Let's say I have 3 date columns namely Attempt #1, Attempt #2, and Attempt #3. I want to send Attempt #1 on May 1, 2023 --- then I want Airtable to automatically compute the next follow-up date (which is after 3 days). But if it falls on a weekend, I want it to automatically add the nearest weekday date available. The same goes for attempt #3, I want Airtable to compute the next follow-up date based on the date indicated in attempt #2. Is this possible? 

I extracted unique names of participants in my table by using the ARRAYUNIQUE formula in a field called {Progress Made BY}. This produced a list of unique names separated by commas in the {Progress Made BY} field, which is what I was looking for. I used this one instead of CONCATENATE because I had a couple of duplicate text strings. I then created an IF LEN SUBSTITUTE formula field called {# Participants Progress Made BY} to count the names separated by commas produced in the {Progress Made BY} formula field. IF({Progress Made BY},LEN({Progress Made BY})-LEN(SUBSTITUTE({Progress Made BY},",",""))+1) *Note that I had used this formula successfully in other tables to do the same thing, however the reference field in the other formula fields was a CONCATENATE formula field instead of an ARRAYUNIQUE formula field. I get an #ERROR message in the {# Participants Progress Made BY} field where there is data (separated by commas) in the {Progress Made BY} field in the record, and nothing retu

I'm trying to get this formula to calculate the difference between the date 'today' and the date in the field 'End date', then stay blank if it it's more than 10 days but return 'Yes' if it's 10 days or less. I can't get it to return the right values though. Any suggestions for how I can fix this to get the right result?  IF(DATETIME_DIFF(TODAY(),{End date},'days') >10, " ", "Yes")

Hello!I'm making a table to generate contracts. Sometime there is 1 name on the contract, sometime 2.List of my columns :Name 1Name 2And (just a formula for write "and" in the column).I'm trying to find the good way to write the formula of my and column :CONCATENATE({And}, " ", {Name 2}) (it works fine)IF({Name 2} = BLANK() => don't show "and" in this column.Thanks for your reading!Have a nice day.

Hello, I have the table that is pulling information from other table using lookup fields. However, unless I manually assign the initial pull-down record, it wont find any previous information. I am trying to use automation to fix that.I attempted to link record based on  this article however it does not do what I want it to do. The goal is simple. I have Table A, it contains names and all the associated information with those names. I am adding the lookup fields from other Table B, and I want to see what information it contains. I need to connect these two, so the lookup field from Table B that initialises all the following references automatically assigns to Table A field. I tried "Update the Record" and "Find" and then "Update", but it doesnt seem to work. Any help is appreciated!

At least let me re-order the interfaces that are listed.Right now it's as you create is the order that is displayedI really want interfaces that are related to each other to be next to each otherFor example New Contact at top, Lookup Contact and Activities EntryAnd the two Dashboards at the bottom.  

Hello everyone,I want to allow a list of people (whose information are already stored in a table) to book different events in a Calendar they could access. The booking system would allow them to see all upcoming events, and register to the ones that we still have availabilities for (let's say 5 participants maximum per event for example).I had access to the "No-Conflict Asset Reservations" template, and it seems promising, but it implies that the Assets will be available 24/7, whereas I would like to let people choose among a list of pre-defined slots.All the registrants will be pre-existing records in my "People" tab. Ideally, I would like the process for them to be:They receive a unique link to a view/interface they can bookmark and share internally.They open this, and see the event they want to take part in. The number of participants is displayed next to an event, and only events where we still have slots remaining are visible. (In a perfect world, they could even toggle betwe

I am trying to write an IF function such that the condition in the statement is to look for the presence of a particular word in a multi-select column. If the word is present in the multi-select, the value-if-true should be displayed. In a multi-select column, there is a list of amenities: Airconditioning, Lounge, Studio, etc. I want to create a new formula column that looks for "Studio" in the multi-select column. If it is present then show Yes, if it's not show "No". Something like this: IF(Amenities="Studio", "Yes", "No"). This gives me the correct output if the only value selected is Studio. In the case where the column has "Lounge" and "Studio", I get No as the output. 

