NPO TEAM ACCOUNT (just to let folks know)So I love having master sync tables and create views off them for different usages in a base.For example: I have a common base for State and Country, absolutely love this, and use it across a lot of our bases for different purposes.In our CRM we use it for Contact, Company, Communities, Speaker/Facilitator Bureau, Charity Compliance, and Grants tables.  There are some privacy requirements, and access controls that we have in place.I have set a VIEW -  States, just for lookup that does not show ANY other fields except the STATES field.So why if the view doesn’t show any of the other fields (where it is being used in the other tables) why does the individual record show. And then when I open it up - I see all the other areas I really don’t want some of my team messing with.Have I missed how to not show the other tables?Yes, I know I could make an interface but some of us like to work in a different manner, and bulky block interfaces are not our th

Hi guys, I'm trying to connect Airtable with Make. My Make.com module is returning "Status Code Error: 403" and I can't connect up my Airtable. I initially had it working and then created some new bases, so I generated a new Personal Access Token. Not working. Have tried different permissions. Logging out, logging in (I know). Etc.  Any suggestions?

I’m exporting data to a pdf via Typeflow. One of the fields is a Link to multiple records, which happen to be street addresses.  When I export the data to a pdf, the default view is to separate each linked record by a comma.  I’m trying to create a line break instead of a comma.   I created a formula field with SUBSTITUTE(Addresses,”,”,”\n), however the street addresses contain commas, so this didn’t work. Any ideas for another work around?   Huge thanks in advance.  Current format:Record 1, Record 2, Record 3 Desired format:Record 1Record 2Record 3etc

Oh hello there! I am working with a team that is developing a base to capture competitor profiles. Within the base we have an organizational overview tab, contacts tab, program information tab, and a SWOT Analysis tab where we'd like to fill out the data on the competitors' strengths (from a drop down), weaknesses (from a drop down), opportunities (from a drop down), and threats (from a drop down) (among a few other things unnecessary to mention). What I'd like to do is have a matrix template that will pull in those selected drop down items and look something like the below for each organization/competitor. Would the matrix or page design extension be best for this? Might there be a better tool? I have some serious beef with the page design view and how limited it is - or perhaps in my case, just not intuitive enough to be impactful. Any ideas would be incredibly welcome. Thank you!

I have two table A and B, table A has product status variable that tracks the different phases of product and helps with different views to see specific inventory. Table A is also linked to table B, I would like to be find a way to edit table A’s status field from B once I am done processing it instead of manually going to A to change it. so far I couldn’t find a way to change. any advise is highly appreciate. 

Hi all, I have a base that date and timestamps new records. But since I had to import thousands of records from an old spreadsheet, it doesn’t correctly reflect the original date/time in the CREATED TIME field. So I created a field called DATE + TIME - MANUAL that is a date field that has the original submitted dates for the old records. All future records will get a submitted date/time in the DATE + TIME - AUTOMATIC field. In a third field called DATE + TIME SUBMITTED, I need to use a formula to say that, for a new record, if the DATE + TIME SUBMITTED - MANUAL field is blank, to use the data in the DATE + TIME SUBMITTED - AUTOMATIC field, but using this formula doesn’t bring in the data from the automatic field if the manual field is blank:IF(NOT(BLANK({Date + Time Submitted - Manual})),      {Date + Time Submitted - Manual},      {Date + Time Submitted - Automatic})Am I doing something incorrectly? Or is there a better way to achieve this? In the end, I just need to have a date field

I have an existing table with 800+ records (imported from a CSV). Now, I’d like to add an image for each record (import from a folder of PNGs–with matching file names). Is there a way to do this in bulk? Example Records: Name, Type1, Type2, Image Abomasnow, Grass, Ice, [to add: abomasnow.png] Aerodactyl, Rock, Flying, [to add: aerodactyl.png] Aggron, Steel, Rock, [to add: aggron.png] etc.

