I cannot figure out how to get a Vega-Lite chart to sort the Issuers in the y axis by the max APR value. Any ideas?? { "$schema": "https://vega.github.io/schema/vega-lite/v4.json", "title": "Credit Cards", "width": 600, "height": 300, "mark": { "type": "point" }, "encoding": { "x": { "field": "Proj\\.

Hi all - I’ve built a quick database to better understand who I’m following and who’s following me on Twitter in Airtable using syncs from Integromat + Zapier. Works great, syncs info to column headers for things like bio, # of followers, locatiton, title, etc. All things that help me understand who I’m connected with and can easily search through the database. My question is if I can turn this into a SaaS of sorts where a new user can signup, authenticate their Twitter account, and have a new base spun up specifically for their Twitter account (including followers/following). Is this feasible or goes beyond the strengths of Airtable and require custom code solution? Thanks for your help! Patrick

Hi, friends! I’m looking for suggestions on the best method to combine multiple attachments within a record. Essentially I need a button/formula/automation for each row in my table to act as Adobe’s “Combine Files” function in Acrobat. I use miniExtensions and they have an app to combine multiple attachment field into one, but they are still separate files whereas I need to merge them all into one. Is there an Airtable or Integromat function that can perform this task? Thanks in advance!

How do I change the name of an interface with the new layout? Can’t figure out how to edit.

I am creating an application using an AirTable form. We are asking applicants to rank their availability preference for five single select choices. Since there is no ranked choice voting option available on AirTable currently, my workaround is to create five single select fields (questions in the form) with the same answers in each drop down. It's a little cumbersome.The functionality I'd like is, for each descending selection, the choice(s) made previously to be removed from the list (Ex: If Monday at 5pm was the #1 choice, then I'd like that choice to be removed from the 2nd choice question and so on). This would make it more user-friendly and avoid duplicate days/times being selected.I've a feeling this isn't possible quite yet but, if anyone has a workaround or better option for ranked choice voting in AirTable forms, please let me know. Thanks!

I’d like to expand my base that I use to manage my orders for meal kits. I have a table that calculates packaging cost by entering the case price, then units per case, then it gives the cost per unit. I’d like to add this cost to the different meal kit entries which are on another table. The way that I WANT to do it is to use the “link to another record” field, then use the “lookup” field to pull the cost per unit, then use a “formula” field to sum these together. The problem is that I can only select each entry once in the “link to another record” field. So if I use, let’s say, 3 black plastic containers, I can’t calculate it properly. I guess I could have multiple entries for eack packaging item, but that seems like a weird workaround. Is there a function that might do what I want? I’ve added “food costing” base templates, but each of those uses a separate entry for each ingredient amount (i.e. one cup of flour and two cups of flour are separat

Our main People table is linked to a Work History table that shows the date and position of each shift worked. I want a field in the People table to show only the most recent date that a person worked. Lookup fields do that, of course, but return all of the shift records for each person. TIA!UPDATE: The date of the shift worked is stored as text.

All of the charts on my interfaces are suddenly showing a legend (despite the legend setting still being set to 'hidden')For the amount of categies in the data I have a legend does not work at all (my users now see an incomplete list of categories which is misleading and a smaller and harder to read chart).Has anyone else expereinced this?Help! 🙂  

Hoping someone has experience with this - we’re looking to see if there’s a way to force an auto log out after a certain amount of time has passed, does anyone know if this is possible?

Hello,I want to create membership based table in airtable. I want to know if this is possible in Airtable. I want to master table. lets say tableMaster with 4 column. In master table, values in column 1 and 2 are fixed and can only be changed by the admin but values in column 3 and 4 can be changed by the admin and members. When a new member sign up, the airtable should create instance of tableMaster for this member. We will call it memberA-tableMaster. The member can then enter values for column 3 and 4 to see the view of this table based on his values. When another member join, new instance of tableMAster will be created and we will call it memberB-tablemaster. Is this something possible in Airtable using Softr or any other code platform.

My company, a local city government, uses this service. What steps are needed to secure a government tax exemption?

What are my options after I reach  the Table limit of 50000?I've just realized that the record limit is actually a hard limit, not a soft one. What can I do at this point? I'm at a loss. I certainly need more room in my databases - it's crucial for me to store all of my data.

I've been getting this error message recently when attempting to view attachments in my base. Does anyone know what causes it or how to fix it? Not finding much on the help center about preview limitations of this kind. 

Hi, I wonder if there is a formula to calculate number of nights between two dates with times. For instance if I have arrival at 01/09/2022 at 22:00 and departure at 01/11/2022 at 09:00 that evidently means 2 nights in a given place. Any help and ideas will be greatly appreciated.