Hi,I'm trying to create a new table using CSV file with field name and data type only, without sample data using Airtable interface, not API. For ex, Field 1,Field 2,Field 3text,number,dateThe expected output is a table with three fields named “Field 1”, “Field 2”, and “Field 3”. The first field should be a text field, the second field should be a number field, and the third field should be a date field.However, instead of setting the data type for each field, the second row was treated as a record.I tried a different format and result is the same.  Row 1 is treated as field names, and rest of the rows below were records:Field Name,Data TypeName,Single line textEmail,EmailPhone,Phone numberAddress,AddressDate,DateStatus,Single selectNotes,Long textTruly Appreciate any help you can provide.

Hi, I am new (1 week) to Airtable.I have a Base with 2 tables. Table 1 has 1 Company field. Table 2 has 2 fields : Company and Database.Table 1 is filled with 200 records.Company1 / Database1Company1 / Database2Company1 / Database3Company2 / Database4Etc.....When I choose the Company Company1 in Table 2, then in the Database field I only want to see the records that are linked to Company1, namely Database1, Database2 and Database3.Is this possible!RegardsMichel

I have an Airtable table that I'm using as a library to organize many documents, most of which are PDFs. The organization features (tagging, categorizing, etc.) are all working great. However, Airtable's PDF viewer is just not nearly as good for me as my preferred open (Adobe's Chrome plugin).I used to be able to have a button or formula field that would allow me to open each record's attachment in the browser's default app by extracting the attachment's URL. However, I understand that attachment URLs now change frequently for security reasons, so this solution no longer works. How can I open a PDF attachment in my web browser rather than in Airtable's viewer? This seems like something that should be easy. Note that I can download the PDF and open it on my desktop as a second-best solution. 

Hello all, I was trying to optimize a website and reducing the size of the images and I ran into a problem which is not occurring in other projects. When converting the images to webp and uploading them to Airtable, Airtable is converting them back to PNG and feeding a 50KB file and making it 700KB. So I tried a few options and upon uploading smaller PNG’s in order not to have airtable convert, I noticed that a PNG file is 170KB yet, Airtable is still feeding it as a 700KB+ png file to my website. How is this possible? I have other projects using airtable and I can fetch webp files for starters with no issues. But with this project I don’t get webp, only PNG’s and they are also not the same size as the uploaded versions. I tried creating a new column and adding only webp files and the result is still the same. Any suggestions on what I can do? Thank you in advance.

Hey guys,This is driving my brains a bit nuts. I have a base for sales & stock management. In my sales base I have a Date field called INVOICE DATE and a LOOK UP FIELD for the Product's Latest Stocktake.The formula I am trying to achieve here is:IF Invoice Date is BEFORE last stock take (including time) then Result is 'BEFORE'IF Invoice Date is AFTER Last stock take then 'AFTER'IF Invoice Date is AFTER last stock take AND equals or higher than Today+7 days then 'FUTURE'If Last Stocktake is Blank then 'NO STOCK' So far this has worked the closest, although it doesn't have the NO STOCK option and it gets all messed up with I set times and timezones to the date fields.IF({Invoice Date}<{Last stocktake},"BEFORE",IF(AND({Invoice Date}>{Last stocktake},{Invoice Date}>=DATEADD(TODAY(),7,'days')),'FUTURE',IF({Invoice Date}>{Last stocktake},'AFTER'))) Can anyone help, please? 

I'm thinking that there would be a formula to calculate all the days in this pattern described below. But, I just can't seem to crack it.I have a scheduling base that I would like to group by month. But the beginning of this month grouping would need to start on the Monday that is on or before the 1st of the month. This way the grouping includes all 7 days of the 1st week. The monthly grouping would end on the last Sunday of the Month to include all days of the last week. Example: For June 2023... Jun 1st is on a Thursday. So the Grouping of June 2023 would start on the Monday before, May 29th. The grouping would include all rows from May 29th thru the last Sunday of the Month June 25th.Then the next grouping would start. The July 2023 grouping would include all dates from Monday Jun 26th until Sunday July 30th, and so on...The formula would label each row "Year Month#: Month Name" or "2023 06: June". This keeps the groups in chronological order.Thanks in advance if anyone has sug