In my Contacts table I have 2 types (single-select) - “non-profit” and “legal” - and a linked record field to a Requests table. The Request record has two Lookup fields pointing to Contacts - one a lookup filtered by a view of nonprofit-type only, the other filtered by a view of legal-type only.  This is so my user can quickly distinguish the two types assigned to the request.Now, I add 1 contact to each of the two fields in the Request. I would expect to see both Contacts linked to that Request. But the only Contacts shown as linked to that request are those entered in the first (“nonprofit”) column. If I force a “legal” contact into that first Request column, It shows up as expected on the Contact side.I’m not understanding something about how linked records work. How should I structure the linkages between these fields across the two tables?  thx 

Hello, I am trying to use a lookup field from another sheet.  It seems that I can only search by the primary field, not by the field I have selected as the source.  For example:Sheet 1 - Primary field: Job #Job #: 1234Job Name: Sheet 2Lookup field in sheet 1 - Job Name: (I can search for Job # (1234), but not by job name. Is there a way to fix this or work around?

I have it set so that users can change the sort order in a grid view interface, but how can I set the default sort order that is displayed when the view is accessed?  The interface is embedded into a website for public viewing, and I can’t figure out how to set the default order to be a logical one for most viewers.  Suggestions?

Hello!I am running into an issue where the field count is almost maxed out on two tables in my base and I need the ability to add more fields. In both of the tables, there are many fields that are used for reporting/stats. I considered moving all of those fields to another table but it’s not quite working out.I do closing coordination for real estate agents. The two tables in question are the Properties table and Contacts table.The Properties table has records for each contract. The Contacts table has records for each of my agents. Each property record is linked to the agent for that contract in the Contacts table. Reporting in the Properties table is done based on the agent for things like properties under contract, properties closed X amount of days ago, etc. Reporting in the Contacts table is done based on the agent using rollup/formula fields that reference the Properties table for things like average sales price over X periods, commission totals over X periods, etc.In the new tabl

Hi there - I am building some interfaces for my team that collects data in one table that is linked back to another table and I’d like the team to be able to update both in 1 page. Here’s a hypothetical scenario: I have a table of Owners who are all in my dog training class. The Owner table lists all of the things about the owner. I also have a table that has a list of every Dog in my class with information about them. Many Owners have multiple Dogs and I want to associate the Dogs to the Owner. My real-world example is a lot more complicated with hundreds of records. I want to keep my team from bouncing around multiple tables and manually linking records so am hoping to be able to design an interface page that allows them to add new data to another, linked table. I have a script running right now that essentially asks “enter # of dogs” then “create that many blank records in the Dog table” and then “Link those blank records to the Owner Table.” I feel like there’s an easier way… A but

I've set up a very basic automation: Trigger=when a form is submitted; Action=Google Sheets: Append a new row to a spreadsheet. The automation is working correctly, EXCEPT for the fact that the new row is appended at the TOP of the spreadsheet (i.e., row 1, above the header row) instead of at the bottom of the spreadsheet (i.e., under existing rows of data). Is there a way to specify that new rows should be appended at the bottom, below existing rows?Thanks! Heidi

Hello, I am working with inventory management database. I have two different tables where both have unique UPCs and a status selection. I am creating a third table that will only display products from both tables that are ready for sale i.e status is “Listed”. I have created an automation that checks when status is changed to “listed” then find if that UPC doesn’t exist in product table then create a new field with that UPC. I run into duplicate entry problem. *** when I change a product to listed it will pop up in products list which is what I want but when I change the status to something else and then change it back to “listed” it will create a duplicate field which is not what I expect.***  No matter who much I played around with different conditions and values in find section of automation I still couldn’t figure it out. 

I know there has to be a easier way that writing out a huge if/else We are collecting Birthdates - Got thisWe parse the birthdate against today’s date to get an age - Got this workingWe currently have single select field called Age Bracket that contains the following options to select one based on the AGE field Under 2121- 29 30 - 3940 - 4150 - 5160 - 6170 - 7180+I am working transitioning the manual step of the team is having to do - to select the correct age bracket for the age result (For our Demographics)Thank you in advance for answering how to do this. Cause for some reason my brain just isn’t seeing this the way it needs to.

Hey guys, I have been seeing this “field color” option on list and grid elements in interfaces. Was wondering if anyone knows how it works? The pop out asks for field configurations, but I have yet to have a field that matches whatever configuration it’s looking for. Is this something up coming or am I just using it wrong? Let me know.  Thanks!

