Solved

I had a formula that was working until this week and has now broken for some reason. I looked into the basics (did the field names for the formula change, synced fields change, anything like that) but literally nothing about the components of the formula broke, so I’m unsure why it’s now resulting in #ERROR rather than the result. Formula below, it’s honestly incredibly basic. Any ideas for simple things I could be missing? DATETIME_PARSE(ARRAYJOIN({Release Date_static}), ‘MM-DD-YYYY’) Where {Release Date_static} is a lookup of a single line text field with a date in ‘YYYY-MM-DD’ format.

How can I replace decimal number with two decimal places to hourly like number. 2.42 > 2:42h

Dear community, can two unrelated conditions live in the same formula? Do they need to connected by the same first argument? I want "Sample Availability to read “Shop only” when there is no value in “SignOutIcon” In writing it would be: If SignOutIcon contains no value, return “Shop only”. If SignOutDate contains a value and ReturnDate contains no value, return “not in stock”, otherwise “available” With first argument the same, it would be If SignOutIcon contains no value, return “Shop only”. If SignOutIcon contains a value and SignOutDate contains a value and ReturnDate contains no value, return “not in stock”, otherwise “available” I used “&” but this returned a mess: IF(AND({SignOutDate},NOT({SignOutComment})),“not in stock”,“available”) & IF(NOT({SignOutIcon}), “Shop only”, “available”) Could anyone give me a hint? Any help highly appreciated. Best, Sisi

Getting into formula’s a bit more as a novice lately, but struggling to get this one right. Anyone able to help me out on this one? What I want is to change the Multiple Select Field as per below. small instead of s average instead of a tall instead of t Was thinking in the direction of wrapping the exiting formula in a Switch( ) to change the select options small, average and tall to s, a and t for the the output.

Anyone can help me make a formula to write out the below numbers in a Single Line text field (A) that are styled like below, to full digits in a Formula Field (B)? Field A 1 10 100 1k 10k 100k 1.1k 10.1k 100.1k 1M 1.1M Etc. So far I’ve come up to this formula. But it’s very lacking. SUBSTITUTE( Views, REGEX_EXTRACT({Views}, "\.\d+k"), "00") It outputs 100 when its 1.7k and doesn’t work at all for entries like 1 to 999 and 1M upwards.

So I have a base with 2 tables - one containing the funding round details (FRD) which includes name of Startup, amount and investor And another table solely for investors - which I wish to import data from Investors column in FRD table. Now, the investor in FRD is input as a long text which is comma separated. I wanted the Investor table to automatically import this data from investor column - and import it into separate rows - with startup name on the side. I know something like linked record exists, but even there I have to manually select the investor - whereas I simply copy and paste data from the net, thats why I want the investor column data to automatically be imported in the other table. How can I make it happen? Sharing link for sample base for your reference, please guide. Airtable Airtable | Everyone's app platform Airtable is a low-code platform for building collaborative apps.

Hi all, I’ve been using Airtable for a few years and have finally decided to try my hand at writing a few scripts to streamline our workflow. I’ve coded a fair amount before but am new to JavaScript, so please excuse my ignorance. My current project is writing a script that will be called from a button field. This script will make a request to a taxonomic database, retrieve classification data for a single creature, and populate a series of self-linked columns within the table. I have a working script that gathers the data and reformats, but I’m stumbling across the last step of assigning data to the linked fields. Throws this error after the last line: Can’t set cell values: invalid cell value for field ‘kingdom’. Cell value has invalid format: must be an array. Linked records field value must be an array of objects with property ‘id’ corresponding to linked record id. I understand that the issue has to do with needing the data to be formatted as an array for linked fields, but I’m

I’ve been fighting this and researching long enough. here is what I currently have that doesn’t work: IF({Referral Name}}, “Field is Not Empty”),{Commission}{Referral %},"")* Explained: If Referral Name field is not blank or empty, Calculate Commission field multiplied by Referral % Otherwise, leave return a blank field. Help! :slightly_smiling_face:

Hello! I’m relatively new to Airtable, but I’ve been digging to figure out a solution and haven’t come across anything workable yet. What I’m trying to do is set up skill profiles that contain different proficiencies in each profile. Example: I have 2 skills, Reading and Writing. I have 2 profiles, Researcher and Author. I have a proficiency rating, 1-3. Researcher profile has Reading at a 3, Writing at a 1. Author has both Reading and Writing at a 2. Right now I have a table of skills and a table of profiles with skills linked to them, but no way that I can find to do unique proficiency in each profile. Is there a good way I could set something like that up? The biggest challenge is I’m creating this for about 40 different profiles containing different mixes of about 300 skills. I’ve a feeling it’s not a possibility or if it is, maintenance would be a bear.

