Hey Everyone: I have a table that houses 260 records. Each record represents 1 Song. I have a rollup in that table that has every date I have practiced that song in my set lists. Set lists are individual records that track each show and adds the song in the position played. I want to take that list of songs and the date rollups and create a new table that has all the songs listed one by one by date played. I know moving forward I can do this by automation as the records are created, but how do I do it for everything in the past?

Hi Airtable community, I’m a complete novice at scripting, so bear with my ignorance here. I have a table with three fields: Email, Converted Email, and a Button. I want the button to trigger a script that encodes whatever’s listed in the Email field to base 64 and push it to the Converted Email field. I’ve gotten this to work so far using this script: let table = base.getTable("EncodeEmails"); let record = await input.recordAsync("Converting record", table); let b64 = btoa(record.getCellValueAsString("Email")); output.inspect(b64); This outputs the base 64 converted email in the scripting app, which is great. But I want that result to push to the Converted Email field in the record. I’m not quite sure what to do next. This is what I have so far, pieced together using examples: let table = base.getTable("EncodeEmails"); let record = await input.recordAsync("Converting record", table); let b64 = btoa(record.getCellValueAsString("Email")); let recordId = b64.record[0].id; await table.u

I am currently working on putting together a price list from our various venders who offer similar products. One of my tables list the “Generic Product” ID while I have another table with a list of all products we purchase. I was able to use a rollup easy enough to tell me what the lowest price for that “Generic Product” is but would like for that to also pull the information from that table to tell me which supplier offers the lowest price. Is there a simple way for me to accomplish this? I have been missing around with some ideas but figured I would ask the community.

Hello ! To manage my dev, i search a way to ‘extract’ formulas used in a field . The idea is to have a table regrouping all my differents fields created with formulas. Something like this

I have a small farm and use Airtable to track the animals. I have a table for their basic info (name, dob, etc), one for weights (used every time we weight them), one for any treatment(s) they get, and one to track breedings. I’d like to be able to have a view where I can pull up an animal by name, then see all the other associated records regarding it from the other tables. If I pull up animal “Bob,” I’d like to then see his weights and treatments in the same view (by most recent). I’ve tried searching these forums and the web to see if it’s possible, but have come up empty. This view would normally be used from a mobile device.

Hi, I try to calculate the time duration between two date fields with DATETIME_DIFF formula, but doesn’t work at all. It shows totally false results. Here it is: This is the formula I use: This is the formatting for duration: Any idea what I should do?

Hi. Would like to know is there a way to do automation so that I can count how many times I have checked a checkbox? :white_check_mark: The counter (or variable?) should increase by 1 every time I check a checkbox in the corresponding record. It should NOT decrease by 1 if the checkbox is unchecked. :white_medium_small_square: I need this function/automation because I have recurring tasks every week and want to count the times I completed the task. Also, I think there is currently no way to uncheck a checkbox by formula / automation. How can I make my weekly tasks show up to be unchecked when a new week starts? Thanks! P.S. I have tried this method: By automation, every time a record is checked (trigger), I create a new record in the ‘Script’ table. The record has my task’s ID as its name and the number (initially 0) copied from the triggering record field ‘counter’. Then, another action is modifying the triggering record by adding 1 to the Script record. But it seems doesn’t work

Hello there I would like to avoid user copy and paste in one of our tables. For this is have created a button and modified the excellent ‘copy values from one field to another’ script by @JonathanBowen to my needs. This works really well to copy a value from my source field to a target field, replacing the existing value in the target and leaving a create date in the source field. Now what I want to achieve is that that target field is a linked primary field in another table. At the moment users do this manually with copy and paste, but we do not want to introduce the idea of copy and paste as a function, a button would make this more elegant. The idea behind it is that we use one table to build a product by formula from other field values, so that we end up with a full parts code in one field (the source). This is then pasted into the linked field to create a new record in a parts table. However if I change the field name in the code from a standard text field to the linked field I ge

Hello, I’m Spanish and I can speak a little English. I’m new in Airtable, sorry if my question is too easy for you.

