Hello: I have a multiple select field with one or more dates. I want to count the number of dates and then filter the people with with 2 or more. I also want to eliminate people with whom we have not had contact with in more than 2 months? In if statement? if so how? Thanks for your help.

I swear I read somewhere recently that we could choose to make out account public, I think so other users could look at it for ideas or AirTable could look at it for research or something, and in exchange we’d be able to upgrade for free, but now I can’t find that information anywhere. Does anyone else remember reading something like this?

I am a consultant and was very hopeful that I could use airtable to build a solution for a client to replace their access database that had two tables in it. I have now pretty much given up on using AirTable but thought I’d ask in case I am overlooking some feature that could make this work. My client has 10 users that modify data, and 300 that look at the data. The people doing the looking never edit, but they would need to be able to change the sort order of the views, and ideally resize columns and filter what is in the views. This does not seem to be possible if they are “readonly” users. I don’t see any “Blocks” that support this either. So it appears the only option would be to make all those 300 users “commenters”. But that has two big problems. The first is that they don’t want to spend the additional $6,000 per month (300 users * 20 each) to support that - we can make other solutions much cheaper. The second is, even if they did pay, every user still has to create perso

I have tables “customers” “orders” and “products” Products has a multiple choice for product type. Orders is linked to the customer and the product with a date. I am looking for a solution to find the last time a product was ordered by a client in an overview/ filter/ group. Example: Product Type A “customer” “product name” “order id” “order date” “customer” “product name” “order id” “order date” Product Type B “customer” “product name” “order id” “order date” I would love to hear some ideas or if you know anywhere else in the form where it is discussed. Thanks in advance BH

Hello, I’m attempting to use airable to manage a tag filtering system that feeds into a 3rd party database for my job. Problem is that multiple select tags seem to add an arbitrary space when converted to a string. This effectively eliminates its usefulness as our system cannot parse it. Example: Is there any easy way to get around this? Perhaps an extra formula step to remove the space after each comma? Thank you in advance!

Hi, I am a little confused with exactly how to write an IF statement that checks that all three of the following conditions are true: {Status} = “” {Replacement Required} = “Yes” IF(NOW() > WORKDAY({Date Created},2) I have the first two worked out, but when I try to add the third condition I am struggling to get it to work. Any assistance gratefully received.

Hi, I am very new to Airtable. I am doing social media for a non-profit organization, so I am using the Social Media Calendar base. I am having a very hard time with the calendar. The default template had 2018 and 2019 holidays, and I figured out how to make them display 2020 holidays. What I cannot figure out is how to display the 2021 dates for holidays that change. The formula appears to just be adding one year to the original date (looks like it was built for birthdays and then co-opted into all holidays?) and I cannot seem to change that to account for variable holidays. Ideally I would just type in the 2021 date and it would display on the 2021 calendar in the correct place. Thank you in advance for your help! Dates of Changing Holidays

Using Devonthink 3 Pro, I can capture text from whatever source (eg websites, etc). then use a keyboard shortcut of my own making via Word Service, to reformat - stripping out all links, line endings, headings, bold, etc etc. What I’d like to do is copy and paste direct into a long text field in AT and have the field reformat it? Is that possible, and if so would I need to use a formula or script and if so what would the formula be and how would I go about it? tia

Seems like it’s not possible from the documented APIs in the docs, but wanted to confirm or see if there was a workaround! Thanks

Im trying to add new single select option through a block. Is there a way to do that?

Is there any way to force uniqueness on the key field? In other words, I want the value in the key field to be unique across all records. So I should not be able to create two records with the same key field value. Thanks. –Brad

Hi! Does anyone know the appropriate way to getting a form header to automatically resize depending on the device being used? Or which dimensions I should be using when I create the header for it to look OK on all sized devices? I currently have an image (that includes words) for the header of a form and while it looks great on a laptop, pulling it up on a mobile device cuts the image awkwardly. Any help much appreciated. Thanks in advance!

I want to be able to link a simple google sheet to a table in Airtable using Integromat so that i can have outside users update, delete, and create records via the google sheet. I started by using the Integromat template for creating and updating aritabel via google sheets and all I can get it to do is create one record and then it uses all the other rows to update the one row it created instead of making new rows. I know this should be very easy but I can’t seem to locate the issue of why it won’t give me more than one record. I’ve uploaded screenshots of the google sheet setup and the airtable set up along with the integromat. Any help would be appreciated.

