Hi I have two fields that I am trying to use an IF AND statement on One is a date field {Rollout Date} and one is a checkbox {BU Code Updated} I want to write a statement that returns an “error” message when the date is before today’s date and the checkbox is {BU Code Updated} checkbox is unchecked - nothing needs to be returned if the date is after today and the checkbox is unchecked

Hi, I am Pro table premium with the annual plan. I would like to onboard one team to help me with my Airtable database data, but I don’t want to pay another annually; I would love to spend the other account as monthly due for only contract base. Now my question, If adding one collaboration, does that mean that I have to pay him annually as well? Or I do not understand the plan instruction yet. What would be the best solution in my case? I hope someone can explain to me. Thank you

We have set up several calendars for various streams. Now we would like to create a new ‘mothership calendar’ to be able to view all the events in the individual calendars in one place. Is there a way to do this without having to link to each event?

Here is an interesting integration I found. I use the Clipto app for some time although I am disappointed it takes them for about 2 years now to create an app for iOS. I thought the project is going to be abandoned but then suddenly they got this on offer now - a Zapier integration. https://clipto.pro/#/zapier So in this scenario you copy the text on Android device (copy menu) or computer and by doing so it would trigger a Zapier workflow, which could of course mean updating Airtable for instance. I could imagine creating a workflow that would enable me to fill in the Airtable directly by copying text while browsing a web page or looking at any document on a mobile device or computer. It could be I copy first the name, then the phone number, then email, maybe address etc… and the Zapier workflow could fill in Airtable for me. So I just wanted to share… I can’t tell you how it works though because I don’t have a paid premium Zapier account. Paid Zapier account is likely needed to get

I can create a chart app or a pivot table app but I would like to create a chart from a pivot table view. Does not necessarily have to be an ‘app’.

Hi, Almost everything is in the title :). Is it possible to display data from different table in a same chart when there is no link between these tables ? Thanks, Yann

So I have a list of companies and their products. In order to let users add companies and products, I have to have a record for each. Example: Is it possible, in card view, to show only one card per company, but have all that companies products on that card? As opposed to one card for each record? (Having 10 Company A cards with one product on each card). I need random people with the link to be able to add companies and products and the above grid view is the only way I can figure out how to do it with a form. So that it goes from this: To something like this:

Hi, is there a way to add a customized sort to a view? I have 2 fields, start date & end date. Id like to sort by start date if the current date is <= start date, otherwise end date should be used. Is this possible with Airtable? Thanks.

Airtable team, I’m a novice user and have benefitted GREATLY from Airtable. I am currently the only Airtable user in the company and I use it for planning tasks for production in a manufacturing facility. Nobody else sees this calendar, yet. I have reached a point that I need to be able to put the Airtable Calendar View up on display on our factory floor on a 50" 4K monitor, for the rest of the team to view. Especially for when I’m on vacation or otherwise not at the facility. However, it’s imperative that this is a “View/Search Only” access. I don’t want anyone accidentally moving anything, or having access to AirTable using my login credentials. I definitely want them to be able to scroll through the upcoming weeks, and perform searches for various criteria. I just need to be sure that there cannot be any edits made to any of the calendar entries, and no new entries added. How can I do this?

Since 3 weeks we try to connect to typeform tools & the platform is very slow or even not accessible at all. Anybody knows sth about this? Thanks

Is it possible to embed an html code block to the Page Designer? I can’t find a thread about this. Thank you!

If I remember correctly, there’s Chart Apps that show something like heat map instead of regular x y charts. I think I saw it in Github? But can’t find it anymore. Does anyone remember / know? Thanks Daniel

Good morning everyone, I have a question for managing multiple projects. if I set up my space by dividing the tabs by: Projects-Task-Managers-and counting hours, when a project ends, can I “freeze” it and not view it anymore? working with many projects that last one or two months I need to keep track of all my projects but I don’t want to delete the records every time a project ends. I just want to “freeze it”. Thanks in advance for your answers

Is it possible to get people to sign agreements using Airtable?

