How do I achieve this metric/ analytics ?

Hello all, I’m a total newbie and looking for a solution for tracking the progress of our swim school’s students. We have 10 levels, each with about 10 skills that students work on concurrently throughout the term. I need to be able to link a given student to one of our 10 levels, and to the teacher giving that student their lessons. Ideally, only the teacher of that student should be able to make changes to the student progress. They would do this by changing the % grade for each skill in the student’s level. So, I guess I upload the 10 levels, and the 10 skills per level. I upload a list of students showing what level they are working on, and who is their teacher. Is there a way to: a) keep track of past progress - ie, not just show that a student is now on 88%, but that last week he was on 74%, 66% the week before, etc? b) automate a change to a student being graded on a higher level, once a set percentage has been reached by the student in all the skills in that level? c) automate

Hello! I have a table (Table 1) that came as part of the template for my base. I duplicated that table (Table 2) and am now using that. Whenever I return to Airtable for the day, it opens with Table 1, and I’d like it to open to Table 2 so I don’t accidentally start working on Table 2. Does that make sense? Is there a way to make Table 2 primary? Thanks!

Hi! A bit surprised I haven’t been able to find an answer for this, or figure it out myself. I have a table that has duplicate values in one column. I want to return all unique values from that column into a new column in a different table within the same base. Ideally, I’d like the column in the new table to be the Name column. How can I do this? Thanks!

Is it possible to reference button fields in page designer views?

I am working on creating a scoring app that allows multiple teams to participate at the same time and have several attempts at each challenge. How can I get a team’s different score submissions entered into their respective row? Scores would be entered at different times throughout the day through a form. Example: Team A: Challenge 1: 1st Score 100 2nd score 110 3rd score 105 Team B Challenge 1: 1st Score 100 2nd score 180 Team C: Challenge 1: 1st Score 100 2nd score 110 3rd score 105 I would like for the rows to be set up as follows: Challenge Team 1st score 2nd Score 3rd Score 1 A 100 110 105 1 B 100 180 1 C 100 110 105

Hey everyone, I am trying to add our product managers into Airtable and they would like to have a project schedule with the Gantt chart that also has dependents on the previous steps. My issue is they want to change the duration column from 10 to 8 for instance and the dates would automatically change. I’m assuming the start date is set but the end date is what needs to be updated. Any tips on how to make this happen?

Hi team, I’m loving Airtable but have a couple of questions: Print View - is it possible to remove all the outside boarders and URLs, and just have the content in the PDF? Second question - the page designer block, is it possible to have more than one record per page? I want to use it to create a price sheet for our products, but having only 1 record per page means I need to have a page per product.

How do I add data (a table with data from Excel) to a table within Airtable? !

Hello - I’m having trouble with IF and CONCATENATION formulas Here is what I’m trying to achieve: Concatenate “SUB SKU” - “PRODUCT NAME” If “SUB SKU” = Blank, concatenate “Parent SKU” - “PRODUCT NAME” I tried it this way but it’s not working. IF({SUB SKU}, CONCATENATE({Sub Sku},” – “,{Product Name}),IF({SUB SKU}=BLANK(),{Parent SKU},” – “,{Product Name}) Appreciate any help. Thanks!

When I do Group by field X from A to Z, there is one record at the top that is not in alphabetical order based on that field, then the rest are fine. Any ideas why this is happening or how to fix? Thanks!

I have an Airtable set up that lists jobs and job links to external sites. The table is embedded on my website, and when I do an inspect and click on the button link - I see the class field clearly and the value data-button-field-button=“true”, but I’m at a loss on how to track that button click. Any help or insight would be so very much appreciated! Thank you!

I’m new here and our non-profit started using Airtable for managing media, and doing simple survey forms. How can I format bold, italic, underline form field names and the text boxes before the data field in the form builder - I don’t seem any option to do this. Help appreciated.

Hi All: This is incredibly simple I think but want to verify. In my view, I’m just filtering out the entries that older. I’m using Created Time and when I choose any of the preset options (one day ago, one week ago, etc.), it all works fine. When I enter in a specific number of days though, nothing will appear in the view (but should). When using a specific number of days ago for a filter based on created time, do I need to have a separate calculation for day count and base the filter off of that?

Hi, I’m wondering if someone can help me to automate something in my airtable base. I’m fairly new to scripting so not too sure how to do this. We have a base that we use for project management. The base has three tables - Projects, Tasks, Task templates. Each record in “Projects” can link to multiple records in “Tasks”. Each record in “Tasks” can only link to one record in “Projects”. Currently we have a set of template records in “Task Templates” that manually get copied across to “Tasks” and then linked to a record in “Projects”. The records in the “Task templates” have a number of fields that are already populated with standard content. I want to create a form or a script to copy a selection of records from “tasks templates”, link these to a record in the table “Projects” and paste these in to the table “tasks”. For each different record in “Projects” we can have a different selection of “Tasks” (i.e. there isn’t a standard selection of tasks for each project). I would really appre

Hi, In one base I have the following: One table that lists my clients (Current Clients) One table that lists the client orders with cost per order (the Current Clients tallies the amount of units ordered but NOT cost) One table the tallies cost per client (total and per month). I need table 3 to tally the costs. I’m not sure how to do that. I’m a long-time Google Sheets users, but that experience isn’t helping here. I know I can tally cost in table 1, but I want a separate table to tally cost. Thanks.

