Lambda function using a local instance (using AWS SAM). If I just use node/js as is, it all works fine (so I know the code should work). But once I put it inside the Lambda and try to run it, I see nothing in the console. Any clues as to what is going on? This is the code I am running let response; exports.lambdaHandler = async (event, context) => { var Airtable = require('airtable'); var base = new Airtable({apiKey: 'k***************3'}).base('ap****************8jC'); base('Course Locations').select({ maxRecords: 3, view: "Myview" }).eachPage(function page(records, fetchNextPage) { records.forEach(function(record) { console.log('Retrieved');//, record.get('Name (Abbrev.)') }); }, function done(err) { if (err) { console.error(err); return; } }); try { respons

Budget for this: $0; meaning I am looking for solutions that are free. Is it possible to automatically keep two tables the same when adding a field to the main table? I don’t need to sync data, but the fields themselves. Example: When I add a field to table 1, that field will also be added to table 2 in the same place. Or if I delete a field, that field will also be deleted in table 2.

Hi, I am planning to recommend Airtable to my client for the coming project. We have a few automation tasks which Airtable has been proved to be the best tool. While Airtable provides powerful automation/scripting abilities, I am wondering is it possible to access the webhook headers as well in addition to the body/payload. Thank you!

Hi all, Does anyone know how to forward emails (Gmail) to create a new record as a task in an Airtable To-Do list? Similar to the way I can forward emails to my ToDoist inbox or a receipt to my QuickBooks inbox? Thanks!

I would like to generate a unique primary key for each record of a table/database based on the following criteria: Use the first letter of the person’s first name. For example, a record with the first name of “Scott” will have the key beginning with an “S.” Followed by a four-digit sequence number starting with 0001. Example: If I was to create a new record for myself, my key is S0001. If the next entry has the first name of “Howard,” the key would be H0001. Then if I create a record for someone with the first name of Susan, the key would be S0002 because S0001 already exists. Similarly, Helen would be H0002. etc. Can this be done using Airtable? Thank you. Scott

I am hoping to find a FREE solution right now, if possible. This project I am working on is new so there is no money to spend on it. So I have a table that has an input form for measurements like so: Field 1 Name: Height Field Answer: 70cm Field 2 Name: Head circumference Field Answer: 8cm Field 3 Name: Foot length Field Answer: 6cm Is there a way to combine those fields into one after submitting the form and format them (Bullet points)? Example: Field 1 Name: Measurements Field Answer: Height: 70cm Head circumference: 8cm Foot Length: 6cm Thanks.