I have a lookup field giving me three different states: “act”, “belong” and “commit” How can I count how many times “act” is in this lookup field? If I use COUNTALL, I just get the total sum of states in this field. How can I just count just “act”? Regards, Tor Martin

I’m importing data from a CSV with a nested appearance like this: Food Group Food Fruit bananas apples oranges Veg kale squash Cauliflower I need to flatten the nesting to look like this: Food Group Food Fruit bananas Fruit apples Fruit oranges Veg kale Veg squash Veg Cauliflower Presently I’m using a complicated formula in Google Sheets before importing. Can this be done in Airtable instead? Thanks very much

Hi, Has anyone successfully used the ‘flatten’ transformation described here: Vega-Lite Flatten Vega-Lite - a high-level grammar for statistical graphics. Vega-Lite provides a higher-level grammar for visual analysis, comparable to ggplot or Tableau, that generates complete Vega specifications. Vega-Lite specifications consist of simple... to transform array data that’s in an Airtable field? I’m trying to transform some data without having to specify the field names ahead of time, so I’m wondering if I can somehow represent it as an array. This is a bit of a kludge, because there isn’t an ‘array’ datatype in Airtable (AFAIK). I suspect I might have to manually specify the format somehow, because just putting it in a text field like this: [1,2,3] doesn’t seem to produce the results you might expect.

Hello everyone! Right now I need to create a CRM system for an organization I work with. The point is that each project has several statuses (e.g. order received, pending order, editing etc.). The part I stucked at is that each part has two dates linked to it - planned date of delivery and actual date of delivery (to control the timing of each stage). Could you please advise how to provide the most optimal solution in Airtable, thanks!

Hi, Has anyone used the URL property described here: Vega-Lite Data Vega-Lite - a high-level grammar for statistical graphics. Vega-Lite provides a higher-level grammar for visual analysis, comparable to ggplot or Tableau, that generates complete Vega specifications. Vega-Lite specifications consist of simple... to load data from an external (public) URL into a Vega Lite specification within the Airtable app? This is the kind of syntax that works externally in the Vega Lite editor: "data": {"url": "https://vega.github.io/vega-datasets/data/unemployment-across-industries.json"} I’d like to include some external annotation data in a chart (and join it using a lookup, which also works OK in the Vega Lite editor), but I’m having trouble getting it working. I know the Vega Lite block binds the table data at runtime, but I’m not quite sure whether it’s able to make external requests or not. It doesn’t throw an error when I do it,

I know how to prefill a form via HTTP GET queries… But is it possible to prefill a form via HTTP POST fields instead so that the prefill data I’m submitting isn’t put into DNS logs or seen by MITM?

Hi, Im using Integromat to create new records in one of my tables. In this process I also provide a dropbox link to “upload” an image to airtable. The .png is added as attachment but the preview of it is never available. If I reupload the same .png file manually the preview works. There are some older threads here about temporary problems with certain airtable services that led to bugs with previews. Is this still a common problem? Is there a work around to fix the automatic image upload? Does it has something todo with the duration of the validity of the provided url to the image (e.g. a preview service revisiting the link later to generate the preview or sth.)?

Hello all. May I check if the following is possible with Airtable and in-built Automation. Trying to use a Main table input to create a new record into a new table. However it will be created in a “selected” existing table base on Input field condition. E.g. IF “Group1” THEN Create at Table1, IF “Group2” THEN Create at Table2 I asked the same question to support and they suggested Script approach as below. " While our create record action is set to a specific table (making what you’re trying to do impossible for a single automation), you might be able to do what you’re looking to by building a rather complex [Run a script Action]. This is an advanced corner of Airtable – you’ll need knowledge of JavaScript to be successful here." If this is true, was wondering what Script resource is needed to accomplish this.

Hello everyone, I have been using airtable for a while now, to collect data about certain objects in a base with grid-view. Each line represents one object and I have different rows, characterizing the objects in different dimensions. Most of the rows are “multiple select” options with a max of 25 options which are freely combinable. So basically I have a base with around 120 instances and each instance is characterized in different dimensions. My interest now is to find clusters in a certain dimension which means I want to learn which options in a dimension have often been selected together. Is there a way of getting this done in airtable? The standard “group by” feature is working for dimensions (rows) where not many options are selectable but for dimension with more options it does not work in a sufficient way. I have difficulties in finding out if there is an app which could support my intentions. Also i have a free plan for now and can not just test around with different apps. Doe

Hello, I have a table containing close to 500 records. I am trying to set up chart apps to analyze various attributes of the data. When I install the app and fill out the settings, nothing displays, just a blank, white screen where the graph should be. I figure this might be due to the volume of records? Do charts or apps in general break when record volume exceeds a certain quantity? Has anyone else ran into this issue? Thanks!

Hi all, New to airtable so need a little bit of advice. I have set up a form on my website to collect data and sent it back to airtable. Issue I am having is that I am trying to work out how to move data based in a row to another record with matching text. So for example if I had a student enquiring about ‘Science for Beginners’ and another for ‘Advanced Maths’ I would like to add them to the relevant sheet under that course group. Is this possible to set up automatically with zapier etc? Look forward to hearing from you. Regards, Mark
