Hello Can someone give me an advice? Sorry, but my english is not great to explain everything as I want. For a restaurant, I have recipes, with ingredients, and they came for vendors. What is best? 3 bases linked, or just 1 base with everyting? The 3 bases, that look logical to me, are: recipes, inventory, and vendors. recipes, with photo and calcs to estimate costs inventory, to track ingredients costs from different vendors, quantities in stock, and reorders vendors, where I can see their ingredients, with their contacts, and track the payments Ingredients is the only thing that must equal in all the 3 bases. But I never did any base, so maybe I’m thinking wrong. Thanks in advance

Hello, I made a script to query a API and update current rankings of records. I have a test table with 5 records and 1 is a empty record. See screenshot for my test table: code: //set the variables let api_key = '{apikey}'; let table = base.getTable('tesdata'); let query = await table.selectRecordsAsync({fields: table.fields}); for (let record of query.records) { let domain = record.getCellValueAsString('Website'); let zoekterm = record.getCellValue('Zoekterm'); let country = record.getCellValue('Land'); let gl=country; let hl=gl; if(gl=='co.uk'){ gl='uk'; hl='en'; } else if (gl=='com'){ gl = 'us'; hl = 'en'; } //build the api call variables var url = 'https://serpapi.com/search?q='+encodeURIComponent(zoekterm)+ '&gl='+gl+'&hl='+hl+'&output=rank:'+domain+'&google_domain=google.'+country+'&num=100' + '&api_key=' + api_key; console.log(url); var requestOptions = { method: 'GET', }; //build the api call variables //m

Hello, I have a problem with data manipulation when grouping records on a date range. Each record has a date and a time, (they are cash receipts linked to a cash register). Of course I have multiple records per day. I want to group these records by day and verify the data via another table (the cash register verification table). To group my records on a date range I have no problem (I used formulas of type DATETIME_FORMAT(Date, "DD/MM/YYYY ")). On the other hand I want to use the sum of each day and link this sum in another table of my database and I can’t do it with the rollup because it considers the records unique and not grouped. In short, on the one hand I have customers who buy, and on the other hand I want to do a data validation on the totals of several columns per day and this without having to link via a rollup each record of each customer. Thanks for your help.

Hello, My name is Teddy, I’ve been using Airtable for 3 months (I’m a beginner). I read community topics and it helps me regularly. But today I need help please. I want to use a trigger for a junction script. The script works when I run it manually (with the settings) but I cannot configure it directly in the tool. Can anyone help me?

Hi everyone, I have a fairly complex base tracking financials, burn rate, and runway. I have run into a snag trying to come up with a formula that will automatically update based on what month of the FY we are in (for burn rate). For example, I have a table specifically for burn rate. If I want to see our burn rate YTD, I have to manually update the formula with the current month (burn rate = (starting balance-ending balance/# of months)). Starting balance - ending balance is an easy part but currently I need to manually update the divisor (our FY is from Jan to Dec, so right now I am dividing it by 8.5). How can I get it to update automatically? Can anyone help?

Here’s my scenario: Every day I make a plan, I screenshot the plan and put it in a ‘plan’ table Every day I might make 3 trades, each of which are stored in another ‘trades’ table I have an interface where I review my daily ‘daily review’ table I would like to include in my ‘daily review’ interface, a grid showing all the trades for the day (so the daily review’ interface would need to list trades with the same date as is on the daily review table/interface. Each day could have many trades. But a specific trade can only belong to one date. I am not sure how I can do this. Can anyone help?

