Hey, can anyone tell me if features available to upgraded users (Plus, Pro, etc.) will be visible to non-upgraded users in a certain workspace? For example, If a certain base contains Gantt charts, a pro feature, will a “free” user who the base is shared with be able to see or interact with the gantt chart? Thank you in advance for your help!

I love the way Airtable organises data & makes everything visual. Can the software be inked to existing excel files for better integration?

Hello, I have 3 rows like this… companyA: US companyB: CA companyC: US, CA But I want to be able to group by territory so that I see… CA companyB companyC US companyA companyC Is that possible? I.e. to have single rows such as “companyC” appear in multiple groupings because of the multiple attributes it contains? If not, the problem is that I’d have to create 2 rows for companyC which is annoying if you want to apply a company-level comment to the row. Thanks for any thoughts, Daniel

Hi! I’m trying to use automation to input a duration in a duration field from a text field but it doesn’t seem to work (i.e. after automation, 08:00 in text field appears as 0:08 in duration field). Is there anyway to make this work?

Hi there team, I am trying to sync 20+ tables from base A to a single table in base B. Does anyone have recommendations on how this can be done without an Enterprise plan? It would ultimately result in the table in base B to have all the records from the 20+ tables in base A combined under one table (like a master table of all the records). It is important that the records within the table in base B automatically match any changes made to any record found in the 20+ tables in base A. The reason we want to do this is to be able to create a Airtable form in which the user can select a record from the complete list of records found in the 20+ tables in Base A. We would really appreciate any help and feedback! Thanks in advance :slightly_smiling_face: Thanks Jonathan

So it seems my airtable account is two different emails. I have two different emails but they all go to the same inbox if that makes sense so I’m seeing if there is a way to merge these accounts as I don’t want to restart with my other emails. Plus I have credits on the other one and a pro plan. Any help is much appreciated

I have a simple table called “Imported table” where Field 1 is merchant category and Field 2, 3, 4…10 are merchant names. I am looking for a JS function with merchant name as parameter and if present in the database, can return the corresponding Field 1 name. One option that I’ve been trying is filterbyFormula as REGEX_Match and loop from field 1 to 10, but can’t seem to figure how to complete the function. Appreciate any inputs on this or better ways to do this.

Hi! I am really stumped and hoping someone can help. I am trying to add a lookup field that filters in my budget from another table. Here is my first table, you can see I have the linked record (idk why it’s empty) and the lookup field for budget, but it is empty. Here is the other table I am trying to filter in from, as you can see there is budget in every column (sorry for the narrow screenshot, private info cropped out) Am I misunderstanding lookup fields? Any insight is appreciated!

Hello i want to embed my tabil data now how can i show email as exam***@gmail.com! ??

Dear ones, I need help. I’m using a filter on another system that searches the result based on a certain date. If I inform the filter as follows. Date = “2021-06-25”, The expectation is that I would return all the rows that appear on this date, however filtering this way I have no return. If I use the Date filter >=“2021-06-25”. it works, but it brings me back not only the lines corresponding to that date but all the other dates ahead. What is the right way to filter an exact date in the airtable?

I have URLs to articles/newsletters that I store on Airtable. I want to extract an image and text snippet from that article to display as preview (Like you see when sharing an article on twitter/slack/whatsapp etc). Is there a way to do that on airtable?

I would like to generate a new Multiple Select field that contains values found in a series of Checkbox fields. Currently the Subject of each row is marked as a Checkbox. There can be one or more Subject values for each row. Can you help me write a formula that tests a series of Checkbox fields and generates values in a Multiple Select field that match the Name of the Checkbox fields? I have several groups of Checkbox values I would like to apply this formula to, in order to create a more compact Gallery display. Thanks for any help you can offer an Airtable Newbie

Hi, I currently have my IT-inventory in Airtable. I would like to upgrade this with a kind of lending/borrow system. Where the employee’s can scan a QR code and take the (monitor, keyboard, mouse, etc…) device and I know who took it. And when they afterwards return the device and scan again, it shows in Airtable that it’s returned. Is this possible in Airtable or is there something that already exists?

I can’t seem to get email notifications to work in Airtable. I have a collaborator field, with the option clicked on that says “Notify collaborators when they’re added.” I’ve also checked my notification settings and email notifications are enabled. This is not working for my account or any of my co-worker’s accounts. Any thoughts? Thanks!

I’m working on a base that makes some currency calculations and I’ve noticed that when you have an amount that ends in a 0, e.g. £10.50, the zero at the end won’t show up in markdown that I’m using in automations. It will show as £10.5 instead. For any other amount that doesn’t end in a zero, you will get the two decimal places. The same happens whether it’s a formula field, a number field or a currency field. I could probably correct this with something like IF(RIGHT, 2=".", {Number} & “0”), i.e. add a zero when the second from right character is a decimal point, but that seems like an ugly way of doing things. Any advice?

I want to import a JSON dataset. I know I can’t import JSON, but I know I can convert the JSON first to CSV, which is importable. The problem with that is my dataset contains arrays inside the JSON object, eg.: "variations": [ 227, 329, 229, 190, 119, 123, 152, 155 ] In a JSON-to-CSV convertor, this comes out as multiple columns, variations/1, variations/2, variations/3 etc That is not appropriate since, in Airtable, I want the “variations” field to be a Multi-select. How can I accomplish this?

I want to allow members of the team to create custom views via a lookup form (without going into the base). For example, see all records that match a given criteria (type: flower, color:red). Is there a way to do this without pre-creating a view? example: on a form, user enters type:flower, color:red. It returns a view/table with: record1 - rose record2 - tulip miniextensions has a search page that does what I am looking for, I assume this is a form on their site that then uses the API to retrieve info from the base, correct?

Hello, I am trying to create a database using the barcode field. However, the barcodes that I have generated (type code 128) are not read by my phone camera, whereas a barcode scanner on my phone can read them perfectly. Can you please advise on how solve the issue? Thanks a lot, Marziye.

I’m reminding my team of tasks weekly, using a digest. Some weeks there are 0 tasks (although rare). If this happens, the run is considered a failure, and I’m sent a report about it. If there are no records to be found , I don’t want a digest to be sent. So in reality I don’t consider it a failure. Is there any way to adapt the automation to this? Or do I need to await a potential if/then feature?

I want to build a custom CRM for my inside sale team and other teams. I have a Master base that has all the leads data also that’s where we want to assign who will take care of these leads. After we assign a lead, our Sale Agent will see new lead appear inside of their own Sub-CRM. We could do that with Filter and Importrange in Google Sheet. Could we do the same here in Air Table?
