Hey Airtable Community! I’m currently trying to create a formula that can show me the highest performing employee at any given time based upon the total revenue produced by said employee. I currently have a Table within my Workspace titled “Employees” where I’m able to sort by the highest-performing employee by using a rollup from my “Customer Orders” Table. However, there is a table called “Clubs” where I want to be able to show the highest-performing employee in a separate field driven by a formula that reads a rollup of Employee-orders. Please refer to the photos below for more context: As you can see, each order placed within the club deposits to the “Clubs” table within the “Customers” linked records, along with a Lookup field showing the name of each employee responsible for each sale. I want to write a formula that counts the number of instances of each employee and finds the MAX string (in this case, “CJ” since he has the most orders for Club #2, and places the name in the fie

Hi! You can see from the screenshots that my export as CSV does some crazy stuff to my records. Ideas on how to fix?

Hello everyone, I’m wondering if someone might know how to help with this. I’m looking to paste a LinkedIn URL into a field in a new record, and have this event trigger an AutoFill for the rest of the cells in that record, sourcing the data from the relevant fields at that URL? Example: Paste URL for User A Source and AutoFill: First Name Last Name Profile Picture About Me Section Phone (If any) eMail (If any) Company(ies) Job Titles etc. Is there any way to create an (automation/integration?) to AutoFill fields with data sourced from these kinds of specific fields on LinkedIn, or any other website? I hope this isn’t too complicated, this takes forever to do manually, ha. Thanks everyone.

I have a base with 2 tables. Table 1 is my “Contracts” table, Table 2 is my “Renewals” table. Both tables contain a field “contract n°” Every time a contract is being renewed an extra record is entered into the “Renewals table” I have now imported my existing data in the 2 tables. I don’t see how I can automatically link the 2 tables. I want to be able to click in table 1 and then get a view of all renewals for that contract only. I have far to much data to individually select records fom table 2 using linked record fields. I’m probably missing out on something?

Good day Airtable community, Is there a limit to how many devices that can be logged into and making changes on a single account? Asking because I saw this topic with no replies, Is there a limit to how many devices can be logged in on a single account? Ask the community Hi, does anyone know if there there a limit to how many devices can be logged in on a single user account? (e.g. Multiple desktops, Smartphone, Tablet etc.) I have a couple of desktop workstations around my office which I want to keep logged in to my airtable. I don’t really want to keep logging in on each different device when I need to use it. Ideally I would like to switch seamlessly between each workstation e.g. create a record using my main computer, then continue working on that record at… and I would like to know the answer as well. Thanks for reading, William

Hi. I’m really enjoying the sync feature that was recently released. I currently have tables from multiple brands’ bases synced to my team’s base. Each sync table has the same 9 fields for uniformity. My ultimate goal is to consolidate the records from each of these sync tables into one table, so that I can assign date-specific tasks to my team. The easy part was getting this data into my table. I used the automation “When a record enters a view -> Create Record.” The hurdle I’m facing is that the synced tables I’m pulling from are getting updated with new publish dates, newly created notes, etc. Is there a way for the records in my table to automatically update when records in a synced table get updated? One thing I tried was another automation: “When a record is updated -> update record,” but I couldn’t figure out what to enter into the mandatory Record ID field. If you haven’t guessed, I’m a newbie to scripting and coding and such, but I am open to any and every suggestion. I

When I create a form is there a way to link it to an already created base? For example I have a CRM base. Many of the client info is already in the base but now I want to add birthday and mailing address? Can I link the form so they can input the info but it populates the already created record?

Hi There! I am trying to figure out how to create a multi-month drip campaign. It would look something like this: #1 I sent a form to a client, who then fills out the form, including with their email address #2 One month later they automatically receive an email from me #3 Two months later they receive another email #4 Two months later they receive another email #4 Three months later they receive one final email I am trying to figure out the easiest way to do this. Curious what people are using that seems to be cleanest? Airtable automations? Zapier? Something else? I am NOT super technical, but LOVE have made Airtable work for me in incredible ways so far!!

Is there a way to have different view settings individual stacks of kanban cards? For example: “Doing” stack needs to show the title, notes, linked project, due date, etc, “Done” stack needs to show the title, linked project and possibly due date. All other info is no longer needed once the item is complete. Anyone know how to achieve this?

Hi, I see similar questions posted and I think seem to be to do joins because it’s more powerful. However, sometimes you want ease over power. Is there any way to display the two records in ONE TABLE: John, Blue & Red [list] Jane, Red & Green [list] as Blue: John Red: John, Jane Green: Jane WITHOUT JOINS? :slightly_smiling_face: Thanks!

