Help please! I created a ‘Create Record’ automation with the following trigger: When a record matches conditions in table 1, it creates a record in table 4. (Works Fine) The problem is with the record it CREATES in table 4. It’s doing exactly what I want when it runs the test, but when I create a NEW record in table 1 that matches the conditions (triggering the action of creating the record in table 4), it’s filling in the field in table 4 with ONLY the first letter of the word(s) it’s supposed to be inserting. I cannot figure out what I’m doing wrong :weary: Any help is so appreciated!!!

I think I already know the answer (tables aren’t the same as spreadsheets so you can’t copy cells, only records), but wanted to post in the off chance someone can suggest a possible work around. Trying to copy a formulated date from one table to another so I can produce a gantt for each record in my base. Table 1 has records of each project with various fields containing start/stop/checkpoint dates Table 2 I was using as the base for my Gantt with only two fields (start date, end date) Currently I have to copy and paste but am hoping maybe there’s a scripting with a map loop solution out there? Example: Table 1 Record 1: Project 1 (Name) Field 1 (start project - date) Field 2 (check-in with employee - formula off of start project date) Field 3 (90-day assessment - formula off of start project date) Field 4 (end project - formula off of start project date) Record 2: Project 2 Name Field 1 (start project - date) Field 2 (check-in with employee - formula off of start project date

Hi Community, I have a table A, which has 3 fields. Field 1 is Name, Field 2 is Role, Field 3 is Skill-Level. Simulated data for Table A: John, Singer, High Michiel, Pianist, Medium Zule, Guitarist, High Table B has 3 fields. Field 1 is Name, Field 2 is Phone Number, Field 3 is Email Address. Simulated data: John, 12345, john@music.com Zule, 67891, zule@music.com Question: is there a way to ensure that when I add any new record in table A, only new records in table A with Skill-Level = High are automatically added to table B? Having combed through Airtable’s functions, I am sensing that this is not possible without using Zapier or Integromat or some JS code but I hope to avoid these options. Please advise, thank you!

I’m trying to duplicate a row via a mobile device (iOS). I noticed there wasn’t a way to do it explicitly through the interface, however, I am looking at implementing a workaround via a button which calls a script. This being said, is there a way to duplicate the current record verbatim via a script?

Hey all, new airtable user. I am a composer and I’m trying to put together a base that tracks a songs and co-writer percentages. One song might have one or several writers. If it’s more than one writer, I would like to track their percentage. For example, song 1 might have writer A, B, C each with a 33% writer’s share. The pertinent tables I have so far are: Song Table - contains song details and metadata Writer Table - contains information on composer Do I use a junction table for this? I could use a little hand holding if anyone has an answer!

Hi, I would like to use the column number in a view in a formula. Example : If a record is listed as 5th is a view, I would like to use the number 5 in a formula. Is there an internal field giving me this number ? PS If this exists, is there a list of internal fields that can be used ? like RECORD_ID, …

I have three tables, Properties, Contacts, and Companies. Each table has a Last Unsuccessful and Last Successful contact field. Sometimes I have contact information on one or multiple of these tables (i.e. if a company owns multiple properties then I’ll create the linked relationship). I need a way to find the maximum date of when I last spoke to someone, whether I’m looking at either of the tables. On the table below I have two lookup fields and a natural date field for both successful and unsuccessful contacts. I referred to the thread below but not sure why I am getting an error. Formula to choose Earliest Date from list of 6 dates Dates and timezones Hi everyone!

I would like to create a formulas to add the specific school year if the date in the column “DATE” is between DATE1 and DATE2 For example: IF date is 5/20/2021 THEN in the column school_year I will have 2020-21 IF date is 9/20/2020 THEN in the column school_year I will have 2020-21 IF date is 9/20/2021 THEN in the column school_year I will have 2021-22 What formulas should I use ?

Here is my script. The goal is to copy a value from a field into another field, but the field variable is dynamic. The fields do exist and will match the fieldvalue input variable. However, i don’t seem to be able to update the record by using a defined variable. Here is my script: let config = input.config() let recordId = config.recordid let name = config.fieldvalue let table = base.getTable(“Verifier / Trainer Body”) let query = await table.selectRecordsAsync() let record = query.getRecord(recordId) let field = table.getField(name) let fieldval = field.id console.log(fieldval) let value1 = record.getCellValue(“VB Total Score”) let copy = await table.updateRecordAsync(record,{fieldval:value1}) Thoughts?