I want to set an automation that duplicates a record every time the original record is updated to status DONE. But I’m finding trouble. How could I set for TOMORROW the DATE FIELD of the new record created by the automation?

Here’s my code: IF(AND(Stage=“Closed Won”,(DATETIME_DIFF({Created Date / Time},{Opportunity Close Date},‘days’)-1)<=0),1,IF(AND(Stage=“Closed Won”,(DATETIME_DIFF({Created Date / Time},{Opportunity Close Date},‘days’)-1)>0),DATETIME_DIFF({Created Date / Time},{Opportunity Close Date},‘days’)*-1,"")) The output is a number but in a text format (I can’t sum, avg, etc) and it’s formatting to the left of the column. I put Value() around the whole thing and I’m getting errors in the records when doing that. Created date: Date the record was created Opportunity Close Date: Date the record was marked closed won I want to be able to sum and avg etc the column. Any help?

Hello everyone… I have two tables, the KPI table and the Months table. Each row in the KPI table has a month that is in the Months table. I want every time there is a change in the status column to ‘A’ in the month table, the month column in the KPI table also changes. I have tried to use automation, step 1 ‘when a record is updated’ then step 2 ‘find record’ on KPI table which is stsrec is N and ‘Update records’ KPI table based on automation step 1 but the result failed. Any suggestions on how to create an automation to change multiple rows based on a single row change? Thank you for the response Pic Table KPI Pic Table Months Pic Automation

I would like to use a scripting automation to check if a record exists. i.e. Does John Doe exist already in the Name column? The results should be simply yes or no. I’m not great at scripting and am looking for some fast track help!

We’ve created an address book of sorts, and I could use your help in creating a dynamic single-select field. Here’s the scenario: We have two tables: (1) tbl_organizations and (2) tbl_individuals. Any given organization may (and often does) have multiple individuals linked to it. However, we’d also like to designate one of these individuals as the primary contact for the organization. Here’s it written out as an example: Depp Organization is a record in tbl_organizations. It is linked to 3 records in tbl_individuals (Bob, Sue, and Timmy). Foo Organization is a record in tbl_organizations. It is linked to 2 records in tbl_individuals (Sally and John). I would like a create a field in the tbl_organizations. This field will be called something like “PrimaryIndividual.” PrimaryIndividual will populate with the individuals linked to their organization record (but no other individuals). As an example, for Depp Organization, the options will be Bob, Sue, and Timmy whereas for Foo Organizatio

Hi! First of all, I am french so I hope you’ll understand my question. :hugs: I’d like to calculate how long has an employee been with the company, so : since entry date (fr: date d’embauche) until now/today. I already have a formula that calculates the number of years (fr: années) and another formula that calculates the number of months (fr: mois) but I’d like to have these informations in one formula. Is that possible ? Thanks !

Hey everybody, big Airtable fan here, we are managing a lot of processes for a concert venue with this awesome tool. Now we’re stuck with the following problem: People send data (some text fields, some attachments) via a form. This information is written into it’s own table (let’s call it “updates”). It can happen, that several people send different data to the same fields, for each submitted form a record is created. From “updates” this data is transferred into our “main table” via Automation UPDATE RECORD on trigger WHEN RECORD IS CREATED. We’ve also built a way to always keep the existing submitted informations if more is submitted to the same field by another form submission. So far so good. Uploaded Attachments can be JPG / PDF or similar, those shall be saved to the “main table” as well in the equivalent field. Now it’s getting tricky. As far as i have read it’s not possible to move the attachments from one table to another with an automation, so instead we are working with URL

