I’m building a base to track financial pledges, which will be paid over time, for our charity’s capital campaign. Have donors in one table, pledges (and payments) in another, and can use Rollup to calculate remaining balance for a pledge, but would also like to build a forecast that shows when pledge payments are expected. Some pledge payments are made monthly, some are quarterly, some are annual, and all (for the most part) have a specific end date. Anyone have a good example of how they’ve accomplished this, or ideas about how to create a forecast like that?

Hey everyone, So I have a table that runs off a daily manual .csv import from Jira. The primary ISSUES table is where I import the daily .csv into. There is a field on that table called “Log Work” where a string of time-tracking information is logged. The string looks like this: time-tracking;08/Feb/21 8:46 AM;addon_is.origo.jira.tempo-plugin;9000 I have this field set up as a linked field to the LOG WORK table. The behavior that I would like is as follows: Import .csv → populate Log Work field → this creates / updates LOG WORK table with entires The problem is, when the import takes place, instead of creating one record for the string, the Linked Field cuts up the string into several pieces, so it looks more like this (brackets indicate a separate record) [time-tracking] [08/Feb/21 6:29 AM] [addon_is.origo.jira.tempo-plugin] [3600] It creates these four records rather than one record. I believe this has to do with the semi-color separator, but I don’t know how to prevent this beha

Hey there. I wrote a basic IF statement that checks content of some records. This was the IF Statement IF(A,A,IF(B,B,C)). Now I need something a little more complex, I need to check if variable A is an email address. I am thinking something along the lines of IF(FIND(’@’,A),“Hyperlink to A”,IF(B,B,C)). So I was wondering if this is getting to complex for the formulas of Airtable and I might just need to run a script that checks for the email if it is then sends the user to a place that creates and email for them to fill.

Using AirTable we have created a library of several hundred resources on a certain topic which we want to share on a website. The AirTable read-only link works perfectly on a computer, bringing up the whole library and then allowing viewers to search, sort, filter, download, and view a full record according to their needs. However on a mobile device, people can see all the library entries, and tapping each brings up each the full record, but I was not able to figure out how to activate the sort, filter and search functions. Can anyone help?

I am trying to use the Airtable software to organize files. I want to utilize the Status method in the category, along with location and automation. However, I don’t want to manually continue clicking just as I find another 300th file. Is there a way to automatically change the status of the categories without manually individually selecting it’s options?

Hi Airtable community! I am trying to collect ideas from people. Currently, I have a form embedded on a website and a gallery view of the responses embedded below. Some users said that instead of filling out a new form to add a new idea, they’d like to respond to an idea submitted by someone else that they can see in the gallery. What airtable features or apps might allow this functionality? Ideally, there would be a conversation thread. Thank you!

Shortcuts to switch between views/bases/tables is potentially a great productivity boost! When using a shortcut after successfully switching to the desired location, the keyboard does not automatically focus itself on any of the records. Is there any way to focus on any of the records using the keyboard? One way is to create a new record and then delete it using Keyboards shortcuts. However, this is cumbersome.

Hello Folks, The batch feature here works perfect and it creates 50 records in milliseconds and goes on till it finishes the total number of episodes ( EPS ), I have a tiny issue with the numerical calculation, it doesn’t work well with pattern adds to the date So if you run this batch script to add 7 days to each date the result is not accurate const importTable = base.getTable(“Titles”); const importQuery = await importTable.selectRecordsAsync(); const episodesscheduletable = base.getTable(‘Episodes Schedule’); const episodesScheduleQuery = await episodesscheduletable.selectRecordsAsync() const episodesScheduleNames = episodesScheduleQuery.records.map(x => x.name) let contactsToMake = ; for (let record of importQuery.records) { let myDate = new Date(); let RowsToCreate=0; RowsToCreate= record.getCellValue(‘EPS’) ; myDate = new Date(record.getCellValue(‘Release Date’)); ``` while (RowsToCreate>0) { myDate.setDate(myDate.getDate() + 7); await episodesscheduletable

Hello! I am trying to upload images through the Airtable API. I store the images on a server, so that i can provide the link that the attatchement object requires. But for some reason, airtable rotates my images when displayed. I rotate them programatically through the PIL package - and when i visit the photo link in the browser (hosted on my server), the photos are correctly displayed - but in airtable they are not. When i use the uploader dialogue on airtable, they are displayed correctly (when i give the SAME link). Anybody else experienced this problem? IN AIRTABLE: IN BROWSER:

I just created a new Base to use as a CRM. Whenever I try to save a date (in any field) I’m met with “An error has occurred - sorry, your request conflicted with another change”. I’m not sure what that change is or how to fix it. Please help!