Hi everyone - I’m still very new to Airtable and ran into a formula error that I’m trying to solve. Ideally, we would like to group tasks by the week they are due. I was able to find the formula to output the week number but can’t seem to find one that works that will produce the following output: “Week of 06/21”. I did find the following two formulas from a previous post: Display the "week of" for a given date starting with Monday CONCATENATE(“Week of”," ",DATETIME_FORMAT(DATEADD({Date},-DATETIME_FORMAT({Date},‘e’),‘days’),‘M/D’)) DATETIME_FORMAT({Date},‘e’)+1,‘days’),‘M/D’)) However, when I go to add the formula to my calculated field it returns an error. Could it be because my {Due Date} field is calculated as well? This is the formula that I am using: CONCATENATE(“Week of”," ",DATETIME_FORMAT(DATEADD({Due Date},-DATETIME_FORMAT({Due Date},‘e’)+1,‘days’),‘M/D’)) The specific error is as follows: Sorry, there was a problem saving this field. Invalid formula. Please check your f

I feel this is super simple and I’m just not seeing something. If someone could put me out of my misery, it would be much appreciated. I want to send slack notifications when someone fills out a form. One of the fields is long text and asks for detailed description. I wanted to only show a preview of that field in the message. I see the “trim” option there but I don’t know how to actually use it! It’s not doing what I assume it should do. I am selecting + > the field (Description) > Continue > trim (insert) and it doesn’t do anything. When I do the exact same with any of the other properties (length, upper case, lower case, etc) it does react the way I would expect. Does anyone know how to do this? :thinking: See it not working here:

Hi Airtable Community! In my Airtable base, I’ve got two main tables: one for stories written by kids, and another for notes that volunteers write to the authors. These tables are related through a one-to-many linked record setup: there can be multiple notes for a story, but not multiple stories for a note. I’m trying to make two rollup fields: one that displays the text of the first two notes a story receives and one that displays the text of every note after the first two. I’d like to email notes back to authors after they have two notes and then again when they’ve accumulated several more, and would use each rollup field as part of the automation for the email body. The additional wrinkle is that the rollup should only count notes that haven’t been flagged (and therefore shouldn’t be returned), and there are handwritten notes too. My thought was to add an Autonumber field in the notes table–each note will have to have a higher number than the last. Then, the aggregation formula of t

Hi Community, I have a cruddy report that cannot give me the data i need which forces me to calculate the number of days a person has been helping our organization and I was hoping there might be a formula that can help automate the calculation a bit, but I cannot wrap my head around it (terrible with IF formulas). The report is run once per month and will produce 4 different combinations of dates for the in and out field. Combination 1, OUT date is prior to the start of the month, and IN date is after the last date of the reporting month OR blank . This calculation would then be the same as the number of days in the month. Example for May (OUT is 4/20/21 and IN is 6/5/21 or blank, would = 31 days) Combination 2, OUT date is prior to the start of the month, and IN date is within the month of reporting. This calculation would be the datediff between the IN date and the last day of the previous month. Example would be (OUT 4/20/21, IN 5/14/21= 14 days) Combination 3, OUT date begin

Hello community! This is my first Airtable script. I’ve been proud so far but there’s a detail that I cannot crack. The situation is: I’m generating a dynamic chart via quickcharts.io using Airtable fields and I want to create a .png file from it to send by email. So I created a formula field that generates the appropriate URL for the chart, this works perfectly. Then, I created a script that runs upon that URL being updated, here’s the kink. The script is based on a similar Airtable script which takes a URL and creates a file in another column on the same table. The issue is that the ´filename´ is not being updated. It creates the file perfectly, but the filename is taken as a part of the URL which is unreadable and doesn’t contain the file extension. Here’s my take: let table = base.getTable("Table 5"); let attachmentField = table.getField("Attachments") let inVar = input.config(); let url = inVar.Attachment_URL; let updates = []; let attachmentUrl = [{url: url, filename: 'Chart.pn

Hey, I’m facing a specific issue in Airtable Automations: Background: I’ve created a automation to do the following: Trigger: Receipt of Webhook Action: Update a Record in Airtable. The trigger is working fine, however the action is continuously failing with the following error: “Received invalid inputs.”. I’ve taken the usual steps of: Re-test the Trigger and then re-try the Action Re-configure the fields to be updated in the Action Check the field types that need to be updated in the action. Does anyone have experience with what could be the issue here? (Screenshot attached)

Hey guys and girls. Do anyone know of a way to change the status/state of linked records when a record enters a view?