Hey all, I’ve been happy with my JavaScript progress but have hit a bit of a roadblock this morning, hopefully it’s an easy one. I’m parsing records with a matching string Name field - in this example “Tropical :palm_tree: ”. Then, from each returned record, I’m then filtering out any records where “myLinkedField” field is null. From the four records found, we return the three with Colours. What I’m now trying to achieve is to grab the array of linked “Colours” Record Ids found in the remaining filtered records (3 in total) - which I can do, but not in the desired return structure. My filter/map code returns the correct data, but I’m needing help to massage it into a simple array that I can then use to stamp into the original record after deleting the duplicates. //Tropical 🌴 De-dupe let table = base.getTable("Themes"); let themeQuery = await table.getView("Amazing Themes").selectRecordsAsync({ fields: ["Theme Name","Created","Colours"], sorts: [ {field: "Created

Hello I need some help with the Rollup, I have two tables: Points Tracker and Members In the Points Tracker table, there are 3 columns: Member Email, Event Name, Points. Whenever someone joins an event, we get their email and the name of the event that they joined and based on the event name they got different points. Same people can join multiple events and collect points from each event such as: first @gmail.com - Event1 - 15 Points second @gmail.com - Event1 - 15 Points first @gmail.com - Event 2 - 10 Points The Members table has two columns: Member Email and Points What I’m trying to do is to feed the Members table back with the sum of the Points a member got looking at the Points Tracker table: first@gmail.com - 25 Points I used Roll Up in the Members table but I need to manually select the related records anytime there is a new record in the Points Tracker table. For example, in order to deduct 25 points for the first member, I manually selected first@gmail.com - Event1 - 15 Poin

Hello! I am trying to make a formula based on an IF statement. IF one cell = something, then perform this formula. For example, IF( {Frequency}, ‘Annual’,({Cost/12})) I would like to have multiple “IF” statements & formulas. Is this possible?

I have several linking records that involve student teachers, what school they are working in, and what times they are teaching. What I want to do is compare one student’s availability with another student’s availability. I started with this: But I would like it to look something like : I thought about using a formula on my first table to create the information : ` IF(Student=“Student 1”, “Yes”, “No”) However, that returns “No” for everything. How do I set this up so that I can compare two or three students’ availability while eliminating all the extra information? For instance, if want to compare student 1 or student 3, I don’t want to see student 2’s information. (I am actually dealing with 12 students on 5 different days.)

Hi, One of the things I am trying to automate is sending an email with an attachment. This attachment is the latest file available in a dropbox folder, that would be uploaded as soon as its available. Here’s an overview of what I am trying to do: New file is available in dropbox folder > File is uploaded and added to attachment column in airtable base > Status of row changes to send > Custom email is sent to set email. This seems possible, but I am stuck at understand how to let airtable know that new file is available. How would you create this?

Hi there! I’m not a developer but I trying to write a script. Please tell me if is possible to use a variable to define the field name inside updateRecordAsync method. await table.updateRecordAsync(record, {"Phone": value}) the method accepts variables for “record” and for field “value” but I want to use a variable for “Phone” (without quote marks) like the example below: let fieldName = "Phone"; await table.updateRecordAsync(record, {fieldName: value}); I want to let users set up fieldName using input.config Please help. :pray:

If you create a template in Airtable Universe and someone signs up and registers with Airtable for the first time because of your template, do you receive referral attribution for this new user sign up? I think this would be fair, and a great incentive for users to create ultra high quality templates and then publicly promote them on their social media, courses, marketing, email signatures, etc…

Just a small thing, but the change your password flow is a bit odd. If I see two boxes, I expect the first to be ‘current password’ (for validation) and the second to be ‘new password’. Either that, or they’re both ‘new password’ with the second as a confirmation. Airtable has it backwards! ‘New password’ then ‘current password’. This is odd, and caused me to go in circles. Of course I could just be an idiot but this could be a lot clearer.

Hi everyone! I’m new to learning how to use the deeper aspects of Airtable and how to use linked records. The problem I’m having … I have a multi-question survey, and am trying to calculate the percentage that people answered a question “yes”. However, some people skipped the question, so I need to remove these from the % calculation. My goal is to determine what percentage of responses were “yes” from those who actually responded. I tried by making a lookup table for each question that would only show answers yes/no (so no blank answers), and then the formula COUNTALL ({my lookup field name}) to first tell me how many responded, but I am not getting the correct answer. Does anyone have recommendations for how to solve this? Thank you I

