I could use some assistance with extracting a word from a string. Here is an example of the string. 200 East Broadway #Z001 (Jacob to Seymore) This is the formula that almost has what I need but missing something. MID({Transaction Name}, SEARCH("#",{Transaction Name}), SEARCH("#",{Transaction Name}, SEARCH(" “,{Transaction Name})) - SEARCH(” ",{Transaction Name})) I’m trying to extract the apartment number (#Z001) from the string. Thanks in advance to anyone that tries to help with a solution.

I have a list of people and their dates of birth. I’d like to know if that birthday falls in the current month. Right now, I have a column, the formula of which is IS_SAME({55th Birthday},TODAY()), which indicates if that birthday is today, but I’d like to see everyone in the list who turns 55 in the present month. So, in September, the September 55th birthdays are indicated; in October, the October 55th birthdays will be flagged; and so forth.

I need to change this formula to ignore weekends. It is successfully calculating the next day a task should take place on based on frequency, but that frequency should add 1 or 2 days if it is on a Sunday or Saturday. Anyone know how to change my formula to account for this? IF((Frequency = “Monthly”), (DATEADD(Due, 30, ‘days’)), IF((Frequency = “Biweekly”), (DATEADD(Due, 14, ‘days’)), IF((Frequency = “Weekly”), (DATEADD(Due, 7, ‘days’)), IF((Frequency = “Daily”), (DATEADD(Due, 1, ‘days’)), Due))))

Hi there! Trying to create a formula that pulls various hourly rate information from another table and calculates the hours x hourly rates into a grand total field. Additionally, rates vary depending on the employee selected, so once a name is selected, the formula will pull their respective rates from the other table and start the calculation. I believe this may require a roll up field as well, but not sure where that falls in the flow. Here’s a screen shot of the other table with various $$$ rates Here’s my main timesheet table where you’ll see a number of hour totals (Reg., OT, and 2xOT). Again, once I choose a name (People) I want to calculate those totals with their respective rates in the Total Compensation field. Really stuck on this one! Thanks!

I have a problem in fetching the github api using this code and the error show is Response status 301 ‘Moved Permanently’ but redirect mode was set to ‘error’. I’m new on the airtable scripting environment and I don’t quite sure how to make this successful. let response = await remoteFetchAsync('https://github.com/google/google-api-javascript-client.git'); let x = await response.json(); console.log(x); Thank you.

I have a button/script that I want to be a toggle the value in a single select field. If the value is blank, I want to e button to mark it “Absent”; if the value is “Absent”, I want the button/script to make the cell blank. In Airtable Scripting, I see how to delete choices, but I don’t think I want to delete the choice, just the value. (I am trying to avoid having a second option of “Present”, as I know my users will assume they have to mark all clear cells as “Present”.) Here’s my script: // Select the recordId that houses the button let tableClassReg = base.getTable("Class Reg"); let record = await input.recordAsync('',tableClassReg).catch() //console.log(record.id, record.name); // read in a specific field let entry = record.getCellValue("D1 Atnd"); // toggle that field if (entry.name=="Absent") { await tableClassReg.updateRecordAsync(record, { 'D1 Atnd':{"name":""} //<-- here's the problem }); } else { await tableClassReg.updateRecordAsync(record, {

Hey all, I’d love a hand with a formula if anyone knows this? I’d like to find what % a number is of another number, if that makes sense… So for example… If I have $500 in an investment account, and that investment is currently sitting at $750, what’s the formula to show the % increase (which equals to 50%)? The formula would of course show the opposite of -50% if the investment fell to $250. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks! Christopher

Hi there! This seems like it should be easy but frustratingly, it’s just not working. When it sends the slack, it’s not displaying the name of the collaborator from the Created By field… Any clues? :frowning:

Hi Friends. I am looking for a way to have people select a time slot from a single select field when filling out a form, but then make that option unavailable to other people. When creating a form, you can choose which options are shown, but I can’t figure out how to automate changes to which options are shown. Any ideas? TYIA

I am trying to check to see if the Date column is empty, then if not, display the date’s weekday in the Day of Week column. Here’s my formula in the Day of Week column: IF({Date}!=BLANK(),DATETIME_FORMAT({Date},'dddd'),"") I do not understand why I am getting errors for all the blanks. I’ve tried several different versions of the formula above. Any help appreciated.

What’s going on with quality control at Airtable this week? First the table picker and now this: C’mon people. Do some testing before you push to prod.

