Have had this issue before, but haven’t really tried as hard as I just have to solve it. I copy and paste in a list of names from a spreadsheet directly into a ‘link to another record column’ for contacts. This work awesomely to bring out a ton of information I can then export to another app in the right form. What’s really wierd is I need to do this for a different set of data from a different source in a different table. I set them up the same way, but Airtable won’t let me paste the data straight into the “link to another record column” for contacts, it doesn’t matter whether I’m doing it from GSheets or Excel. HOWEVER, if I paste some of the names from the other sheet used above, it DOES work. So, in summary, Airtable is letting me paste names directly into a “link to another record column” from one spreadsheet, but not from another. How can this be?

Hello everyone - Does anyone know how to send an email notification when an editable field within a record changes? I looked at Zapier and the only triggers are New Record or New Record In View. We have several scenarios where people want to be notified via email (not currently collaborators) when information changes. Many thanks for your insights and advice. Doug

Hi everyone ! I’m not new to Airtable, but I’m completely lost with the calendar sync … I tried everything i saw on the web, but i can’t do what I want to do. So here’s my goal: I have a date column in a table, which is the “Next call date”. I would like to have a new calendar event created in my Google Calendar each time this date is updated I tried this with zapier and views, I tried with sharing the airtable calendar. I thought to create as many columns as events I need, and views with certain filter as triggers, but it’s not really clean … Thanks for help !!!

Hello, I would like to be able to view various locations daily performance reports. Is it possible to have several different forms within one table and then create a view or report for each of the locations? I was thinking to create forms that can be completed for each location and then be able to view a report based on location or other criteria in the future.

We are using airtable as our CRM system. We have an interaction tab set-up where our sales team records interactions with leads and clients. When we open the contract record the interactions need to be sorted by the “Date” field - located on the interaction area. Even with the view being sorted by date they are not appearing sorted by data on the contact record preview (sample image attached). Can anyone provide insight on how to get them to show up in the correct order?

Hey :slightly_smiling_face: We use [interactions] table and we have a linked field to [customers] table.

Thanks

Hi Forum, i created a Gantt block for one of my projects. The problem is that while I can change the start and end dates manually I can,t move the bars in the block view.

I’m trying to roll up a bunch of different dates. I need them comma separated in an array, so I later can replace the comma with a line break to display them on top of each other. I’ve tried with ARRAYUNIQUE(DATETIME_FORMAT(values, ‘DD-MM-YYYY’)) in my roll-up field However this only works if there is only one date, but when there is more dates then they return ERROR. Is there a way around this?

Hello Airtable Community. I’m actually not sure if the subject is the right for this question but it’s the closest I could think of. I created a formula field to autofill out instagram.com prior to a profile name to save me re-typing it every time. (Thanks to Scottsworld for helping me with that) "https://www.instagram.com" & {profilename} Is there a way to only show instagram.com if a profilename is not empty? ie nothing will show in the formula field if profilename is empty. Hope this makes sense!

Is it possible to hide fields in the expanded view? Right now the expanded views is totally unusable. We have over 100 fields in our table, but only need to see 6-10 in the expanded view. Is that possible? Thank you!

Hello Airtable Superheroes! A major frustration with the Gantt block for our team is being restricted to using two input date fields. It would be so nice to be able to have one of them be a formula, so we can drag the dates around, which would change one of the dates and then the formula can update based on a duration input field. This seems silly, because you can just drag things around already, but if someone manually updates a record’s start date (which is very difficult to control with the current permissions scheme), the end date does not automatically update, nor does the gantt automatically shift to accommodate the change. Another super feature, would be to have the gantt show how many records are scheduled for each day. Because the gantt view is so “big” and blocky, it makes a lot of scrolling up and down is required to have a an idea of the number of tasks scheduled for each day. Giving a summary in the top date bar would be a HUGE help. Alternatively, I was going to try a com

I do not see a way to add a time field, so someone can choose 7:00am or 9pm, etc.

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 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!
