Mabye this is an easy one for you Airtable gurus. I am currently creating a more or less complex ToDo list and want to create a field which calculates the difference between Estimate and ACTUAL use of time. Does anyone know a simple trick or formula to solve this? Many thanks in advance !

I’m looking for a little help with the Gantt App. In each task, I’m tracking resources’ pay rate, bill rate, hours and expenses. I’ve got summary apps to show total payable to contractors (say $5000) and total billable to client (say $10k). I want to get an app that’s going to calculate margin for me. Any advice?

Hi everyone, I’m looking to see if there’s a way to change the apps that display based on the table I’m in or the view I’m in? Right now, I can change tables but the apps remain. Is this possible?

I’m using the Button field type, then using the Open URL action to open an external document link (that URL is in a separate hidden field). Works great, however on iOS app, this button slides the record detail window from the right side, versus actually opening the link. On my MacBook Air and Safari, the button opens the document immediately. This extra step is annoying and unnecessary, and even the URL field does the same thing; that is, you touch to open the link, and it slides the record detail pane (pain) from the right. Any suggestions or is this just how it works on iOS?

Hi y’all, I just deleted a Base and replaced it with a snapshot. I wanted to see the recently deleted base to make sure that the snapshot includes all the data that was done in the time between the snapshot and deleting the original. Unfortunately, the deleted base is not showing up in the trash. I deleted other bases and they show up and can be restored. Anyone know why this particular base wouldn’t be showing up in the trash?

I’m expecting this group of records to be sorted in the opposite direction. It doesn’t seem like it’s sorting by the entire string since “.5” is before “.25” and “.75” is after “.25” Is there a way to correct this?

Hello guys! I’m trying to create an operation report, in checklist format, which has steps filled in on different days throughout the week. Is it possible to start filling out the form on a certain day, close it and reopen it at another time continuing from where we left off, without doubling the record and losing the information? Thank you! Daniel

I can load our databases lightening fast as owner… however, people that have COLLABORATOR access to the same base CANNOT even load the records today. I facetimed with a coworker and the records spin and spin and give her a reconnecting message on and off as well as a “saving” function at the top. She CANNOT aaccess data… it’s not loading. It’s a big base, but this is a new (but concerning) problem. Anyone else encountering this?

Hey community, We’re having issues with “some” of our page designer blocks. When we create an output PDF from the block, some of the URL links are clickable, while from other blocks the links are not clickable. Also of note, ALL used links used to be clickable but then about 2 weeks ago we started experiencing issues. I’ve recorded a little video showing the issue. I hope someone can help. We were just starting to get into the groove of our new system. Page Designer URLs Clickable Issue

I put together a shared view and it has a sort configuration, but I’m noticing that the sort configuration is absent from the actual shared view. I don’t want end users who I’m sharing the view to do anything. It should be sorted per the sort configuration. What am I missing?

Some context: I’m trying to create a massive list of Payment Processing companies to embed on my website. Customers will then be able to search based on whatever criteria they want. As you can see from the screenshots, I have put the logo near the left of my Airtable Base. However, after I embed the code into my website, the logo appears all the way on the right hand side. How can I organize the columns so that the logo appears on the left hand side?

Hi everyone! I was wondering if there would be a way to create a count of how many times information is copied from a particular field? Just so I can keep count of how effective particular information is. Thanks!

Hello Step 1 : I want to create a database of all startups in Belgium. I will call all startups myself, ask them questions, and register the answers manually in my airtabel database. This, I know how to do myself. Step 2 : I want to get a website developed ( preferably in laravel ), that must publish all startups, using ( extracting ) the data from the airtable. So visitors of the website can see all startups, and use filters on the website to search, filter, save etc…the startupdata they search for. My question : can this be done ? And if yes, how to connect airtable with an extarnal website ? Is this difficult ? Costly ? Or can I use airtable itself to get this done ? Thanks for helping me out ! Ivan

We’ve had several mysterious changed to fields, rather than record, recently in a few of our bases. I cannot see any way to check the revision history of a field. Am I missing something? If not, how/where are we meant to leave requests for new features? Thanks

I’d like to have an auto-created “Today Date” when a record is checked in my “Response” checkbox. So every time a new customer responds, I’d like to have the received date created when I simply check the “Response” checkbox. I can’t figure out the formula. Thanks

Hi there, I was hoping to get some information and answers to a few questions I have. Is there a way to have one central database that has tags that link to other bases. Basically this is for people who need to be in different categories/bases but we want them to all be in one central base as well. (ie : Funder, connector, master list, etc.) Is there a way to flag certain entries to send an alert to a team member when that entry has been added/updated? Is there an integration for flipcause and airtable? How do we get notifications in the project tracker? Is it possible to color code tasks in the project tracker? what does the paid version do that the free plan doesn’t? Thank you!!!

Hello there :wave: I have a slight issue, where I’m using slack bot to populate a message coming from a filled form in Airtable. When receiving that form in Airtable, I’m using an automation to populate that message directly in slack. The problem : The issue is coming from attached files (pictures essentially) in the form. I cannot load the images thumbnail in the slack message. Did some of you face the same issue ? Thanks a lot for your help :pray:

I am a Learning Design Coach for a virtual school and we use forms in AT to schedule our live lessons. Is there any way to have forms duplicate so for teachers who host live lessons every Wednesday (for example) can enter one form and have it repeat every Wednesday? Thank you very much!

Hello, HELP!!! We can’t use zapier on our base in airtable because they say we have too many records. I have contacted you several times with no answer, we need to be able to have more records on certain of our bases. Please answer!!! Thanks in advance. Best regards, Mathieu Cressy

I would really like a ‘Hill Chart’ app to be supported. To learn more about hill charts, see here. The implementation could be simple - a table with a numeric scale of 1-100 (or 0-1) and a date. Each entry in the table results in a plot on the app at the relative location on the hill with date annotated.
