Solved

Hello everyone! Thank you for taking the time to review my question. I am using the Airtable “Find Record” automation feature to find records based on certain conditions. Once the feature finds multiple records, it selects the “Top” or “First” record that meets the condition criteria. I am trying to have it randomly select from the results, rather than default selecting the same record that was on top or first. Does anyone know the direction to look in or the process to make this possible? Thank you kindly in advance!

For the last 20 hours, I have not been able to access Airtable through the MacOS Desktop App.  Out of nowhere, the pages are all broken as if the CSS is not working.  I only see broken text.I uninstalled, reinstalled.  Reloaded pages, nothing.Anyone have insights?

Hello all!As the subject suggests, I am trying to fill in blank cells under a certain column with "N/A" when a form input leaves the column blank. This is so that when I create an automated email, instead of "the part is     ", the recipient will receive "the part is N/A." I have tried to run an automation with when I change the status of the form input, a conditional record update will trigger but only if it is empty. However, I keep getting a testing error. Does anyone have insight into this? Thanks!

Hi everyone!I am currently setting up a database to calculate how long a project has been active.This means I'd like a formula that calculates the difference between (a) the start and finish dates or (b) the start and current date (if a finish date has not been specified).I know of formulas that can do either of the needed functions, but not one that is conditional and selects which calculation is appropriate for each project. Hopefully someone might be able to help me out? Thanks again!

I need to duplicate an interface but i can only can duplicate a view inside the same interface, is there a way to duplicate the whole interfaace?

I have tried a ton of suggestions but I am not figuring this out.  And I thought it would be a simple auto-parsing formula.I have an interface that allows our team to enter a new task/call record into our task tracking base (see pic below)I have a field that is Date-Time field that when an entry is created, the person adding the entry (through an interface) selects the current day/time when they start the task. (There is a lot of behind the scenes processing that happens with this information)I want to be able to auto-populate a Date only field based on what was entered in the Date-Time field. Right now the Date and Month field are manually updated by the person filling out the entry.  (I want to remove this manual set of steps)I also want the Month field to auto-populate the Month field - so again we can present the what happened in the month (Closed, Open, Pending tasks)Reasons: We can have dashboards and the DB Views that organize/present what happened on each da

In my automations under action types, I see that the run script option is not available. Two questions:What can scripts do? Are they for example capable of making HTTP requests? And what scripting language is supported?Why is this action not available? All the way down the list there are a few integrations that are unavailable because I need to upgrade to pro or enterprise, as the icon clearly indicates. This doesn't seem to be the case for scripts? 

I have three tables: Projects, People, Contracts.When a request for a new Project is submitted, multiple People are added to the 'Talent' field.I would like to create an Automation that then creates a new Contract for each of the People allocated as Talent.Thank you in advance. I hope I've explained that sufficiently, I'm new to Airtable! 

Hello All,After discovering Airtable through a colleague in a similar area, my office has been using it to manage temporary staffing. Despite the trend towards (and admitted usefulness of) low-code and no-code third party solutions, I am lucky to have a formal computer science background and as such have found the ability to weave varying levels of hard code into my organization's platform in a way that (mostly) integrates well with extant declarative tools and elements uniquely useful.Getting to the actual issue at hand, I am putting together a solution through an instance of the scripting app to run on the press of a button that takes select fields from the input record, concatenates them into a large string, and hashes them into a (semi)unique password to be used in a separate email validation process.Collision is a non-issue and the hash has no need to be cryptographically secure, but it is important that the resulting value, which is stored in a plain text field, remain immut

Hello,I am interacting with AirTable Template to learn: https://www.airtable.com/universe/exph2Hba4WdowOR1X/ux-research-insights-database?explore=trueI experience the challenge while grouping by multi-select field. I end up with different combinations of groups containing the same value.For e.g. I do have: "Audio", "Audio + Audio", "Audio + Onboarding" (please see screenshot).I would like to have "Audio" as one group and "Onboarding" as 2nd group. I am fine with the fact that they will contain exact same record.I understand the relations between the tables, however can someone guide me how to build it in a different way, so that I can have "unique" Groups? I still would like to use multi select (not single select).Cheers,Karo 

Hello Everyone,TLDR:  Can I populate the {to} field in the "send an email" action with a conditional list of email addresses?I have a user accounts table with typical user account stuff (name, email address, etc.).  In that table there is a single select field to describe each user's role within our org. I would like to send an automated email to everyone who matches a specific user role when certain record triggers fire.  I.e.  "When a record is updated, send this email to all users with the role of {team leader}".The list of users will not be static over time.  Thus, I need automation to read the record data at the time the trigger fires, and fetch the appropriate email addresses for inclusion into the email {to} field.We are on a pro account.  TIA

I have a column that has a list of counties and they all have the state abbreviations next to them. Is there a way to remove the abbreviations with a formula inside of airtable? 

Dear friends, I need again your help.I am creating a database in which I will add information about patients with a specific disease. In a main table, I will summarise the most relevant information about each patient, and each row will correspond to a patient (record) with a specific ID number. In another table called "visits" I will add data about all the outpatients visits (each per row with a specific date). Each patient on the first table can have more than 1 visit but each visit can be associated only with 1 specific patient. I correctly linked the 2 tables, and now in the main table, I can see all the visits for each patient. What I need to do now is to visualise in a field of the main table specific information contained in a specific field of the "visits" table. In detail, I need to visualize the status of the disease in the most recent visit of that specific patient (disease-free, progression, regression). I tried creating a rollup field and using the formula MAX(values)

I have had a form for the last few weeks that worked exactly as expected.  Today the linked fields in the form cannot be clicked to select from the list of linked records.  All the field settings in the underlying table and in the form itself appear correct.  I even tried creating a completely new form and the problem persists.  Here's a link to the live form:https://airtable.com/shr5M59mTF6jXrEUlAny ideas what's happening?EDITED TO ADD: I can add a new record directly into the underlying table with no issues - all fields work exactly as expected! 

