Hi, I want to remove the text “project to archive” in my primary field. Can I do this with a formula? This is a primary field, I don’t know if that’s an issue?

Hi! I’ve just started using Airtable, and I had a question about using an automation to change something. Right now, I would like for my completion date field to change to the current date/time once the state field is changed to “done”, but the only trigger that is there in the automation menu would trigger regardless of what the state has changed to. Would there be a way to do this with automations or would I have to find an alternate way to execute this?

Individuals in my organization have shared some bases with me which show up in the Bases Shared With Me workspace, but I would like to move them to different Workspaces that correspond with the topic of the shared bases. I do not see how to move a Based from Shared With Me to other workspaces.

Since a few days, all my items in calendar view are viewed as a one hour item. Even if they were noted for a longer duration before. Usually I could extend the duration by drag the item at the bottom. This is now impossible. There is an end date and time set, but even with an end time longer as an hour noted, the item stays as one hour. In the expand view I can see the end time and it’s longer than one hour. This is most annoying since some items have a duration of a whole day, and I need to see that so I know that I can’t plan anything else that day.

Hey Community! I am working on multiple DBs for integrating clients into a shared DB universe. I am working on a menu ordering system for a ghost kitchen. Is there a way to update the form UI to include the relevant information from the record. Right now for an external user it only shows the formula ID(menu category, size, price) It excludes the descriptor and other relevant info we may attempt to include (photos from a gallery view) Any advice? Cheers

Hello, I have 1 single select field called “Status”. This Status field has the following options: Awaiting Information (Outreach 1) Awaiting Information (Outreach 2) Awaiting Information (Outreach 3) On Hold Each of these options has its own date field connected to an automation that date-stamps when the option is selected in Status. Outreach 1 Date Outreach 2 Date Outreach 3 Date On Hold Date I need 1 formula that returns a date with the following considered: If Status = Awaiting Information (Outreach 1), add “2” business days to Outreach 1 Date. If Status = Awaiting Information (Outreach 2), add “2” business days to Outreach 2 Date. If Status = Awaiting Information (Outreach 3), add “3” business days to Outreach 3 Date. If Status = On Hold, add “30” business days to On Hold Date. This is what I’ve tried so far with the first 3 dates conditions: IF(Status=“Awaiting Response (Outreach 1)”,DATEADD({Outreach 1 Date},2,‘days’)) & IF(Status=“Awaiting Response (Outreach 2)”,DATEAD

Hi all! I’m trying to create a %Complete column in a project table that includes several single-select fields used to track 1. whether or not a particular team has tasks associated with the project, and 2. what that team’s progress is on those tasks if so. I’m thinking what I need to do is create a formula column for each one of these, assigning a number to the values selected, a column that totals these up, and a column that calculates the % complete by dividing the total complete by the total that needs to be complete. Maybe use the SWITCH formula to assign numeric values? I just don’t know how to set up conditional formulas that complex at this point. Can anyone help me? Thanks very much!

I want to sync two tables to another base. If I sign up for Pro and decide to go back to Plus or Free what happens to my data? In the destination I would have two synced tables and one other table. In that third table, I would be linking data from the sync tables. Will the data in the 3rd table that came from those synced tables disappear if I downgrade? Or will the sync tables still be there with data, just unable to sync anything new to them? Thanks, Stacey

Thank you so very much for your kind help!! I’m hours deep into trying to figure this out and feel like I’m stranded on a raft in the middle of the ocean with no land in sight. Here’s my head-scratcher… In one base, we have 4 tables. The first 4 cells in every record are identical across all 4 tables. After that, the field types and data changes for the remainder of the record. (We do production, so it’s the same 4 product details for each record on every table, and the different tables break down tasks for the same product at its 4 different phases of development.) What I want to happen is that on the first table, when I enter new data in the first 4 cells, that same data is automated to magically appear on the next 3 tables. The reasons I’m going mildly nuts: What should I set the automation at so that whenever I enter new data into the first 4 cells they automatically populate on the next 3 tables? (I know how to link them, but I still have to manually go and select them on the

I’ve imported a CSV where one of the columns contains 2 dates. Like this: 8/23/21 - 11/6/21 In order for me to create a time line I’m thinking I need to create 2 additional fields (one for each date). I know I need to use FIND to tell the formula to find the “-” and work from there, I just don’t know how. Can some one please help me?

Good Afternoon! I am a Learning Design Coach for a public K-12 virtual school. I am attempting to move our registration process over to Airtable. Is there a way using filters (or any other way) to create views based on alpha order. So I need a view that shows all of the records in which a student last name starts with an A as well as all other letters up to L. Thanks ahead of time! Dan

Hai everyone, how to write formula on primary key column to capture Recorded time. I know there is column with type created time, but for primary key I’m not using so I think will be better if use for recorded time but with formula Thank you

Hello All! Sorry for the extremely general topic… but I feel like I might be missing something… I have a team of employees and we work in a distribution business. I am trying to create a unified platform so that my employees can enter information regarding quotes and pricing. I am somewhat familiar with database structure, so the mechanics of creating the application are fairly clear to me. The piece that I feel I am missing is this: Is there a way to create a user-friendly input method without giving users access to all of the backend mechanics? My concern is (from past experience), users will tend to enter things in the wrong fields or overwrite data accidentally. Other applications I have used (AppSheet, most recently), separate the backend data from the UX components. Is there something similar with Airtable? Do I need to use a 3rd party application in order for users to enter / interact with data? I have tried using the “Interfaces”, which are very nice, but my understandin

I’m building a content marketing tracker and I’d like to be able to add an analytics and reporting status which automatically triggers 30 days after a piece of content is marked as published. What would be the best way to handle this in an automation?

