Solved

Hi all, Trying to make an interface with a “maximum possible spend” for each project launch day. Projects launch twice a week and run from 2 days to 15 days. I need to find a way to ask the question “Is this project still running next Tuesday” and “is the project still running next Friday”. Does anyone know where to start? I’ve tried a few things, I’ve tried lots of nested if statements, but I’m truly stumped. EDIT: A better way of formatting the question is “Will this product still be available for purchase next Tuesday/Friday” as two separate columns with a true/false value.

Hey everyone, I’m having an issue with a conditional automation. Everything appears to be triggering and working correctly when things happen slowly. However, I made a script that is meant to set the conditions for another trigger. It seems like this is happening too quickly, and the automation is only triggering once instead of a few times. The script affects the K1 Override? field. My organization has to run a random lottery for our kindergarten class, and that is what the script is doing. Whoever is selected, it writes in “Selected”, otherwise “Not Selected”.The Status field has a formula that notices this and updates accordingly. The automation is triggered by the Status field. Here’s a screenshot of the trigger’s criteria: And one of the individual conditional actions: Has anyone experience this? Where an automation gets overloaded or something? Mike

Please could you help me to understand how to make this work? Thank you! IF(NOW(IS_AFTER({Announcement Start Date}&IS_BEFORE({Announcement End Date}, ‘ACTIVE’, ‘INACTIVE’))))

Hi! With our team we use Airtable for a lot of useful practices and one of them is time tracking. My question is about how to trigger an automated message when a single person writes more than for example 10 hours on a customer in a certain month. My (un)logical idea start was. To sum the time per month in a formula column. But i have no clue what kind of formula I need. Does anybody has an idea? Many thanks in advance!

Hi there, I want to create a field that gives a different message to the user, depending on whether they have filled in a particular field ‘on time’ or not. I’ve attempted to explain it in text. If anyone could suggest the functions I need to use, I would really appreciate it. The problem for me is a. how to say ‘IF time is less than 5 minutes towards the time in the field OR IF time is more than 3 hours after time in field’ and to link that to b. ‘… AND field x has not been filled in THEN ‘show message a’’ and c. linking several options together (x3 optional messages). IF time is less than 5 minutes before end of lesson AND there is nothing in lesson reports field THEN “Please enter your lesson report, concrete targets and homework now” OR (IF time more than 3 hours after the lesson end time AND there is nothing in the lesson report field THEN “Your lesson report is late. Please enter your lesson report, concrete targets and homework now”) OR ((IF the report field is filled in BEFO

My question concerns missing information using a link field. In Table A is a field name: Property ID In Table B is a link field to Table A’s Property ID In table A I enter London 123 When I search in Table B’s Property ID for London 123, I can find it amongst the records but the 123 isn’t displayed. I have tried entering London-123 but it doesn’t make any difference. how should I enter the information in the table A field to ensure that when I link all the information is displayed in table B? tia

Hello, I am trying to transfer a collaborator field from one table to another. It works perfectly for the other text fields but for the collaborator field it doesn’t work. "User (other)": { "id": user }, Doesn’t work Here is my code : let mainTable = base.getTable("Table 1"); let mainTableRecords = await mainTable.selectRecordsAsync(); let lookupTable = base.getTable("Table 2"); let lookupRangeRecords = await lookupTable.selectRecordsAsync(); for(let record of mainTableRecords.records) { let lookupValue = record.getCellValue("ID Customer"); for(let rangeRecord of lookupRangeRecords.records) { if(rangeRecord.getCellValue("ID Customer") === lookupValue) { let myName = rangeRecord.getCellValue("myName"); let user; if(rangeRecord.getCellValue("User") != null) { user = rangeRecord.getCellValue("User").id; } else { user = rangeRecord.getCellValue("User"); }

Hi all, I’m using Airtable to create a mood tracker. I have a form question which asks which of the following 20 emotions I’m feeling, multiple answers = ok. :green_square: Balanced :green_square: Calm :green_square: Cozy :green_square: Loving :green_square: Fulfilled :yellow_square: Energised :yellow_square: Focused :yellow_square: Happy :yellow_square: Inspired :yellow_square: Motivated :blue_square: Bored :blue_square: Drained :blue_square: Lonely :blue_square: Sad :blue_square: Tired :red_square: Angry :red_square: Anxious :red_square: Hungover :red_square: Restless :red_square: Stressed :red_square: Tense What’d I’d like to achieve then is to have a pie chart look at these emotions and display an ‘average’ with each of the 4 colours. My plan was to use IF(FIND) to create a kind of mood average column in the database to direct the pie chart to, but I’m having a bit of difficulty writing the script. I was going down the track of: IF (

