I created a view to use for a Pivot Table, and I’ve chosen that view in the Pivot Table settings. For some reason the Pivot Table is pulling ALL the information from the main table, not just the information from the view I’ve chosen. What am I doing wrong?

Anyone else noticing that the “date” field in forms isn’t working? Did I accidentally click something I shouldn’t have? This is happening across multiple bases, in multiple form views. I am able to add a date to the field in the actual record in Airtable, and am able to add a date as a test in the form view in Airtable … but when I go to the live form, the date field doesn’t function. I select a date, and it doesn’t populate.

For some reason the date field will not allow me to select or add a date? Any idea why?

@Justin_Barrett In this situation we are using form stack documents to autofill the forms and we want to be able to have the date be automatically synced when checked and I tired the IF formula but it does not seem to work. Any ideas on this problem?

Hi everyone, I’m creating a script that can be used in conjunction with the Gantt App. Each record has a duration and a pre-defined antecedent or “Preceding Step”. Sometimes, a given record has more than one antecedent, and this is where I’m having an issue in my code. I used recursion to capture all the “children” of a given task, thus connecting them on timeline. Their start and end dates link up, while any other set of tasks could be independent. Here is where I’m stuck: Where the code says “if(!startdate)”, the whole point is to not re-fill in a date with a second antecedent if the date is already complete. (If I can get this to work, I would compare the dates of the two antecedents and use the later one, thus having this new task begin when the latest of its multiple antecedents is completed.) But the IF appears to be letting everything through! Even more strangely, if I run the script once, and the dates are all full, then run it again, the IF statement does work as expected, and

Hello, i need help with integrating with asana. I have set it up using integromat successfully to update a task, mark it as complete/incomplete or create a new task.

I need help with the filter specifically how could integromat recognize the task that should be deleted. Kindly guide.

Hello, I am looking to create a script triggered when a condition is met that opens a static URL and Clicks a Button - or any process that would accomplish the same. My Problem I am using Stacker as for my web-app and Airtable (AT) as my DB. When a field is updated in Stacker, the data is being sent to AT, triggering an AT automation that updates other fields within the same record however, AT is sending a RESULT back to Stacker before the AT Automation is complete. This means the data being displayed to my users is inaccurate and the app not usuable unless I find a workaround. I have contacted Stacker, but they are not able to provide a solution - so, I’m now asking here. My Solution Have a script triggered using a field affected by the automation that opens the Airtable update page in Stacker and presses the “Start Update” button. While this would require my users to refresh the page to see the updated info, its the best solution I can come up with until I can move away from Stacker.

Hi everyone, I’m having a lot of trouble setting up a Zapier-Gmail-Airtable integration. Basically, I want to be able to do the following: Create a PDF of an email that is sent to a holder Gmail account (will only receive the emails that I want and forward to the account); Find a record in Airtable that matches on email or sender’s name Update the record in Airtable I was wondering if anyone has done this particular setup before or otherwise has experience with using Zapier to PDF an email (this is where I am struggling the most). Any help/suggestions would be much appreciated!

Hi, We have a base set up where we track our agents appraisals, listings, sold properties etc. The appraisals tab is currently set to be viewed by everyone however I need to hide it from everyone that has read only access so only administration (editor and above) can see the tab/views. Is there a way we can do this? I can’t remove the agents as we have automations running where I require them to have access to the base and I can’t remove the tab completely from the base because that then affects our agent dashboards in apps. Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you, Sarah

Date Field in Forms is not inputting any values. Please Heeeeeelp!!! My company is losing orders!!!

I can see there are some threads on this. But where is it up too? Is it possible to limit the records a user can see. I work with a number of contractors. When I allocate a project to them it would be good if I could give them access to airtable but limit the records they can see. Ideally when I select the contractor in a field they get access to that record. Is this possible?

I am not able to select a date in the first field on this form: End of Day Report. I have never had issues before and have been using the form for awhile. The issue is only in form view. When I go to grid view, I have no problem inputting data. Any ideas?

I currently have a date as the intitial column in my form. I then have a separate column in which I have been hand entering the previous records date in order to have a third column with a formula to figure out the number of days between those two dates. Is there any way to have this done automatically without me having to hand ender the previous record date.

i have a date field which works ok - except that for no apparent reason it won’t save 4/7/2013. i have tried entering other days in July 2013 using the date picker but nothing. it will save today’s date. On another record (on the same view) the date field is working as it should. Any suggestions?