Looking to hopefully figure out a (simple) way to send out automated approval request emails and collect the response back to the base. I know it can be done with typeform for example, but hoping maybe some of the new apps/automations could handle it all within airtable? For example, put in a purchase request and check the box for “ready for approval” that sends an email to the manager or managers and within that email ideally is a button/hyperlink that they can just click on that says approve or deny, which then updates the record with an approval or denial straight for the email (and subsequently sends a notification to whomever made the request). Is this doable without third party integrations at this time?

Have not (I don’t think) been able to find something that fits the bill here yet. I am trying to build (have mostly built) a base for our construction project to handle purchase orders. My base currently has 7 tables (Inventory List, POs, PO Details, Shipments, Shipment Details, Delivery Details, and Vendors). The idea/workflow is as follows: Go into the PO table and create a new purchase order with a unique number (hard-keying now but would like to switch to auto-numbering in the future) (say from home depot for lumber) Go into the PO details table and start creating detail lines in the PO (IE if I was buying lumber from home depot, I could add a line for 2x4s, a line for 1/2" 4x8 plywood, a line for 8’ 4x4s, etc). The detail description is a linked record to the Inventory table so if it is something I have bought before or buy regularly, I can just pull that up. If it is something new, it gets added to the inventory table. In the PO Details table, link each detail line to the approp

Hello everyone. I’m a Navy Career Counselor. I am basically working as a Human Resource Manager. I have a base that tracks various data points which include contract end dates, rotation dates, etc. I have 10 tables on one base. The first tab is the Main tab which serves as an Alpha Roster and is the link to all other tabs. My conundrum with automations is that when I want to update a contract end date on my Loss table I also need that same contract end date updated on every other table for the same person but I can’t get the correct formulation and automation to run (test fails every time). Can someone please reach out or help me? I must admit that I do not know or understand code and scripting. I’m sure with the requisite time for study I could do it but this base is live and I need to automate now. Thank you in advance for your help. Christopher

I understand a URL-designated field can only hold a single URL. Thus, my query. Some of my fields need to contain a URL plus explanatory text, or multiple URLs. For that reason, I set that field as “Long Text,” then use rich text to embed a URL behind the website name. Ex: Visible text reads “ScotlandsPeople,” but the lengthy embedded URL points to a specific page on the SP website. When using Airtable on the laptop, clicking one of these embedded links opens a new browser tab, to the desired page. On the mobile app, however, the front-facing text (that has the embedded link behind it) appears and behaves as just text. Not blue with an underscore. No embedded link. No fly-open icon to click. Just dead text. Am I missing something? Seems if the rich text option exists to embed a full URL behind text in the desktop version of Airtable, it ought to work in the mobile version too. Hmmmm.

Hi all I have a base for managing casual employees’ hours worked. Employees submit hours via a form and payroll uses the entries to pay wages. Payroll would like to see only the records for the relevant payroll period: 16 May - 19 May and every two week period thereafter. Is there any way to filter by these rolling fortnightly periods? Thanks! Travis Further notes: I found that I could get fortnightly periods using the week numbers: ROUND(WEEKNUM(Date)/2) The trouble is that the payroll period is not exactly in sync with the week numbers… Maybe there could be a way to shift the period?

Dedupe seems like a good product, but I must be doing something wrong. I have a TON of duplicates in my table. First name is Dan/Daniel, Greg/Gregory, Joe/Joeseph, Rob/Robert, etc… Last names are identical and so is all of the other information. Dedupe isn’t recognizing ANY of them. Am I doing something wrong in the settings? Or what am I supposed to do to help recognize these duplicates

I have four fields: Unix Timestamp - a single line text field that contains the unix timestamp Date & Time - a formula field that converts the unix timestamp into a readable date and time using the following formula: DATEADD(‘1/1/1970’,{Unix Timestamp},‘seconds’) Date - where I wish to extract just the date from the Date & Time field Time - where I wish to extract just the time from the Date & Time field How do I get numbers 3 and 4 to work?

I had the pleasure of using the Dedupe App the other night on a huge client project that involved 3,500 duplicates with mismatched data. Not just pairs of duplicates, but sometimes groups of 2, 3, or 4 duplicates. And not IDENTICAL duplicates, but duplicates that might or might not have different field information from one another. I was really dreading the project, but it turned out incredibly well because the Dedupe App is absolutely perfectly designed!! The Dedupe App is EXTREMELY well-designed, EXTREMELY intuitive, EXTREMELY powerful, and it has ALL THE OPTIONS that you could ever dream of in a Dedupe App! For example: You can match on any number of fields that you’d like. You have the option to hide matching fields (i.e. fields where the data is 100% the same across multiple records), so you can instantly tell at-a-glance if you can safely merge multiple records. It lets you REMOVE records from a set of 3 or more duplicates, so you can just merge the records that you want to
