Is there any way to show if a record has a certain field already present in another record in the view/table? For example show that the Airtable link is present 2 times Thx

I have a time where an event starts and I want to set a tweet for each event 24 and 12 hours prior. Problem is when I use a formula for the Date -1 it gives me the right date but the time defaults to 12am and if I switch to not same timezone for all it moves it to the day before. Either way I want to be able to say event is 7/1/2021 at 10pm gmt. and I need a cell to tell me the time for the 12 hour or 24 hour tweet so I can run a NOW calc against it in the view to trigger the tweet.

I have a Automatoin to send Slack message. But, in some conditional(like last step’s output put a null value for “Send a Slack message Action”), I will not send the message? How can i do?

I’m new to Airtable (and totally obsessed) and I know enough to be dangerous. I’m certain there is an automated/quick way to rollup data from another table based on the criteria in one field… but I can.not.figure.it.out. Table one has financial data with one record for each week. I have a Date field for “Week Ending,” and formula fields for Quarter and Year. In Table Two, I want to have one record per Quarter with a Rollup/Count or something showing my totals from a field which I could then use for further formula fields. I’ve got something kind of working (see pic) but surely there’s a better way! Help!

Hi there, When I click on import data from csv in google drive to start a base, I am taken to a survey. After the survey, I am taken to a thank you page without the pop-up to select the file. Is this a bug? Has anyone else experienced this? Thanks

Hi, Using the following script from this post, I created a field that combines a URL and text: let tb = base.getTable(“URL Test”); let query = await tb.selectRecordsAsync(); for (let record of query.records) { let url = record.getCellValue(“URL”); let name = record.name; let text = record.getCellValue(“Text”); if(url) { tb.updateRecordAsync(record, {“Rich”: [${text}](${url}) - ${name}}) } } I have two questions: 1: Can I make this script complete this task in multiple columns? (for example - perform the script for column “Rich” and then have “Rich2” to repeat the script, but using a different URL column.) 2: This doesn’t work if my URL is coming from a lookup - even if the lookup is a URL. Is there a way to get this to work from a lookup field? Thanks! Jeffrey

Has anyone received an updates from the Airtable team on where things stand with respect to local storage backups of an entire base and being able to conduct recurring backups? In addition, the lack of offline access is extremely concerning. It’s extremely concerning that an app that I would be relying on heavily to run my day to day practice/business could potentially be offline for whatever reason. How are you guys/gals overcoming these limitations? Do you share these concerns and have there been any recent updates from Airtable staff directly related to this?

I have a user that is receiving the message " You do not have permission to view this content. This view is restricted to a specific email domain." However, when I check the users email domain against the domains that are allowed to view content, the domain is in the list. What other areas should I check to gain access for my user?

Hello. I’m facing an issue with the “Multiple Select” field when adding multiple values (decimals) of the current price of the kW. Sometimes, the kW price doesn’t change for the next two hours, so the value is repeated, but the table only saves one of them… Example: 0:00 - price is 0.12261000 1:00 - price is 0.15979000 2:00 - price is 0.15979000 3:00 - price is 0.14321000 But in the field, it’s saving only: 0.12261000, 0.15979000, 0.14321000 Instead of: 0.12261000, 0.15979000, 0.15979000, 0.14321000 How can I allow the same item multiple times inside the multiple-selection field? I’m adding the records using the API. Thanks.

Hi, I need to determine which of my projects were active in the previous month, and also active in the past 12 months. For the previous month, if we are now in June, I want to see which records were active in May (so I’m not looking for specific dates). For each record I’m looking at, I have a project start and project end which I can use to see when a project was active. So somehow I need to see if the previous month is within those project start and end dates. And ditto for the previous 12 months. I tried to find the answer here in the community and spent a lot of time looking at Airtable date functions, but I can’t seem to figure it out. Thanks in advance!

Hey All! I am using a rollup field with the function ARRAYUNIQUE() in hopes of getting unique values but am still getting duplicates. I have a base with partners and markets, and I want to show all of the partners available in each market. However, when I rollup the values from the market table, I am getting duplicate values. (i.e. if Boston and Chicago both have same partner, then the unique rollup is showing that partner twice. Is there a way to fix this? Does my question make sense? Thank you so much for any help!!

I know locking the column will prevent users from editing/deleting data from a row - but will this also prevent someone from deleting the entire column?

Hi, Im currently testing the app to see if we can incorporate it to my company. My main issue is the way that data can be linked between tables. The “link to another record” opcion only let you choose by the name of the record, we often need to link by differentes parameters (other values of other columns with in that record). Pivot tables in excel or sheets are so useful becouse you can arrenge your data in the way you want and various values at a time, and link these results dynamiclly to another table. Pivot Tables app in AirTable dosent work like that, only let you summarize a couple of values and I cannot find the way of link these results to another table. For example, I have 1000 records named with the client username with information about age, nacionality, gender, real name, number of entrys, etc etc. Sometimes I need summarize how male users are, sometimes by their age, sometime by the name (how many “Carlos”?), by an averege of their age related by the nationality, etc etc.