Is it possible to create a link to a calendar view that always links to today? Is there a way to do this via a URL parameter, e.g. "&date=today"? I have a few views that I consistently reference and it's a bit of a pain to constant find the "Today" button on the view to get it to show the appropriate content.

I am trying to create an analytics table for my reatail business and I created a sheet that includes all the poducts. I have a different table per day that I have sells so in the analytics table I added a column and linked the sells I have per day. What I want to do is to rollup all colums I have in the analytics so I can see my sales per day. How can I rollup sum different colums to get a total per month???

Hello! I have a list of songs, and i would like to invite outside collaborators to rate each song. I know there is a Rating field, but I’m not sure if there is a way to let multiple people rate the same record and then view the results. Is there a way to create a “poll” to allow many people to rate each song, then I can see the total number of ratings and the overall average rating? Thanks for any and all suggestions…

Hi!  I feel like I did decent job searching around to see if the answer to my question already exists, but I apologize in advance if I failed and it's been answered (or/and worse: multiple times. It would mean I suck at searching and my whole identity would be called into question! Egads! And, jokes. I'm joking.) Now, the question:How do I automagically get photos into a table with the meta-data? (Fields, yes, but that's not what I mean.) I assume there's a script or something somewhere (as opposed to this feature being relegated to the IFTTTs and Zapier's of the world.) (I assume I'll be able to figure how I get the pics into the table without having to manually attach each photo bc... well, there's just no way someone didn't solve for this.) Thanks so much! 

See GIF below: Basic project/sprint setup for Gantt view with the "Sprints" here grouped by Project.If I try to add a sprint by dragging out a timeslot in the relevant project, the created sprint/task is created, but not associated with the group/project I tried to create it in. It pops to the top and is not associated with any project. I can't associate it with a project by dragging it down to the relevant project. You would have to click the Sprint and associate the relevant project from there.I find that this breaks my flow when managing multiple projects or just trying to quickly add something during a meeting. It's also made worse by the fact that the left record list (where I can see the name of the Project and associated sprints) is replaced by the record details every time you click a sprint record. This is problematic because I sometimes forget the name of the project, as many of our projects have relatively similar names. So I can s

I have a base which has the design of one date field and 8 image fields .  It  has been working well - with one entry a day since 20 June 2023.  About 3 days ago it stopped letting me upload photos.  I've checked my stats and I am nowhere near my limits. I have also deleted and reinstalled the app on my phone without success.  My other bases are working fine.  I love airtable however cannot work out what is happening.  Any suggestions?

Hello Airtable Community,I am new to Airtable and currently working on a custom mini extension in Airtable that aims to upload CSV files into multiple tables within my base automatically. I have written a script for the mini extension to handle the CSV upload and record creation, but I'm encountering some errors.- The script prompts the user to upload a CSV file using the built-in file picker.- The CSV file has data that needs to be distributed across different tables, namely: contacts, company, line items, services, and invoices.- Each table has unique fields and linked records, and the script maps the CSV data to the appropriate fields accordingly.- I am using native JavaScript to read and parse the CSV content.Issue:When testing the mini extension and attempting to upload the CSV file, I encountered the following error: [Describe the specific error message you received, if any].Code

I have a base with a table that calculates commissions for employees based on the type of revenue is generated (e.g. Service Revenue, Sales Revenue, etc.). Each revenue type includes a specific commission rate. The Revenue Type field is a single select field. I have created a view that shows information for each revenue record. One of my colleagues is a collaborator for this base. I have created a Revenue Commissions view and created a share link and sent it to my colleague, whose job it is to select the correct Revenue Type for each revenue record. He can open up the view, but when he tries to make a Revenue Type selection nothing happens. When he places the cursor in the Revenue Type field, no drop-down arrow (or + sign) appears. In fact, he has tried to actually type an entry in this field and the field will not accept any input.In the Field Manager I have chosen "Specific Users" to define who can update values in the Revenue Type field and selected

Since today, our Airtable base has become extremely slow and is always being delayed by the attached message. We haven’t really changed much from yesterday/last week. It seems like Airtable has changed their loading behavior of views. It’s true, our base is large but it hasn’t changed much in size recently. Still, Airtable is hitting us with this kind of throttling. Anyone else experiencing it? Temporary issue?

Hello everyone,I hope that you can help me with my problem.I tried to export a table in CSV, modify a column and then import it back to the same table with the updated column.However, all the columns that were hosting a link with another table are gone and I need to put them back one by one.Is it possible to import an excel or CSV file in Airtable that was originally from Airtable and has been slightly modified while keeping the links with other tables once imported? Thanks in advance!