Hi there! I’d appreciate any ideas about how to handle this data entry need: I have a form (external users) where one of the fields needs to collect assessor’s parcel numbers. Users tend to input this in very inconsistent formats, so I wanted to make this a multi-select or use a linked record from another table to force consistent formatting. However, there are about 29k potential parcel numbers to select from, and Airtable is not handling a CSV upload of these numbers into a new table (it crashes out even though the CSV is <2MB). I’d take all kinds of solutions, including: A way to add 29k options to a multi-select A better way to upload a single-column, 29k row table to use for linked records A way to force a 000-000-000 format for a text entry field (however, I’d need a way to have multiple parcel numbers entered with this format in this field, as each record could have multiple parcels listed) Or any other clever ideas about how to handle this to cut down on post-entry data cl

I have a lookup field that I use to pick what Client the new record in my Activities Base is for called ContactsIt auto populates the field record properly when I select the new clientHowever because you can't have the first field contain a Lookup (DUMB BTW especially for rollups and such) I have to put a formula to use the data from the lookup field record to do the rest of my workflow for the clientIt is putting the information in "" (see graphic) (Client field)It did not do that when I just used the old fields of First Name /Last name when I concatenated them (Concatenate field) which used to be the way until we moved into a separate table for Contact informationIs there something I missed in setting up the Account name field or the Contact Field to prevent the " " (quotes) from being shown?

I decided at one point to create an extra table to keep some additional records related to another table. What I did is to create a new table and add a column linking to the original table. So there is supposed to be a 1-1 relationship between the rows. Unfortunately, this has not worked out because when I update the main table, the linked table does not get updated. So I want to merge the data from the extra table back into the main table. That is easy to do outside of airtable because it is a simple table join. I did it in R in a few minutes. However, I am not sure about loading the merged table back into airtable as I think it will lose all the links to other table I setup.The main table looks like:ID (a formula), Year, Semester, Course, ...The extra table looks the same but beyond the first few columns (which together uniquely determine the row), it contains different data, e.g., enrollments, etc.Is there a way inside of airtable to merge the columns from the second table into the

Hello everyone,I’m here to ask you about a specific use case for which my searches didn’t get me any good results.I have a table of video documents where there is a duration field, with length written in the format hh:mm:ss.I have a second field called duration format, in which I wish for 3 options to be available: under 30 min, between 30 min and 1h, over 1h.Is there a way to fill this second field (duration format) automatically based on the value of the first field (duration)?Thank you in advance for your help and answers!Best regards to everyone!Charlie

The column name is too long and doesn't move to new lines when I shrink the column. Can you suggest a way to move part of the name to a different line? Thank you for any suggestions!

Hi everybody I have tried the iCal connector to Google Calendar. It is a very useful feature and I was very happy when I saw it but, unfortunately, it looks like Google is not properly updating the information. The first time you make the connection it works fine but afterwards, if you make changes in the database, these changes are not reflected in Google Calendar. If you try to connect it again you must introduce something new in the URL provided by Airtable so that Google Calendar understand it is a new Calendar and does not use the cache. So, the calendar is out of sync as soon as you change any information in the database. Althouhg I think this is a Google problem (there are some forum about it https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/calendar/ixQnzHmWDSk), it would be fantastic if you could do something about it because this feature is something we have been looking for. Thank you!

Hi all,I'm wondering: Do any of you Airtable experts have an idea how I could calculate how many Fridays (or any other weekdays for that matter) there are in a given month?

Hi there,I am getting this error message back, when I test my HTTP request flow in Webflow:{ "error": { "type": "INVALID_VALUE_FOR_COLUMN", "message": "Value is not an array of record IDs." } }Strange that it doesn't name the column. Strange that I am not writing any data with reference to other records into reference fields. It's a simple form with text fields, number field, an email field, a phone field and a checkbox.No matter how I manipulate the form, this message comes up. The request as such is successfull.Has anyone experienced this?

Hello,I am trying to transform my wide format data to narrow format. The data is input into wide format because I am using a softr form for employees to give feedback on how the production cycle went and it is much easier for them to fill out a form that transmits to a wide data format. However, for analysing the results and presenting feedback I want the data in narrow format. I am trying to create an automation to do this but it is not working and I have tried linked formulas but have not achieved the desired effect. In the wide data format, the different quality out comes are each a separate field and I need to transform this into a single select field in the narrow data format table. The numbers for each quality outcome must become quantities in the narrow format.The problems with the automation are: It triggers too fast and I get several empty records in the narrow format table so I have tried to delay the automation with a script but that does not work at all.Also, sometimes the
