I was trying to create a view that would show “My Tasks” on a “Tasks” table. For this to work for any collaborator, I would need to be able to set a filter for tasks where the “Assignee” is “Me” and not my explicit name. Since I could not find anything about this, I assume there is a workaround for this. I would love to know.

Hey folks, I have what I have to assume is a silly problem but I’m still stuck. Here’s what I’m trying to do I have a table with Users (Table: “Users_Table”) and various characteristics One of the characteristics is “Favorite Foods” (A multiple select). So Jane, a user, can have the entities “Pot Pie”, “Chocolate Cake” in her Favorite Foods column Meanwhile, another table is “Table_of_Foods” with their ingredients (Food_Name is the Primary field on that table) and the Ingredients_List column is a multiple select The Food_Name “Chocolate Cake” has these entities in the Ingredients_List: Chocolate, Butter, Sugar; and the item “Pot Pie” has: Chicken, Butter, Carrots Now, what I’m trying to do here is have a column over in Users_Table that has Ingredients_Allowed where I am rolling up all the ingredients that I know my users can eat, since they are components of their favorite items: “Pot Pie”, “Chocolate Cake” in the “Favorite Foods” column.

Is there a way to take notes on a client that is timestamped, and lasts for longer than a year? The only two options I see are Long Text, which doesn’t timestamp or put last note first, and adding a comment, which doesn’t have any formatting and doesn’t last more than a year. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

I need to combine information from other bases into a new base. Is it possible to copy a single table from one base to another base?

Hi, I’ve created a gantt chart using using the Gantt app and I would like to embed that chart on a Confluence page. Is there a way to do this?

Hi there, I’m trying to make a Task project and I have linked 2 tables ‘Customer’ and ‘ContactPersons’. When I select the Contact Person I only want to see the persons related to the selected Company… How can this be done?

For this base here: https://airtable.com/shr1arcXG0K2CZn5v I want to be able to add stylist name repeatedly on the 2nd tab Service and Retail Sales. Now inside the stylist commission tab (1st tab) I want all fields with Anne i.e. to show up on that line.

Hi, I have a multi-select dropdown question inside an Airtable form. It lets users select the attributes of a trip (beach, winter, ect.) Is it possible to push a hidden value into the Airtable grid instead of the visible text? For example, if someone clicks ‘Mountains’ the cell shows 512352. I was thinking the substitute equation might work but didn’t have success when multiple attributes were selected. Thank you!

I have a formula field that combines 2 separate lookup fields with email addresses together. When I use the formula field that combines all email addresses as my email recipients in the Sendgrid APP, instead of sending a single email to all the recipients, it sends emails to each individual separately. How can I structure the field so that a single email is sent to all recipients? Formula used in the combined field: IF({Field 1}=BLANK(), {Field 2}, IF({Field 2}=BLANK(),{Field 1},{Field 1} & ", " & {Field 2}))

What does it mean “Synced tables update method”? For example, if my main table is in “PRO WORKSPACE” and synced table in “FREE WORKSPACE”, will my synced table updated automatically? In contrast, if my main table is in “FREE WORKSPACE” and synced table in “PRO WORKSPACE”, will it work automatically? Thanks for any input!

Today my scripting app stopped working and is now giving an error. “L: linkedRecordIds” The issue is when pulling in records. I tried creating a separate scripting app with these three lines: let table = base.getTable('Products'); let query = await table.selectRecordsAsync(); output.table(query.records); I am still getting the same error. Is there something wrong with the table itself? It seems any table with records that are linked to Programs give the same error while tables that aren’t are completely fine.

Hey there, I just started using Airtable today and want to go ballistic :grinning_face_with_big_eyes: I have two tables Availability with a customer, number field (w), number field (max) [customer: “username”; kw: 6, max: 42] Tasks with several fields, but specific also customer, number field (kw), number field (value), [customer: “username”; kw: 6; value: 4] My Goal: I want to populate with a complex lookup like - ((<Tasks.value>/<Availability.max>)*100) WHERE (<Availability.customer> = <Tasks.customer> AND <Availability.w> = <Tasks.kw>) So basically, I want to see how much percent of max Availability for a specific customer is a single Task taking up. Any Idea how to solve this? (Which plan is needed?)

When printing from my Mac computer from the page designer app, my page prints exactly as I’ve designed it with a font weight of 500. But when I print the same page from a PC (but on the exact same printer), my page’s text prints as though the font weight has suddenly been changed to 100. It is very faint. This happens on two different PC’s, but not on my Mac. Any ideas?