Hello! I am currently putting call data from Twilio into Airtable to then transform and present via Stacker. Currently, I can put the call start time (datetime), the call end time (datetime), and the duration (number) from Twilio itself. I know there is the DATETIME_DIFF() formula, but the issue with this is that it produces an integer, where I am wanting h:mm:ss. I also know you can use the integrating formatting option that Airtable has on Formula fields, which works fine if I was only using Airtable. The difficulty comes in when I need to get this duration time into Stacker. Stacker does not do the same formatting option as Airtable and pulls in the duration integer (as seconds). Any ideas?

Hey Guys! Im trying to remove a text in the beginning from a lookup field, by formula. The text starts with "<div class="vaning"></div><div class="namn">" and I want to remove “<div class="vaning"></div>” in the beginning. I tried with the replace formula but only get error messages, does anyone know why? For example: REPLACE({field name}, 1, 26, “”) Thanks J

Hi, I have a table with a unique code. I’m looking for a way to provide the public with a form where they can enter a code and check if it’s already been entered to the table or not. How can I achieve this? Thanks

I’m trying to figure out the difference (in percentage) between two numbers. I’d like to set up a formula that gives the percentage (positive or negative) difference between two numbers. So in the screenshot above Row 1: Percentage decrease from 100 to 50 Row 2: Percentage increase from 25 to 50 Row 3: No change between 50 to 50 My formula so far: -(({Starting #} - {End #})/{Starting #})

The piece I am really struggling with is the comma delimited split. This is the order as done in power query. Select entire tab/Table Source = Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name=“Table1”]}[Content], #“Changed Type” = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{Many Columns/Fields}}), Select only the Columns/Fields #“Removed Other Columns” = Table.SelectColumns(#“Changed Type”,{“Key”, “ManyLinked”}), Remove empty cells/rows #“Filtered Rows” = Table.SelectRows(#“Removed Other Columns”, each ([ManyLinked] <> null)), Split the ManyLinked into one row for each comma delimitate value - each row gets the value from Key and a single value from ManyLinked #“Split Column by Delimiter” = Table.ExpandListColumn(Table.TransformColumns(Table.TransformColumnTypes(#“Filtered Rows”, {{“ManyLinked”, type text}}, “en-US”), {{“ManyLinked”, Splitter.SplitTextByDelimiter(",", QuoteStyle.Csv), let itemType = (type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true] in type {itemType}}}), “ManyLinked”), Thanks, Teri

Hi there, I have built an automation that will: Step 1: Trigger when a record is created in Table A Step 2: Find matching records based on a condition in Table B Step 3: Update a linked field on all matching records from Step 2 with the ID of the new record from Step 1 For Step 3 I have written a script as I understand the “update record” feature can’t handle multiple records. The script isn’t producing any errors however it isn’t working. It should update the field “Applicant Record” with the record ID from Table A - at the moment nothing is being added. Would you be able to help check if I’ve made a mistake with my code? Cheers!

I need to copy sets of data from Google sheets over to Airtable’s mulitselect field. I have successfully copied the Example A sets of data into a multiselect and it works. But for some reason Example B data copies only 1 set of data, not the entire data set. How can I achieve the same results as example A for example B. Example A contentIdComplete: 5ff7f3ea61d89c3d4f1a00f6,5ff7f40f4d6d0a37a3879004,601bdf764ac7ca3c4ae31211,601be02d58c9a36f26a0f9b8,60226b2bca657c6d5a43ccd1,60226d622a2f924017052bcc, Example B contentIdCompleteDate : 1616704037,1616704037,1616704037,1616704037,1616704037,1616704037,1616704037,1616704037,1616704037,1616704037,1616704037,1616704037,1616704037, Watch the Loom video https://www.loom.com/share/825d9c899c7c4762817030d95def3ad1

Hey Guys, I’m looking for a (simple) automation that automatically deletes all empty records. My Airtable is being feeded with empty records due to a dirty API. So I need to run a script automation on schedule to clean up these blank records… I have zero experience writing scripts. I tried to use some older script from the airtable community but it does not have the most up to date syntax i guess – because it’s full of errors. Greets from Germany Pascal