I’m wondering if it’s possible at all to have air table auto create dates with time slots at for example like 30 min or 1 hour intervals for appointments. I thought of maybe doing this with the scripting block but i cannot find anything anywhere on writing the code for this. I’m hoping to autocreate essentially a calendar full of open appointment slots 30 or 60 days ahead and have it constant

We have a few Airtable forms embedded onto our Wordpress website and they have worked great until recently. In the last week or two, all of the forms are taking on a ton of extra space at the bottom of the form - just blank white space that at least doubles the length of the form embed. I tried repasting the code, but the same thing happens. Any ideas on how to fix this?

I’ve got a calendar view in my base for which I’m using an ical subscription link to have it show up in my calendar app. For some reason, when I look in my calendar app, every single event has the character “:” added to the end the event name. (For example, “Meeting with Marcy:” instead of “Meeting with Marcy”.) There is no colon in the event names in the airtable calendar. Does anyone know why this is happening and how to fix it?

(I’m pretty sure the answer to this question is going to be “that’s just the way it is”, but I’m gonna ask anyway.) Is there a way to Group records on a field WITHOUT the Group also sorting on that field? I already have a sort I like (by Date) and a pretty “group header” field that spells out the month (e.g. “July 2020”) that I would like to group on so that the groups each show that field. However, when I Group on the field, it also sorts (alpha) on that field, screwing up the sort. Why isn’t Group just group? It should be named “Group and Sort” if it’s going to do both. :slightly_frowning_face: Or at least make the sorting an option that can be turned off. Example: If I have the following data: 1 A 2 A 3 C 4 C 5 A 6 B And I Sort on Number and Group on Letter, I’d like to have: 1 A 2 A 3 C 4 C 5 A 6 B That is, form a new group when the letter changes WITHOUT sorting on the letter itself. Instead, I get this: 1 A 2 A 5 A 6 B 3 C 4 C Is this an unreasonable expectation? Is this someth

Is there a way to omit a column from being filtered while on the same view? For example, one of our PM’s likes to turn a filter on based on install dates, but when he turns it on, it changes the order of every column. Can we just use that filter on a specific column? Or would a new view need to be created to do that? Thanks for your help.

I would like to share a base to several “commenters” that need to be unknown to each other. At the moment, seems like a commenter can see the emails of the other commenters to whom I have shared the base with. I would like that a commenter wasn’t able to see the others. Is there a way to achieve this? Thanks

I’m struggling a bit with linked records and getting the required data for them. Let’s assume that I have a contacts table that list different contacts by a contact ID. I have another table that I record every communication I do with a contact. The fields are: contact ID (same ID as in the contacts table), date, type, remarks, etc… Now, since there are various communications with each contact, there are many rows (or records) with the same contact ID, one for each communication. I want to add a field in the contacts table that would show the latest communication date for that contact. I couldn’t find any way to do that. What am I doing wrong? Thanks a lot.

Sorry I do search the help topics honestly - why is that I cannot see blocks - it is in a base that has been shared with me, the lady who has shared it is a pro user, I am a pro user, we work for the same organisation collaborating on the same base but because it’s showing as a shared base rather than in my pro workspace I cannot see the blocks :frowning: - any ideas? Coincidently when I share a base with her she can see the blocks whereas I just get an option to upgrade

Newbie question - I have a total of 2981 records across 4 tables (2840 + 123 + 3 + 15) in my workspace. 2 of these tables 2840 and 123 are linked through certain columns. My usage shows 5734 records. What is causing the count to almost double up? :thinking: Thank you in advance for your guidance.

Hello. Our team has a problem with unexpected debits due to the creation of too many billable collaborators. That is, we created three users without realising they would be billable. We need only the one billable user on our PRO plan. One of the debits is a strange amount not related to the published rates for the plan. We have cancelled all our Airtable users and have been forced to continue development under the FREE plan. We understand that there is a pro rata refund available in this situation, but what we seem to have been given is a promise of a reduction in future fees. This would not be suitable. But we cannot know anything for sure until we get into some sort of dialogue with Airtable. However, our office manager has sent a request, via the in-app form, for assistance with this problem three times over the last two months and received NO REPLY from Airtable. Does anybody know how to get support from Airtable? In the meantime we are sending a priority mail to their postage add