Hi -  I’m building a project and resource management AirTable for an agency. As a part of this I’d like to be able to show scoped hours against actual worked hours per person per project. As an agency that frequently has a variety of different people working on a variety of projects there has to be some flexibility built into this.  Setting up a scoped hour table per project is simple. Having actual hours that the team enter in rollup  filter by project is easy. Having actual hours filter by person is easy. The issue is filtering by both teammate and project.  Thank you for any help!  

Hello,I want to calculate the length between a start and an end date. Seems easy, but the result is wrong for the fields that came from a lookup field.Below a screenshot from my base and my calculations.Here an explanation:Start Date = automatically set as record is created, formatted as “European” End Date = calculation, depending on how my record ended. This calculation is correct, so nothing wrong here. The format is set to “European”  Date moved to fridge = manually selected from calender End date option 2 = lookup field (original field is date that the record was created) End date option 3 = lookup field (original field is date that the record was created) Total days = wrong calculation: formula: DATETIME_DIFF({End Date}, {Start Date}, 'days') format: number Result is correct for manually selected date in date format Result is wrong or NAN for lookup date Who can help me fix this issue?Thank you! screenshot from my basecalculation for my end date, gives corre

Hey, I wonder how can I see or extract the database diagram of my base that I built here in Airtable. I there an easy way to do that? (the alternative hard way is to edit something in an external tool like https://dbdiagram.io/d) Regards.

The new feature shown here is not working for my interfaces. Is it not yet released to all?  

My table includes three date fields: Joined, Separated, and Date Rejoined, along with two formula fields: Prior Years and Total Years of Service.I’ve now added two additional fields: Date Separated 2 and Prior Years 2, to account for members who have separated and rejoined more than once. Some members join, then separate, later rejoin, and eventually separate again. I need to accurately track their total time as active members, excluding any periods when they were separated.The original formula for Total Years of Service worked well—until I had to include a second separation date.Here is the formula that worked originally but now I need to take into account the second separated date.If anyone can rewrite this for me, I would be grateful. I am not good at formulas. IF(AND({Date Rejoined}, {Separated}, {Joined}), DATETIME_DIFF({Separated}, {Joined}, 'days') + DATETIME_DIFF(TODAY(), {Date Rejoined}, 'days'), IF(AND({Joined}, {Separated}), DATETIME_DIFF({Separated}, {Joined}, 'days'), IF({

For some reason, ALL of my automations across ALL of my bases are stalling on the Scripting Block step and I don’t know why… I’m pretty sure this is an Airtable outage issue, but I’m curious if others are also seeing the same thing.  I’ve tried contacting Airtable support and it seems to go nowhere… super frustrated...

I am currently on the Team Plan. The first day I created my webhook trigger automations they worked fine. Now they will only work and create a new record if I manually click on “Run Test”. Automation is turned on and webhook is triggering. Am I missing a setting?

Hola a todos, estoy creando formularios de ingreso de datos sin embargo me encuentro con el problema de que las celdas multivariables y los links records no son capaces de por ejemplo asociar 5 profesores a 5 roles y 5 asignaturas.Estoy intentando hacerlo a través de scripts y automatizaciones sin embargo no he podido lograrlo, alguién tiene alguna sugerencia de como abarcar este problema? La idea es ahorrarle tiempo al digitador de datos, y para esto lo mas optimo que he encontrado es generar un formulario que contenga toda la información correspondiente y con automatizaciones completar las demás tablas, pero cuando hay que agregar varios registros al mismo tiempo y estos deben asociarse a otras variables no he podido lograrlo. Por otro lado tampoco quiero generar 100 columnas en caso de tener que inscribir a 100 personas. Saludos,  

Hi - I have a project management and resource tracker AirTable built. I’d like to be able to look at how many hours someone worked in a previous week. Currently I have a rollup from “time entries” to “team” filtered by a formula within time entries that calculates if a time entry was within the last 7 days. But, leadership would like to review this information on (mostly) Thursdays for the previous calendar week. I’m not able to simply adjust the number of days as leadership may look at this information on a Wednesday or Friday.  Is there a way to calculate this information?  Thanks!