Hi There, I’m struggling to figure out a formula (if there is a suitable one available), and wondering if anyone can help. I have a spreadsheet to track subscriptions and when the next orders are due to go out - these are done at regular intervals; either 4-weekly, 6-weekly, 8-weekly or 3-monthly. Rather than having to update the next due date of the subscription for each order I would love to have a formula that can automatically update the next due date based on the start date e.g. if the order started on 01/07/21 on a 3-monthly subscription, then it would be able to update the next due date to 01/10/21. I would then like it to continue updating automatically, so when we get to 01/10/21 it would automatically update to 01/01/21. Is this possible? Or anything similar that doesn’t require it to be a completely manual process. Ideally I would like it to be dependent on the subscription frequency e.g. 4-weekly or 3-monthly from another column, however if this is not possible, I would be

Hi, I have a table with sub-categories where I want to be able to choose, from a multiple-select list, the lowest level and auto populate the higher level, e.g. if I choose “Banana” I want the higher level to automatically become “Fruit”. I have managed to do this with an IF-statement, but my solution doesn’t give such a user-fiendly filtering option. The IF-statement I have created returns the statement as a string, so when I want to filter the category I manually have to write in “Fruit”. I would instead like to filter it by selecting “Fruit” from a list (as you can do with for instance a multiple-select list). Is it possible to do this when autopopulating a field? Thank you in advance!

Hi there, having a difficult time writing a formula, for an employee timesheet. Currently, I am the using DATETIME_DIFF formula to calculate the total amount of hours worked within a 14-day period. I’m using two date/time fields for each day (ex: Day 1 - Start, Day 1 - End), so my formula is embarrassingly long: DATETIME_DIFF({Day 1 - End}, {Day 1 - Start}, ‘hours’)+DATETIME_DIFF({Day 2 - End}, {DAY 2 - Start},‘hours’)+DATETIME_DIFF({Day 3 - End}, {Day 3 - Start},‘hours’)… and so on 11 more times. My issue is, we have some employees that don’t work the full 14 days, so I need a formula that will calculate their total hours, and if some START/END fields are left blank, it will result as a “0” in the overall calculation. I am a novice when it comes to formula writing, and have just started using Airtable this Summer. Any help or guidance is appreciated. Thanks!

Hello everyone! I am trying to create a simple rollup field that counts the number of check boxes from a linked table for attendance purposes. I create the rollup field like this: You can see that Abdelnasir and Aamir both have at least one check mark for attendance: However nothing changes and the rollup field shows zero: I’ve literally done this exact same thing before and it worked fine, but now I cannot figure why this time it is not working. Any ideas? (Note: I’ve also tried this with the Count field to no avail) Thanks! Justin

You’ve probably all seen the following warning by now: I’m guessing the deprecated behavior might still work well into 2022, but if you want to future-proof your scripts right now and/or depend on the old behavior, here’s the cleanest, functional way of mimicking it I’ve found so far: const table = base.getTable(yourTableName), fields = table.fields.map( f => f.name), query = await table.selectRecordsAsync({fields}) This particular destructuring syntax obviously depends on your scope being clean. But in practice, I’d usually just write this: const table = base.getTable(yourTableName), query = await table.selectRecordsAsync({ fields:table.fields.map(f=>f.name) }) Either way, I figured I’ll share this and ask if anyone has figured out a quicker method.

Hi, everyone. I was testing my automation with my team and I came across an issue when I had test emails sent. For some reason, the URL sometimes gets cut off and renders the link invalid. It looks almost as if the URL is cut off for it’s length, but I’m not aware that there’s any character limit for that field type. Has anyone gotten this problem? Is it possible that I may need to switch to a different field type? Any information would be helpful, thank you!

Hello, can someone help me figure out how to add ONLY the Start Date to a field? Currently, it is adding both the Start Date and Start Time. See images for my current formula. Thank you!

Hello! Does anyone know what happened to the way you used to be able to see all tables in a base by clicking the ‘hamburger menu’? Now the box that pops up is empty, instead of being populated with all the tables in the base. How can I now easily jump to a new table in a base, or rearrange the order of the tables in a base? I have bases that have many, many tables…thanks!

I’m trying to just double the value of a field in another field. I have one field called “costs” and another field called “goal” that I want to double to let me know how much profit I should try to make from an event. I’ve tried: {Total Costs} * 2 Also putting the 2 in parenthesis, leaving out the spaces, etc. Nothing seems to work.