Hi there,I'm experiencing a strange situation with a simple formula. Here's what i'm using:WORKDAY_DIFF({Date-test-1}, {Date-test-2})-1 I set date-test-1 to Today's date (Friday). If I set "Date-test-2" to next Monday, the result is correct: 1(Note that my dates are in european format) If I set it to next Friday, the result is correct: 5 It seems that it does it perfectly whenever Date test is a future date. I also want to calculate the working days between today and a past date, and here's where i'm getting strange results:Setting Date-test-2 to Yesterday, Thursday, the result is: -3, should be -1 Setting it to last Friday, the result is: -7, should be -5 Any explanation on why this is is happening? I could do an easy trick, and add +2 whenever the date is past, but I can't understand why this is happening, so i don't know if this fix would stay consistent. Thanks in advance! Javier  

I have recently been tasked with the goal to create an automation that allows the attaching of an extension result to an email. This extension lays out the information from an admin-only base into a pleasing format for people assigned to a certain job to be able to read the requirements for the job in a clear way. Is there a way for AirTable to take information from an extension (as in a file) and automatically place it into an automated email? Thanks!

I have a table with the fields "Title" and "Status". I want to automatically post to a Slack channel every 2 weeks, a list of the "Titles" that have had their "Status" fields updated to a particular value within the past two weeks. Currently, I can only generate a list of ALL the "Titles" with the particular "Status" value. How can I limit it to show only the recently updated ones? Do I need to write a script instead?

Hello, I'd like to add a filter to my running total script. I have a checkbox field and would like the script to only calculate the running total if the checkbox is checked. Any help appreciated.   let table = base.getTable('Resource Capacity Planning_Production'); let view = table.getView('Grid View'); let result = await view.selectRecordsAsync({fields: ['Pillar & Domain','FY Q2 23 - Demand (FTE)'], sorts: [ {field: 'Pillar & Domain'}, {field: "Stack Rank"}]}); let runningTotal = 0; let currentGrouping=''; for (let record of result.records) { if (currentGrouping !=record.getCellValueAsString('Pillar & Domain')) { currentGrouping=record.getCellValueAsString('Pillar & Domain'); runningTotal = 0 } runningTotal += record.getCellValue('FY Q2 23 - Demand (FTE)'); await table.updateRecordAsync(record, { 'TEST Running Demand': runningTotal, }); } 

I've got an events calendar and an automation set up so that event registrants will get an email 6 hours prior to an event, using a formula field and the TONOW formula:TONOW({Start})The automation sends an email when the formula field reads "6 hours".The trouble is, the field renders "6 hours" twice - once 6 hours before the event and again 6 hours after the event, so it triggers the automation to run again 6 hrs after the event.Can anyone recommend a better formula to get what I'm looking for here?Thanks!!!

Hello, I am still getting used to Airtable and am having trouble designing my tables and views. I am looking for some help from the community. Here's the scenario:I am trying to create a gallery view of approved real estate properties that I can share with my clients.Clients should be able to sort and filter the gallery view to help them find properties.The card view will show a couple fields but clients can click on the card to expand the record, to see all fields (with exceptions mentioned below).I have 2 people helping me search for real estate properties to add, so I want to create 2 forms for each of them to submit their properties for approval. The form for Person A and Person B will have the same fields except Person B's will have 3 extra fields.As the properties are submitted through the 2 forms, they end up in a grid view and their "Status" should be marked as "Pending" until I mark them as "Approved", at which point they should show up on the gallery view for clients.The

I have set up a form for clients to fill out. I want the information the clients give us to remain intact, so I am trying to create an automation that will copy over all the information from the form into a new record on a new table. Then once it's created a new record, we can go in and make corrections and adjustments.So far it's working fine except for number fields. I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong? We ask client the quantity for a product, they tell us. I want that field to be copied over in the new record. But when I select the "Quantity" field, it prompts me to enter a number instead of linking another field.I have experimented with changing the format of our "new record table" quantity field to "single line text" instead of number, and that weirdly lets me link the "quantity" field from the form. This is not that useful though because I need to do calculations with the number in the quantity field.Thanks in advance for any help! Attached is a screenshot of what I'm talkin

Hi dear community 🙂I try to build a crowdfunding platform for real estate using Airtable.Users can choose the project to invest in and make a payment.   I am able to see all users and in what project they invested in Here are all transactions users made The struggle is to pay every user based on the amount they invested in each project because each project has a different dividend % and users can invest in 2-3 different projects in different periods. I somehow need to add to their profile what they earn every month. Any ideas on how to make it a reality? 🙂 Thank you 🙂

Hi all, I have set up a gmail automation and am sending an ISO Date time to the email recipient. The date time that is sent is 4 hours ahead of what is entered in my table. Any ideas as to why this is happening?In the screenshot of the table view, I do not have a time zone set for date_ordered. I tried with the proper timezone configured as well and it still has the same issue.