What are the reasons you would create an additional (new) base for your company’s info rather than store it in another table? We have a lot of info to track but I’m struggling with when to know what belongs in the same base, and what calls for its own base. For example, we have 2 separate production divisions that handle the same kind of work, just on different types of accounts. Clients Jobs per Client Projects per Job that can utilize different internal teams Deliverables for each project Tasks that add up to the delivery/completion of a Deliverable Regarding the users… There is a leadership team above these divisions with the need to see data from both divisions rolled up into one place. This makes me think Division A and B’s work should all happen in the same base. For the most part, the team members within each division are not shared with the other division (although this could change in the future). For this reason, I tend to think Division A and Division B should be in

Table 1 is a list of clients with attributes. The table is as follows: | Company Name | Contacted? | … | … | | Company A | :green_circle: | … | … | Table 2 is a list of interactions with clients The table is as follows: | Contact person | Company Name | … | … | | Jeffe Bezos | Company A | … | … | Company A in both tables are matched together (as in I select from the drop down list the Company Name in Table 2). How would I make the “Contacted?” column in Table 1 automatically add this green emoji, if Table 2 has a match of the Company?

I currently have this: DATETIME_FORMAT({Date of donation}, ‘M/D/YYYY’) & “—” & IF({On behalf of corporation?}, {Donor’s employer}, Donor) I have another field named “Member Donor”. If the Donor field is blank then I want it to pull the Member Donor field.

Hi everyone. We all know the script in the airtable scripting examples to create a running total. The script below is as such: // change these names to pick a view: let table = base.getTable('Marketing'); let view = table.getView('Grid view'); let result = await view.selectRecordsAsync(); let runningTotal = 0; for (let record of result.records) { // change the field names here to adapt this script to your base runningTotal += record.getCellValue('Amount'); await table.updateRecordAsync(record, { 'Running Total': runningTotal, }); } The issue with the script is that it takes the running total from the previous row and adds the number of the current row to create the running total for the current row. I was wondering if there was a way to filter based on linked records. That is: for the current record, you only add the current number to the sum of running totals of linked records. Would anyone know how to do this?

Trying to make a post request to Notion to create a new page. Receiving an Error 400 Bad Request and can’t find the issue. Here’s the documentation - Create a page and script below let payload = { 'parent': { "type": "page_id", "page_id": "my page id" }, 'properties': { "Name": { "type": "title", "title": [{ "type": "text", "text": { "content": "My Page Title" } }] } } }; let response = await remoteFetchAsync(postUrl, { method: 'POST', body: JSON.stringify(payload), headers: { 'Notion-Version': '2022-06-28', 'Content-Type': 'application/json', 'Authorization': `Bearer ${apiKey}`, }, }); output.text('**POST RESPONSE**' + ' - ' + response.status)

I’m have some datetime fields that I’m trying to format down to isolate the time. However, I’m seeing that there are some glitches with how the time renders based on time zone. My source datetime field is formatted to PDT, but the output appears to be GMT. I don’t see a way to correct this because switching the datetime field to GMT for all collaborators produces bogus times that cannot be used for local dates. Is there an operator to add in the formula that corrects the glitch from the source datetime field, or is there a way to “lock-in” the time in the base so that GMT doesn’t muck things up?

I’m using a “record review” layout in interface designer to allow our team to review categories assigned to objects. I can’t seem to make the category field editable in the interface, even though I have no trouble with this for other fields. I’m wondering if you just can’t do that for lookup fields? Background: We have a table with all the items in our system. We also have a form that allows our wider team (who do not have airtable accounts) to assign categories to those items, then a lookup field in the main table to display those category assignments. We want the internal team to be able to use an interface to approve and, if needed, revise the category assignments. I am hoping that the interface can display all the items in the main table, whether they’ve been assigned categories or not, so I picked the record review layout and connected it to the main item table. I can display the category field (which is a lookup field connected to the form table), but I can’t make it editable. An

Hi everyone, I’m working on a table where there are two checkbox fields (yes and no) for each record (employee). I would like to track the total number checked on each checkbox field from all the records. So the total amount of yes and no selected by the employees. There are 100 records (employees) in total. Does anyone have a way to achieve this? Thanks for the help! -S

I saw that there was no solution to this in early 2021 (Is there a way to check if a script is run from a button field or the script app itself?). How about now?