Good Day! I was wondering if I could get some help with a scenario: In the scenario a particular individual could have multiple records linked to them within another table. In the scenario let’s use contracts as an example. 1 individual could have multiple contracts with start and end dates, along with an attachment. In the “Master” table we can quite easily look up the Start and End Dates based on a MAX(VALUE), but my question is this: How would I go about linking THAT SPECIFIC contract to the given dates without showing all other contracts?

I have the Pro Plan via a recent upgrade. Previously under this Pro Plan I added and used the Nobull app. Today I discovered that the Nobull app is deactivated. When I try to add it again, I am told “This app is available on the Pro Plan” and that an upgrade is required. I have encountered the same issue when trying to add another app. I understand that this post is a support request best sent via a direct contact to Airtable. I did so, but hoping for any comments as I await Airtable’s response. Thanks!

I’m creating a custom app which uses a date input field. My computer clock is set to GMT+2, ie my time is 2 hours later than GMT. When I toggle the GMT setting on the date field, the local time appears 2 hours behind the GMT time when using record.getCellValue: Local date time (GMT setting off): ‘2022-01-01T10:04:00.000Z’ GMT date time (GMT setting on): ‘2022-01-01T12:04:00.000Z’ I can’t understand why the local time is earlier than gmt when it should be later. Also, I can’t understand why the local datetime string is being formatted as a utc datetime string, as this doesn’t follow ISO8601. When I use record.getCellValueAsString, it returns the string ‘1/1/2022 12:04pm’, regardless of the gmt setting. I notice that the datetime string returned by the REST API seems to change in the same way as record.getCellValue, even though the docs say that only a utc datetime string is returned. Any help/insights appreciated.

I’m trying to use DATETIME_FORMAT to format a date calculated by a formula to the way I want it to be displayed. I have to use DATETIME_FORMAT rather than the settings button because I’m inserting it into an automated email, which defaults to YYYY-MM-DD format instead of the settings. It seems like this should be possible but I keep getting an error. Here’s my current formula: DATETIME_FORMAT((DATEADD(TODAY(),14, “days”), ‘DD-MM-YYYY’) The center formula DATEADD(TODAY(),14, “days”) works properly on its own, so I know it’s something about adding the formatting piece. Is it possible to do this in one formula?

Hi everyone, Please advise how to create a formula for a field (let’s call it “CityCount”), which would automatically display the number of records in this table which have the same value in the field “City” as a current record? Here is an example: there are 3 records in the table with City=London, thus each of the record should have CityCount=3. If I add one more record with City=London, then each of such records would get updated with field CityCount=4. Any help or ideas appreciated!

Hi all, I am trying to adapt a script from postman where I successfully tested my API call. My issue is that the API secret key needs to be encrypted when I send the request but this requires Crypto-js. Is there a workaround available in Airtable scripting block to make this work: var CryptoJS = require('crypto-js') // the Authorization header needs to have this very particular format, which the server uses to validate the request // the access key is provided for the server to retrieve the API key; the signature is encrypted with the secret key var hmacString = (method + '\n' + onNonce + '\n' + authDate + '\n' + headers.get('Content-Type') + '\n' + path + '\n' + queryString + '\n').toLowerCase(); var signature = CryptoJS.enc.Base64.stringify(CryptoJS.HmacSHA256(hmacString, secretKey)); var asign = 'On ' + accessKey + ':HmacSHA256:' + signature; headers.append('Authorization', asign); For reference the above code is from here : onshape-clients/postman at master · onshape-publ

Hi all, I use the phone field a lot in my tabs but I don’t live in the US and so what I get is a very odd and inconvenient formatting of my clients phone numbers. For instance I want to call a french number which should be formatted as follow : 06 01 23 45 67 it shows in Airtable as (060) 123 45-67. When I’m using the app on my phone I can just click but I’m also making a lot of calls from my office. So I manually type numbers and the formatting is very distracting and I always have to double check before making a call. My collaborators have the same problem and while it doesn’t look like much it adds up to a lot of lost time. Is there a way to change the number formatting ? My iphone does it automatically as I type numbers in so i’m a bit surprised that I can’t do it on Airtable. Thanks for your input.

Hi! I have a sort of complicated situation and I’ve been able to figure out what i need to do, but not the way to actually accomplish it. I have a base with three tables in it: Jotform (A) | Supplies (B) | Split Requests (C) Table A is bringing in responses, Table B is a list of every unique item that has been requested in the jotform, and Table C is where I will split up requests with multiple items in Table A to separate ones. In the Jotform, people can select multiple items in one form submission. even though someone might send in one form submission, that submission might include 50+ items. The jotform takes the info for each item (data points like item,qty,notes) and separates them by comma, and each item by a line break. that’s my way in with parsing out the data. I need to take a cell that might say: Apples,50,red apples Apples,49,granny smith Peaches,23 Oranges,44 and split that into separate requests in Table C. then i need to link that record back to the original record in Ta

Hi! I am creating a task list template that has certain tasks that need to be completed 20 days prior to event, 14 days prior to event, 12 days prior to event, 2 days after the event, 7 days after the event, and so on. I’d love to be able to pop in the Event Date and it autopopulate real calendared DUE Dates based on those parameters so that I can use it over and over for each new event without manually typing in each due date for every single task, but am struggling to figure this out. Can someone please assist me? I am new to airtable and watching lots of tutorials!

I’m trying to simply copy text from one column to another. Only about 20% of the records are being copied over.

Hi There, New to airtable and loving it so far. I am wondering if its possible to add a column to my table that only I can see but when the table is viewed when its embedded on my website no one else can see it. I am trying to eliminate the use to my second spread sheet for details my customers don’t need to see in their order.