Hi, I have a table where I have calculated dates using a formula so many days from another field. This is an if statement because there are different situations. I have used the datetime format so it is a date. IF({Campaign Class}=‘Minor’,DATETIME_FORMAT(DATEADD( {Execution Start},-98,‘Days’), ‘DD/MM/YY’),IF({Campaign Class}=‘Small’,DATETIME_FORMAT(DATEADD( {Execution Start},-154,‘Days’), ‘DD/MM/YY’),IF({Campaign Class}=‘Medium’,DATETIME_FORMAT(DATEADD( {Execution Start},-210,‘Days’), ‘DD/MM/YY’),IF({Campaign Class}=‘Large’,DATETIME_FORMAT(DATEADD( {Execution Start},-238,‘Days’), ‘DD/MM/YY’),“TBA”)))) Issue us when I try and use this date to populate a gannt chart it says it is not recognizing this as a date. Any ideas. Thanks, Mark

Every day I keep coming up with new label names for my tables but i want to keep the names consistent across all tables. What is the simplest way to achieve this ? Also, I am willing to do manual work if that’s what it would take. I wanna know the ideas. Please do not flag my post. This is a genuine request.

We’re reaching our space limit (not record limit), if I delete the attachment field and attachments, will that free up space? If it does, do we know when or how long it takes for airtable to sync and free up space?

Hi Everyone. I use the Airtable Charts a Lot. And here I want a small update in charts. You can see the marked data is coming from “group by” and price. I want airtable to show the price in the end of the graph line with the same color. So I won’t need to hover over to find which line represents which PRICE. Hope I explained it correctly.

I started using Airtable a few years ago to create a set of local resource directories re: COVID-19 I have public views which I share. I’ve now got free Pro access for a year. I created a block that embeds a table’s form link. The share link expands to a URL with the query string blocks=hide So, the block doesn’t showing up in my public view. Removing the query string or changing ‘hide’ to ‘show’ doesn’t work. ‘Show’ displays the blocks panel with a spinning wheel and an error dialog in my table view: An error has occurred - Invalid permissions. What should I do to make the form visible on the same web page as the table view? Thanks, Paola

I am stuck on something that shouldn’t be as hard as I’m making it. I have several formula fields in my base that are calculating dates based on a # of days entered. I want to put all of these dates together - but I’m having a minor issue. Some projects have 1 date, others have 3 - up to 4 potential dates that need to be concatenated. I have a simple formula written that concatenates them "IF( {FP 1st}, CONCATENATE({FP 1st}, ", ",{Fp 2nd}, ", ",{Fp 3rd}, ", “, {FP 4th}))” - so if the FP 1st isn’t blank, put all of the values together. The issue I’m having is that for the projects that don’t have FP 2nd or higher, I’m still getting the commas. Normally this isn’t a big issue, but this field is going on a shared view for clients. Is there a way to write an IF formula to tackle this? Or set it up differently and try to run an array formula on this field?

Please help me with this.

Hi, community :slightly_smiling_face: I’m using Airtable and already had set up a scenario, where changes from Google Calendar events are applied to specific rows in Airtable. Now I would like to set up a similar scenario from the Airtable side. So when something changes in the row it triggers scenario and Google Calendar event would be updated. First I built scenario: Airtable (watch records) -> Google calendar (Update an event). But it doesn’t work because I cannot provide Google Calendar Event ID :frowning: So then I created such a scenario: Airtable (watch records) -> Google calendar (Get events) -> Google calendar (Update an event). So now it is successfully triggered when I change time in the Airtable, successfully finds the event in Google Calendar, but then it doesn’t process by the last module.

I was hoping I could leverage the new Sync capability to get around the maximum record limit for a base ( 50 000 for me) but it looks like you designed sync in a way so that this is not possible. My problem is that my company has a huge list of customers/contacts that I would like to leverage within multiple bases in airtable but because of its size that is impractical right now. Do you see any way around this problem?

Hi, I have created a table to keep a record of my share trading, it’s quite basic, just one table which perhaps is my issue. In the column called company which is “multiple select”, there are repetitions as I have bought the same shares multiple times at different prices. What I wish to do is calculate the individual company totals I hold, then calculate the percentage each company holds in my total share holdings. I can do this fairly easily on excel but would like to have a running view of the percentage each company is of my total. I would prefer to do this in the table rather than using an app if possible. Thanks for your assistance.

Hi friends, Is it possible to have a trial (3 days?) of a paid plan that would enable me to see the actual functionality of the search app? I could not see a why to sign up for any trial without it saying that my trial would cost $$ and renew automatically. I am loving this program so far and want to check that it will fulfil this last important requirement of mine. Thanks!