Hello AirTable Community! I’ve been wracking my brain for hours now so thought I’d see if I could get some infusion of help from the group at large. Basically, I have a base with with a table called “Categories” in it that has 13 different product categories as the name field. I have a second table (in the same base) that has a full list of product names with their associated category. I would like to lookup from the “Categories” table and pull into one field all the product names that are in that category. This sounds weird ( I think? ) but it’s my current solution to an Airtable to Webflow collections sync so that I can have a category collection that still allows me to access product information, if that makes sense. I’ve been successful in linking the tables but this would require me to go through and individually select each item (like tagging?) which is cumbersome, ripe for error, and annoying because the second table will update relatively frequently with new product values

I’m attempting to use the the “Find Records” action as part of an automation designed to notify me when there are multiple records with the same description. The way I currently have it set up: Trigger: When Record field “Issue Description” is Updated Action: Find Records where “Issue Description” IS (also tried Contains) “Issue Description” from Step 1 [to identify if it’s the same description] The automation runs every time I update the field, but keeps returning result of 0 records found even though there are indeed other records with the same description. Not sure what I’m configuring wrong or need to fix to get this to work.

Is ‘loading’ a record the right concept. Up to now I’ve been using lines like: let record = await input.recordAsync("Who is Mum", view); and in my head this has then let me wokr with a chosen record. But now I want to ‘load’ a record from a ‘link to another record field’ and I suspect I’m missing a fundamental point somewhere: My code: let table = base.getTable("Characters") let deadMen = table.getView("Living Males") var deadMansRecord = await input.recordAsync("Who Died", deadMen); let theWiddow = deadMansRecord.getCellValue("Spouse") let theWiddowID = theWiddow[0].id console.log(theWiddow) console.log(theWiddowID) let widdowHome = theWiddow.getCellValueAsString("Nation of Birth") console(widdowHome) and the result when I run it for Albert. Why is my getCellValueAsString(“Nation of Birth”) not returning Germany? Reagrds Neil

Hi ! I have a calculated field that returns for me a value that looks like 2021 | Q3 or 2022 | Q1, determining the year and the quarter from a payment date. Now, in a linked table where this field (“Quarter”) is a lookup, I’m calling the RIGHT() function as follows : RIGHT(Quarter,2) in order to have as a result Q3 or Q1 as in the examples above. However, I get an ERROR! I believe it has to do with the fact that my “String” is a lookup but even if I create a field in the table, a function, that is basically “Quarter” (i.e. take the value that’s in the lookup) and call RIGHT() on that new field, I get an ERROR! too. I am deducting that RIGHT() cannot be called on a cell that’s a function ? True ? Any workaround ? Thank you !

Hello! Is there a way to sort tables and ignore articles? For example, if we are using a big list of movie or book titles with the words THE, AN, A before the title.

Hello, new to scripting, running into an issue on a single line as I hack my way through. Just trying to update script var “totes” to be 10 times the value recorded from the single select field “Pts this week”. So if “Pts this week” has a value of 7, the script var totes should be 70 after this line is what I am trying to accomplish. The line below gives me NAN so I’m doing something wrong on this particular line. If I am not mistaken, NUMBER() should do the trick as the single select value of 7 will be a string if taken as is. Anyway, here is the line. Any help is appreciated. totes = 10 * Number(record.getCellValue("Pts this week")); Thanks in advance

Dear all, i am looking for a solution for the following problem: “Column A” is a multiple select field where I have data on company presence in a variety of countries (e.g. “Poland”, “China”, “Germany”) “Column B” should have a formula that checks whether “Column A” contains an entry (among others) that belongs to a specific list (e.g. “Poland” or "Germany). In this case the formula should return “Europe” I am not sure, whether this problem should be solved with IF, nested IF, SWITCH formulas or whether I need a completely different approach Thanks for any input, Cheers

I’m trying to add a column into my financial forecast that shows whether Column A + Column B = Column C. If the value in Column C doesn’t match I’d like it to show me that it’s incorrect. The formula I have so far is below but I can’t get around the error. Can anyone tell me what I’m doing wrong? IF({Revenue Recognised in FY22}+{Year Recognised To Date}={Contract Value},“MATCH”,IF({Revenue Recognised in FY22}+{Year Recognised To Date}>{Contract Value},“INCORRECT”,IF({Revenue Recognised in FY22}+{Year Recognised To Date}<{Contract Value},"INCORRECT”))) Any advice is appreciated! Thanks
