I’m trying create an externally facing site that does two things: Allow site visitors to input data into a form (I think this can be done with Airtable Forms) Once a visitor fills out the form, I want them to be able to search my database of records (I don’t want them to see the entire database, just their search result) Is there a way to do this?

Hi, Here is what I would like to do. I have a table T. This table has 3 views: TV1, TV2 and TV3. I know I can share publicly any of these views. But what I would like to share TV2 (and TV2 only) with joe@email.com. That means Joe needs an airtable account to access TV2. Is it possible? Thank you.

We need to be able to create a form that updates certain fields in a given record - not overwriting what is already in there, but adding to it. It appears that this cannot be done within Airtable but I hope I am wrong (or that there’s a simple add-on that can help). The adding-to aspect of this is vital for our purposes though. Can anyone help?

Hi, I’m new to Airtable. I want to create a form which has some fields prepopulated. The value in this field will change every day. eg. Initial stock is 28000. 22000 is current stock which is prepopulated to one field on form. 500 are sold. When form is next opened 21500 should appear. Is this possible? Can form pull values from linked base? Can an airtable form do calculations within the form? eg. 500 sold, 200 given away, 200 written off. 900 to appear in a different field and 900/22000*100% to appear in another field. Does anyone know of form options which will do the above? Formfacade with formranger addon seems closest solution but not really what I’m looking for. Conor.

Hallo I have created a field which is linked to another table and it all works well. Question is can I control HOW MANY show up in the small pop-up table from which I am picking th records? By now I have a title + 4 fields for every record. Can I simply have a title and maybe 2 field showing more content ? See below link with example: _https://dl.airtable.com/.attachmentThumbnails/66203571efb33d02293d4ead6d08b4de/605b6dfb Thanks Luca

Hi, I’m passing file uploads (jpg and pdf) from a Webflow form and would like to deposit the attachments into Airtable through Zapier. These attachments should then be zapped over back to Webflow to create a new CMS item. I’m having trouble bringing the files over from the initial webflow form upload over to the airtable database. They only want to show up as URLs but not actual attachment. Is there a reason for this? I’ve seen an app for this come up time and time again in my search (miniextensions), but I don’t want to pay $39/mo for it just yet. I have also tried creating an automation, but it doesn’t seem to work. The image starts getting uploaded but it disappears after a second— Is there an app I can integrate as a step in my Zapier process? Thanks!

Hello all, I created a second base where I use a synced table from the source base. This synced table had some percent fields that seemingly switched to some other type of value (looking same but it is not standing on the right side in the box but in the left side - similar as text does). Now I cannot do any calculations with this synced percent value anymore. Result is always #ERROR!, even when I try to use the “value()” command. What am I doing wrong? Source Base Table: Target base table, type has changed already: Then I cannot do any calculation with these values :’( How can I fix this?

Hello, i am working on a look-up for a 2 dimensional matrix. A little bit of context for my problem: I am trying to find a value based on two different (numerical) inputs: mileage of a car and operational time. I have already implemented the matrix and a junction table in the style of this base, which was posted on a quite simmiliar topic ([Probability matrix value driven by two "single-select" fields / nested-ifs / multi-variate lookup]) before: [[https://airtable.com/shr2THQFtsbPF8Bdz/tbl7Jhxg5UWlfGzgv/viwkkudWdLBdVdPqC?blocks=hide]] My roll-up formula in my “opportunities” table is using a combination of MID(), LEN() and FIND() formulas, in order to return the assoicated percentage. However, i have encountered several problems: The fields which are to be looked have a range of different lengths (e.g. -0.01, 0.14), so that the MID() formula doesnt work as the different values do not have the same length The Rollup formula in my “Opportunities” table is not returning a percentage but

I would like to share a base with a customer (A chain store) and grant him access as an editor. I want him to be able to edit content of fields but not to add or delete fields. The problem is that he can continue sharing this base with other people and grant them Editor privileges as well. Is there a way to share a view or a base so that the user I share it with won’t be able to continue sharing it?

Hey everyone! I’m looking to provide users of my website an easy way to search the content of my airtable. I figured the Search app would do the trick. It works well - but I can’t determine if there is a way to embed the Search App into my website, similar to how you can embed your airtable view into your website using an iframe. Anyone know of if this is possible or how I might accomplish this? Any help is appreciated!

I am working in Airtable for the first time and it automatically added a free trial of the pro functionality onto my account. One of the reasons I want to use airtable is the search function that I have installed on my base dashboard. Is this a premium function? Will I lose it at the end of my free trial? I don’t want to put all the work into inserting a huge block of information if the function I want is going to disappear. Can someone advise? Thanks!

Hi, I’m new to Airtable. I am working on a project that will require automatic sorting and grouping of registrants. Below is an example of my problem. An event is created by a host and sets is a limit to the number of participants in a class Users register for an event. On the day of the event, the host verifies attendance, and the classes that exceed the limit must be divided into heats. (this is intended for a competition) How do I do part 3? I envision a way to divide groups that exceed the limit until the groups are below the limit. But, I don’t know the best way to do this. Limit = 5 In attendance = 34 In this example, I am left with 6 heat of 5 and 1 heat of 4. This is good. Limit = 5 In attendance = 36 In this example, I am left with 7 heat of 5 and 1 heat of 1. This is bad. One person in a heat isn’t much of a competition. Aside from the math, I’m not sure that this can be done in Airtable. Any suggestions?

Hey There Community! I’m very quickly learning Airtable thanks to it’s many resources including these forums so I’m hoping somebody will have the answer to what I’m looking for. I am trying to track what I thought seemed like a pretty simple process. And I may have gone a little further than I had planned so here goes: I have an “Order Items” Table with a Status Field, Payment Method, Delivery Method and Due Date. Multiple Records in this field are connected to Records in another Table for “Orders”. Each Recird in “Orders” sometimes contains multiple Order Items. So my goal is to allow There to be a Formula for Order Status in the “Orders” Table that explains the orders process based on a few factors. These Factors Are: The Status of all items that belong to the order, (Single Select, Order Items Table) The Payment Method Chosen, (Single Select, Orders Table) The Delivery Method Chosen, (Single Select, Orders Table) A Checkbox that confirms an order has been Completed (Orders Table) an

Hi, I am a seasoned Filemaker Developer. I am starting a new project where I want to offer a sports facility, they rent out four Sand Courts for BeachVolley, BeachTennis and other sports. In the basics they would have on their site a calendar, open time slots, a registering system… then further on probably links to payments for the reservation. All this in Brazil. My question… would you write this in Airtable… Is there a already made Service that is not too expensive? How do you see a project like that?

I have a larger base (for Airtable), about 30,000 rows and want to change one field with about 60 options to single select, to help prevent human error in the future when adding new items to this base. When I attempt to change this field from short line text to single select, it times out and asks me to refresh the page, and the change is not saved after several attempts. I’ve tried to turn off the “color” feature to make it easier to process, and still no luck. Is there a limit to this feature? What am I missing?

I am wondering if there is a feature in Airtable that would auto create a new row when the last available row in the sheet has data entered in any column other than the auto numbered ID column that I have set in the first column position. For example, Lets say on row 6300 - the first field has the ID number 6300 due to the auto number feature, but there is no data in any of the fields that follow - is there a way that airtable can add record nunber 6301 when data gets entered in any of the fields that follow the 6300 record? Thanks in advance