Desired outcome: When someone enters our blood donation center (no appointment needed) the front desk looks them up in the donors table and changes their “last visiting date” to today. I want to add a record that shows their new visit and insert the changed date into a date field in a (growing) “visits” table. I created a simple automation: When record is updated in “donors” table, create new record in “visits” table. Date Field to watch: “visit date” (this is the last date a visitor arrived) Action: Create new record in different table and add “visit date” into date field. Weird/unexpected behavior: the date added is 1 day earlier than the chosen date.

We´re a learn platform with memberships. Each mempberships has its values in numbers. I need to replace/substitute those values into another values. This is what I want: 9=1 19=2 39=4 99=11 This is my formula: SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE({FOX XP AMOUNT},“9”,“1”),“19”,“2”),“39”,“4”),“99”,“11”) This is what I got: I think I need a solution to get the Formula know or read two digit numbers together. But I don´t know how. Would love if somebody could help me please.

Hi, I have a rollup field in a table, and I want to limit which linked records are included in the rollup by a condition. Specifically, I am looking to get “this week’s data”. In my table where the rollup resides, I created a field to use the Weeknum() function and get the number of this week. Then, in my linked records I also have a Weeknum field. So, in the rollup, I want to only sum those linked records where the Weeknum field value in the linked record = the Weeknum field value in the table where the rollup field resides. But it doesn’t seem I can do that. I would have to update the condition each time I need to pull or review the weekly data and manually set it to the number of the week I’m looking for. Any ideas on how to accomplish what I’m trying to do? Thanks in advance!

Resurfacing the discussion from Reload app on useRecordActionData hook since it was never really solved. I have the same issue. I’ve tried useEffect() and useState() to store and update the state, but Airtable’s button action appears to generate recordActionData one time. So, in my case, I can get the record data, create a new record on a separate table and attach it to the original record via a linked record field, and expand the new record for editing, and I report back to the user with a message indicating the name of the newly created record. That all works, but the app itself just stays on that final display state, saying the name of the new record. When the user hits the button again, nothing happens. No new recordActionData is sent, so the app’s useEffect function is not triggered again. Here’s the bulk of my working code: function SourceTrackerApp() { const recordActionData = useRecordActionData(); if (recordActionData === null) { return <Box padding={2}

Disclaimer: I’m moderately new to Airtables. I am working on a base that tracks commission earned for our sales department. Essentially there are two separate commissions rates that are earned: a pre-threshold rate and a post-threshold rate, where the threshold is an amount of commission earned (for example, the threshold could be $100,000, and the salesperson earns at a commission rate of 5% before they reach the threshold and at a rate of 3% after the threshold). I’m trying to write a formula that determines which commission rate to use based on the amount of total commission earned, but I keep getting a circular reference error, which I believe is caused by the fact that the total commission depends on which interest rate is used, causing the loop since both of these fields are dependent on each other. Does anyone have any advice on how to fix this? Sorry if the description is too vague, I can provide more information if need be. Thanks!

I created a formula to add 3 weeks to a date that I capture elsewhere in my table, and added an IF blank statement, so if there is no date it won’t show anything: IF({Date Intake Completed}=BLANK(),0,DATEADD({Date Intake Completed},21,‘days’)) The formula is working, but the output format is not what I’d like: 2021-05-19T00:00:00.000Z, I would prefer 05-19-2021, or something like that. When I try to change the format though, I get this message: Your result type is not a number or a date. Formatting options are currently only available if your result type is a number or a date. The output is a date, so I am not sure why I am not given the option to update the format. Appreciate any help! I am new to Airtable and this is my 1st formula, so hoping I can get it working.

I’m tracking properties that are on the market and haven’t sold. I can pull a data source which gives me “Days on Market” as a number. I can then use DATEADD() to subtract the num of days from the date entered 6/13/21 in this case, to get the start date of the listing. But there are cases where I know a property is being sold, but I don’t have a date it first hit the market, so it results in an error. Not sure if this will be a problem, but I tried to use an ISERROR formula but wasn’t able to get it working.