My base records trading days and transactions for a small visitor attraction that is open a few days each week. There are two tables - Trading days… which records the days open and the visitor numbers. Income/Expenditure… which records any cash transactions linked to the trading days. Each transaction is a positive or negative cashflow amount. I roll up the cashflow in a column in the Trading Days table, and can thus report on the monthly cashflow through a grouped view. If income is £10 more than outgoings, the total of the rollup is £10… that’s the “cash on hand”. What’s missing is the ability to show the previous month’s closing “cash on hand” anywhere - which is the starting point for this month of course. It’s effectively the total of the cashflow column in I/E view grouped by month and limited to last month’s entries. So I want to rollup the PREVIOUS month’s cashflow column into a column called “CARRIED FORWARD”. I know, this will show the same figure in every record created this

What can I do? I just created an account but why is my airtable full of content that I did not create? I don’t know what to do? I’m vry confused?

With Windows 10, the user can select an OBJ file (3D model) within File Explorer and the model will preview in a simplistic manner, allowing the user to spin and zoom the model. Is there any Airtable app solution available for this feature in Airtable? The current Airtable 3D app is interesting, however it is more about users interacting within a 3D space and concatenates each 3D record into the one 3D space - its effectively useless for simply previewing one 3D record at a time, and doesn’t have a camera orbit feature. All I’m after is a 3D file viewer app experience, where the camera orbits the file, and the user can toggle the orbit, spin the model. Extra points if they can ambient change lighting. I’m hoping the existing Airtable 3D app devs read this and can add this functionality to their feature pipeline.

Until today I have been able to download a .pdf image from AirTable to my Desktop as a .pdf so that I could use the feature on my Microsoft Surface to make notations on the .pdf, then resave it to the desktop and upload the notated document back to AirTable. For some reason, though I can download the document that saves is not in the .pdf format.

Hi Community! I could use some help I’m trying to set up an automation that will trigger airtable to send an email on a given date and at a specific time. The trigger I’m currently using is when a record matches a condition and the condition being when send date is. However, I can’t specify the exact time. Thanks for your hep!

I’m Fairly new to the coding side of Airtable. There are terms I don’t understand yet. Could someone explain what is REST API? Where can I learn more about it too?

Hi guys, I have multiple bases with the same structure. (Meaning - same fields, same data but different clients). I’m trying to build a base that contains all records from all of the bases with a specific status (the status called ‘Send Pitch’). So, I’ve managed to collect all of these statuses from all bases using AT automation and scripting block. The first step is “When record matches conditions” (when the status = “Send Pitch”) and then a short script to add the relevant values into my webhook. let url = "https://hooks.zapier.com/hooks/catch/XXXXXXX/?recordID="; let config = input.config(); let baseID = base.id; let table = base.getTable("SDR Workbench"); let tblID = table.id; let basename = base.name; await fetch(url + config.recordId + '&baseID=' + baseID + '&tblid=' + tblID + '&tblname=' + basename + '&cname=' + config.cname + '&fuptxt=' + config.fuptext); So, one way is good. All of the records with a “Send Pitch” status are sent to my new base. My proble

Hi Everone, So We have a base contains all content titles from Series and Movies, I have created another synced base reading all the content that is coming in the next months, and Marketing people like to apply their campaigns depending on the scale of each title. My first content base " Primary column is the name of the title " English title + Season + EPS formula and because the marketing base is synced with it, it shows a synced primary column. however, the Marketing people would like to have their own Primary filed but still synced with that one from the content base. Is there a way to change the primary column in the synced table base without affecting the primary column in my source? like they want to add a campaign name or an event. Or how can I un-sync the primary Column in Airtable from a synced table? Thanks in advance my awesome community. My Best Ahmed

Hello, can I show all of the cards in a gallery view rather than requiring use of the scroll bar? tia

Here is what I am trying to do. I have 1 base that is every customer and their submissions. They can be split up into different order numbers. So every row in Base 1 has an order number attached to it. The next base is order numbers and shows all order numbers and what stage they are in. I want the “stage” column in sheet 1 to update what stage the order number is in whenever I change “stage” in the order numbers sheet and update it is for all records that are in that order number. So I change “stage” in “order number base” and then every row in Base 1 that has that same order number will change the “stage” filed to match up. I am assuming their is a way to do this but I am running into a wall - Yes, I am new to airtable but I see the massive potential!

Hello, I’d like to automation one field ( Créateur) with another field (CA). You can see in the picture . For the moment, I must enter “Créateurs” and “CA” two times in oder to complete another table “CA” . I’ve try to make automation but I’m not fix it . When I make automation, Airtable don’t show me the possibility to imput “Créateurs” in the table. I’m asking to myself if this field type, in this case, single select, can be the problem ?