Hello, Given: var Airtable = require('airtable'); var base = new Airtable({apiKey: 'YOUR_API_KEY'}).base('app6wt6DBFn40vPRg'); base('Project List').select({ // Selecting the first 3 records in Master List: maxRecords: 3, view: "Master List" }).eachPage(function page(records, fetchNextPage) { // This function (`page`) will get called for each page of records. records.forEach(function(record) { //do stuff }); fetchNextPage(); }, function done(err) { if (err) { console.error(err); return; } }); How can maxRecords be determined dynamically via an API call? Is this the only way? Get the number of records in a table via API API Yes, a webhook with a script action. Even with a very full table, this will run in about 5s, whereas, an API process might require 15 seconds or more and will slow even more at scale.

Hi All, I have a field which is pulling in from JIRA and displays like this: 154, 152, 157, 155 There could be more or less numbers. What I need is to create a new field which is the highest number in this field. (So it will display 157 in this case). The issue is the rollup feature is displaying 0. I assume this is because this is being viewed as text. Any ideas how to solve this? Cheers Simon

Hi guys, I have two tables. Table 1 is called Contacts (contains contact and deal information), Table 2 is called Questionnaire (contains a series of long text questions) and is linked to table 1. I want to set it up so that when a contact completes my questionnaire through the link I provide them, the data they have provided in the questionnaire form will be automatically attributed to their record in the Contacts table. I’m hoping that by doing this I will then be able to view the contact and from within the contact, open up their questionnaire responses. I have considered having them in the same table however the contacts table already holds a large amount of fields. Through my research of this issue I have found and followed a Airtable guide called “Use case: update records via a form”. From what I understand, this method uses a field in the Questionnaire form that is prefilled and labled “please do not change this portion of the form”. Unfortunately I cannot use this method as it

Hi Community, I want to use a formula to calculate the age of a product DATETIME_FORMAT(TODAY(),‘YYYY’) - {year produced} Some fields of {year produced} are empty, so the formula comes back as the age of 2022 years old. Is there some way to exclude the empty {year produced} fields? The year produced, has the number field type. Thanks in advance!

As the title says. How would this be written differently to avoid this error? My test environment only had 10 records, tonight was its first scheduled automation run and it grabbed 95 records for this process. // After Club Automations let table = base.getTable(“Children”) let view = table.getView(“Present”); let query = await view.selectRecordsAsync ({ fields:[“Pts this week”, “Spent Today”, “Total Spent”, “Points”, “Attendance”, “Last Club”], sorts: [ {field: “Pts this week”}, ] }); let totes = 0; let today = new Date() for (let record of query.records){ // Multiply 'Pts this week" by 10, add to ‘Points’, Subtract 'Spent Today, write new total to “Points” field totes = 10 * Number(record.getCellValueAsString("Pts this week")); totes = totes + record.getCellValue("Points") - record.getCellValue("Spent Today"); await table.updateRecordAsync(record, {"Points": totes}); // Add ‘Spent today’ to ‘Total Spent’ and clear ‘Spent today value’ totes = record.getCellValue("Spent Today") + recor

I am trying to automate the calculation of an award based on an age category (“PVSA Age Group”) and a number of hours volunteered (“Total PVSA Hrs.”) (see chart). I think I need nested IF statements with an AND, but not sure. It’s not working so far (because I have a day job hello.) I need an output based on these two variables. Here is the first part of my formula, attacking only the second row (we have no contenders for KID category in the first row, just the remaining 3 rows): IF( AND( {PVSA Age Group}=“Teens”, {Total PVSA Hrs}<50 ), “No award” ) & IF( AND( {PVSA Age Group}="Teens”, {Total PVSA Hrs}<=74 ), “Bronze” )& IF( AND( {PVSA Age Group}="Teens”, {Total PVSA Hrs}<= 99 ), “Silver” ), “Gold” That doesn’t work. Once I get it working, I need to figure out how to concatenate the other two rows (for different age categories.). Do I eliminate the subsequent AND statements, to save them for the concatenation?

I have used this formula to separate data that is simple 4 letter abbreviations and it works perfectly. However, the data is also associated with dates and times that I need to separate and have readable and separate in an email automation. When I use the above method, the dates (which read fine in their native field) come out looking like this Has anyone run into this before or have a solution?
