Hello, I am importing records into my airtable via a zap. The application at the other side of the zap allows users to submit their vehicle mileage firstly in the morning and then in the evening. A row/record is created for the start mileage, then another for the end mileage. There is a column for date, user, start mileage, end mileage. What i would like to achieve is to automatically calculate the daily mileage for each user on each day. So I need to match records that have the same date and user, then from this subtract the start mileage from the end mileage. Can anybody point me in the right direction if this is possible and if so, how it could be done? Thanks Mike

I would like to lock the permissions of editing ‘duration field’ to creators and up (that is easy), but let editors to be able to include information there ONLY by using time tracker block. My goal is to lock to the possibility to change amount of time manually. So, I can use that time duration for billing purposes. However, the problem is: IF I set permission of editing for ‘creators and up’, Time Tracker block can’t be used by ‘editors’ (my general employees) IF I set permission of editing for ‘editors and up’, Time Tracker block can be used by ‘editors’ (my general employees), but they can ALSO change the amount of time of the duration field manually (non secure information). Does anyone know how to solve that situation?

Hello everyone, I’m new to Airtable and I’m struggling to come up with a formula that calculates the different scenarios in relation to the timeframes for the tasks to be performed. I would like to post a notice describing the situation in relation to the various remaining timeframes. I am here so far, but i have an error that prevent notices to be displayed and I am lost… : IF( Deadline = BLANK(), /* Deadline is not entered */ "To be planned...", /* Deadline is entered */ SWITCH( {End date} != BLANK(), DATETIME_DIFF( Deadline, {End date}, 'days' ) >= 0, "DEADLINE IS TODAY !", DATETIME_DIFF( Deadline, {End date}, 'days' ) < 0, DATETIME_DIFF({Délai}, TODAY(), 'days') & " DAYS LATE !"), DATETIME_DIFF( Deadline, {End date}, 'days' ) > 0, "Delivered on time" ) ) Can anyone help? I would be very grateful :grinning: Have a Good day ! Gad

Hi There, Looking for a little help either building or advising on this build. We are a credit broker B2B2C. I’m building an Airtable base to manage client onboarding, management and some internal BDM - CRM features. I need some help working out how to structure ‘rate cards’ per merchant (client) initially… Each merchant has a different combination of lenders Each merchant has a different combination of finance products to offer their customers from those lenders. Each merchant may be charged a subsidy (or paid a commission) at different rates (depending on size etc) on the same product with the same lender We may receive different commission rates from the lenders so need to be able to articulate this too. The end goal here is to have a ‘rate card’ against each merchant record. I believe I need to look at the many-to-many links but just want some advice on how best to structure this. Thanks in advance!

With 5 sheets in my base I’m trying to delete the grid view for each. I want to do this to make sure that only the gallery view is available on my website. But, Airtable is not allowing me to delete it, do you have any other methods? Alternatively, is it possible to just make sure that only the gallery view is visible for all 5 sheets in the base after embedding?

Hi @openside I saw your reply to another person at New JotForm Integration - Mapping to Linked Record Fields. I am working with a nonprofit that is delivering basic groceries in Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea, to help fund the nonprofit. Wondering if you could PM me about Openside’s non-profit pricing? We are trying to use a Jotform to take people’s purchase orders (they will later make a bank transfer) and have them autocreate Airtable records in an Airtable inventory management database. Would love to have the orderform automatically pull the product selections from the database as they are added or changed, and also show whether an item is in stock and how many are in stock. Sounds like On2Air could be the answer! Thanks, Ramona

Hi! I track employee time using In and Out Date/Time fields and a formula field that calculates total hours. Now I want to see total hours in a chart block, but my Y-axis must be a numeric field. I want to keep seeing In and Out times, so simply entering hour amounts won’t work. Is there another way I can total, look up, or roll up my employee hours in a way that a chart block will read it? Do I need to explore a different type of block? Thanks for any support you’ve got!

Hi, I need help with linking records with forms. I used this product last year to do exactly what I’m trying to do this year with no problems, but I am running into a problem now. I’m trying to make two different forms, and have information from the second form link to the first one. Specifically I would like the entrant’s email address to link to the first form. When I did this last year, the entrant had to fill out their email address on the second form, and then I went into the grid view and linked the records manually. This year, I can only find the option for the entrant to select their email address from the ones that are already listed on the first form. I’m using these forms for summer reading registration at the library where I work. We get about 700 kids registering every year. Allowing anyone with a link to the second form to see the email addresses of everyone who registered on the first form is not an option; it’s a giant invasion of privacy. Is there a way to link these f

Would Airtable be a good choice to create a Coaching portal? Lets say I have 100 Coaches and each Coach has 50 clients. Data for each client would come from a survey in Typeform and a few course in Thinkific or Teachable. I want to be able to automatically update each client as data comes in from Typeform/Thinkific. Would this work? Anyone ever done anything like this? Thanks!