I’m trying to write a formula that will automatically populate this field with an email address based on the name entered in another field so I don’t have to manually type the address each time I create a record. I’ve used the Switch formula and assigned an address for each of 4 names, however, sometimes there are multiple names in that original field. How do I write the formula to populate each email address for each name in that “Assigned To” field in my table? Right now, if there is anything but an individual name in that field I have it defaulting to send to me, but I don’t want to have to keep forwarding to the appropriate people in the automation I created linked to that email address field.

Hello :slightly_smiling_face: I am creating an automation with the condition: when there’s a gcal event created, an email will be sent to my team (30 people). For example: I set the gcal event on 5th, recurring every month. So if today is 5th of March, an email will be send automatically to every email address listed on airtable record (in records grouped as ‘active employee’). Is that possible? Looking forward for your help, thankyou!

I’m new to Airtable, but have extensive experience in SQL databases. I could do something like the following in Access, but I want to make this database cloud native. Any assistance would be appreciated. I’m working with a consulting firm that has ~50 consultants who relate to one or more legal affiliates of the firm through independent contractor agreements (ICA). Each ICA formally connects one of our legal affiliates with an “external entity” (an LLC, a sole proprietorship, etc.) to which a consultant belongs. Each consultant may have one or more external entities that they are themselves connected to. I have built my base like this: I want to be able to create a Consultant view (ideally a card/grid-view) that would show me the consultant’s information and a list of all the agreements that are related to him/her through the external entity table. However, I can only figure out how to display data that is from the directly related table “Consultant/Entity Relationships”.

I have an Airtable questionnaire form for students to determine a possible career fields. I’d like to make this more efficient by listing categories, then subcategories. For example: Trades - carpentry, plumbing, electrical etc. Right now, I list each item in the multiple select field, but that doesn’t support subcategories. Are there other options? Thanks! Sharon

HI all - First time on this asking for advice, hoping I’m doing this correctly! I’m creating a database for crew members doing Covid testing schedules for a movie production coming up. I for some reason can’t wrap my head around how to set this up so that it’s great in Airtable. Situation: Tons of crew members in various “Zones”. Depending on which Zone they’re in sets how many times they test. For example Crew person 1 is in Zone A and gets tested 3 times a week. Crew Person 2 in Zone B gets tested 1 time a week and Crew in Zone C get tested every 2 weeks. Trying to figure out how I can have the testing dates set up in a table and then when I put a zone A/B/C that person gets populated into the correct testing dates (ie: Zone A person gets put into every testing date, Zone B gets put into weekly testing date and Zone C into every other week testing date). So I was hoping to have one table be grouped into all the testing dates for Feb (ie 2/10, 2/12, 2/15, 2/17, 2/19, etc). Then in

Hi guys, We have multiple servers with remote desktop access, and we’re using them on a daily basis. The current solution is a sheet with the server IP, username, and password. As you can imagine, it makes it very difficult and inefficient to search the relevant server, insert its address and credentials, and log in. In order to solve this problem, I’ve started to read and look for a solution. The first and easy-to-implement solution I’ve found is to create an “RDP” (Remote Desktop Protocol) file, with the relevant credentials - and connect directly to the server without the need of adding credentials each time. Still, from what I’ve seen - you can’t create a hyperlink to this file, either locally or on the web. So, I’m looking for a creative way to add a column to my table with a direct link to each server. The ideal is that a user clicks on the link, and the session opens and logs in automatically, but we’ll be more than satisfied also with a simple link to open the login page and th

Look to me like the entire airtable is down. Do we know when this will be fixed? Thanks

Hello Desperately needing help. I realize there is an article about this here: Automate changing the file name of an attachment Ask the community Hey Airtable Community. I need help with automating the repetitive task of manually changing the name of a file after it’s been uploaded into my base. As of right now, we have a user filling out a form, and after it’s submitted, I want that to trigger the name changing.