Looking for advise/assistance in completing an efficient Integration from AT > GS. Let me start by saying that I know very little about scripting. I have seen some posts about getting AT data into GS, along with some pre-written scripts to do so. Thank you to those who have done so! I have additional steps that ZAP from GS to other GS after the data transfer, so using one of them that I found was over triggering my “future” ZAPs. My Current Setup: *New Record in AT = ZAP new Row to GS. *Multiple views in AT (new to view = Zap specific fields to GS). these are status update views (one for each status) that only pull certain Fields into GS from the ZAP. ie: status change, date, new/old kiosk serial#, contractor. *using ZAP (row=updated - seeing all columns) to then push data from MY GS to customers GS (which *changes weekly :frowning: ) - so simply copy the ZAP and change the parameters to match their new sheet every Friday. What I WANT: *scripting!!! when the AT record is updated (o

Hello, My wife just started using AirTable. As part of her job, her employer wants her to track Testimonials. Currently, the AirTable program has all the Testimonials listed in order, from 1-70. Her employer want her to add-in new Testimonials at the END of the list-- so most recent Testimonials will be the higher numbers in order. However, the program is causing any NEW Testimonials to instead be listed as #1, and then moving the rest of the Testimonials down a number position. Is there any way to adjust the settings to do what she wants? Thank you!

Hi Airtable friends, I am trying to prefill a form using parameters and then submit the form trough parameters in one URL. I am using the form prefill parameters to prefill the form like this. That works (?prefill_Form+example=blabla) Is there a Parameter for Submit? What I am trying to accomplish This will be used in a newsletter. The parameters will tell us who clicked the URL and populate airtable + send a e-mail using zapier. If there is a good alternative for this, that would be great aswell. :slightly_smiling_face:

Syncing a record with automator fails due to insufficient permissions. I’m a creator on the bases, so not sure whats the root cause.

I have a table with the various meetings, each meeting has several items on the agenda. How can I, possibly via page designer, make an overview on one page with all points to be discussed? Met vriendelijke groeten, Geert Dornez

Zapier can help make Airtable do awesome things, but I’m finding it intensely frustrating when developing and refining a new Zap that a backlog of Airtable records can develop that should be candidates for processing by the Zap, but wont be processed at all because they are no longer ‘new’ records in the view. Even if I create a dummy view using same filters, and assign the Zap to process the records in that view it still wont work because the records are already in that dummy view when the zap is assigned. Other problems occur if I assign the zap to the dummy view then update the filters to populate it because there is no initial candidate record to test and validate the Zap. What is the best practice way to manage this? Its driving me mad!

Hey all, I recently added a new base to my Pro Plan utilising the new sync function. I have added barely any information to it, however, it is saying it is over limits. When I check the billing page it looks to be in all below the required maximums. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

I’ve seen some of the templates, such as this one include a popup welcome window that explains the different areas of the base. Can I use a welcome popup in my base? It’s a resource collection, designed to be accessed by lots of non-contributors, usually on a one-time basis but occasionally repeating. Thanks in advance!

I can’t seem to find an answer to this in the forums, likely due to language used. How many people can be editing a live database at once? If we have 40 different views, can 40 people be editing that data live? What is the max?

Hi, everyone! I’m using Airtable as my inventory management app. My idea is when an item gets 0 Stock Quantity - I want it to be removed from an assigned location which is a linked table. From what I understand, I should setup an automation like If record matches condition (If record ID Stock Quantity is = 0) action will be to update the item location. However, I don’t understand the choices on the Field part. What does “Make list of” and “length” means and where is the part here to select the options from the linked table?

Looking to chart a series of data points over time with the following structure. Column A = Week Start Column B-G = data points which are items in numbers/hr that relate to one another and would be helpful to see everything in one graph. Is this possible?? Note: I am aware I could do this in a 3 column base that was structured as follows: Column A = Week Start Column B = Tag to modify data Column C = Data point The problem with this method is the data is no longer human visible as a table and the number of rows would multiple by 6x. I am also not sure how we would automate data entry in this method. Currently we have a system on another sheet that creates the Week Start that fills this sheet and all of the numbers auto fill. That is a necessity, it would not be possible to manually enter this much data specially in this 3 column format.

Hello everyone. I have some questions about airtable. Can I use typescript for automation script? If I define the type of value, it says “‘types’ can only be used in a .ts file.(8010)”. And I can use @ts-ignore for it. Is there any update or change for automation script? I’m using the input variables of automation. const userIdOriginal = context.userId It’s what I used for it but it has been broken from a few days ago. It forced me to change it like so. const userId = context[“userId”] It’s really annoying me and I had to change all code. I’d like to know what happened nowadays. Is there anything similar to serverless functions such as firebase cloud functions? For now, I’m using automation to track and trigger updates but it forces me to distribute codebase and rewrite the same or similar codes. It would boost my works. Sorry for my poor knowledge and English. Any help will be welcomed. Regards. Andrei.

I have an Airtable with sports results. Any athlete can submit results for their performances. An athlete can submit results for the same workout. Workout | Athlete | Result A | Peter | 13:22 B | Peter | 4:32 A | Mary | 13:12 A | Peter | 11:53 I want to embed rankings for each workout on my website. BUT… For each athlete I only want their best result to be included in the rankings. So the ranking for workout A should look like this: Peter 11:53 Mary 13:12 and NOT Peter 11:53 Mary 13:12 Peter 13:22 Do I need to create a new table for this? How do I only put highscores in that table? How do I get the ranking position 1, 2, 3 etc. into that table… I am pretty new to Airtable and have no idea what to search for…