I am building a simple daily task management automation. I want any task that was not Done to be forwarded to the next day at 3AM so when I start work I have all uncompleted tasks automatically in today’s task list. So far… Trigger When records matches conditions When Date is yesterday And Status is not Done Action Update record Record ID: Record (step 1 Trigger) | Field values | Date Fields: Date | Today() Also tried DATEADD( Date, 1, ‘days’) Trigger test ran successfiully. Action test failed “Received invalid inputs.” Wondering how to do this? (New to Airtable.)

Is it possible to get visible fields for a chosen table and view? I checked the Airtable scripting documentation and I cannot find the property to check if a field is visible for that view

Hi! I’m trying to figure out what would be the best way to implement something easy to use that would allow anyone to check if a record exists in an airtable base. With a table with these columns: Name | Surname | ID | email I would like to implement an external webapp that given email + ID, checks if the record actually exists and returns true or false. Any ideas? Thanks

Hi! I’ve tried to read on my question since a lot of people also ask about it in the community but I’m still not very clear with the answer, so I will share my specific scenario to be sure. I’m setting up Airtable workspaces for a Company that will have 9 Pro users. By this, I initially assumed it would be $20/year per user. BUT… it got a little confusing with the different shared workspaces. So the 9 users are spread into 3 different departments: 3 users in HR, 3 users in IT, 3 users in Sales. Each team will have their own workspace. But there are some processes where the Sales Team needs to share certain Bases from their workspace to the 3 people in IT Team to complete a process. Does that mean, even though the 3 IT Team are already paid Pro users, there will be an additional $20*3 users for them to have Editor permissions in specific Sales Bases?

Hey Community: I built a pretty extensive base that tracks all the places a band has been. I want to be able to have a formula that will take this field’s output and make is a list. I will never know where the commas may fall for the names of the places. A sample result in my field is the following. , , , , , , , , , , “12-11-20 - New York, NY Rockefeller Center”, , , “10-27-18 - Bridgeport, CT BRYAC Restaurant & Raw Bar”, ,

Hey all, I am trying to generate a date in a formula field by using the data from two other fields. -I need the formula to read the datum in the {End Date (Current)} field, determine if it’s blank and then if it is not. want it to then calculate the date based off ANOTHER field {Days Notice to Cancel}. And if it is blank I want it to say “1”. So far I feel like the below formulas need to communicate but I am not sure how to combine them to make them talk properly. (however, any suggestions are helpful, even a whole other formula combination). IF({End Date (Current)}, “field is not empty” DATEADD({End Date (Current)},-{Days Notice to Cancel},‘days’) IF({End Date (Current)}, “field is empty”, “1” TYIA!

Hello wonderful Airtable community, I am working on an email automation that will report on student progress through a variety of courses. I have each course listed as a single-select field, then the possible grades listed as the options to select. I want to send an email report that shows these grades: Class 1: {GRADE} Class 2: {GRADE} My problem is that no matter what options I select when building the automation, the GRADE field shows up blank. Thanks so much for your help! Katie

I maxed out 500 fields. It’s disappointing cause I didn’t know about it or I missed it wherever it’s mentioned. At least the Account overview should warn me earlier I am maxing out the number of fields. It doesn’t say anything about that. Now I have to spent days and days to redesign the table, maybe weeks… I have lots of fields primarily because of many complex formulas I have. I rather do multiple steps with formulas so that it’s easier to fix them or update them, given how unhelpful the formula editor is in Airtable. Now I will have to fold many of these fields together to free some space. I have alone 30 fields taken up with formula to generate separate URLs for attachments in the attachment fields (Yes I know there is an addon)… and so on. If I sound a bit frustrated, yes I am. That’s SILLY this 500 fields limit. If it was 1000, fine. But I would have thought maybe 5000 or unlimited. I have lots of formulas and dozens of automations… It will take me weeks to fix this. This is an

I feel like I’m close with this one, but it’s not quite working. I want to show quarters of the year, so if a column equals “January 2021”,“February 2021”, “March 2021”, I want it to show “January - April 2021”, and so on for each quarter. I’ve attempted it with IF(OR), but it’s not working. Appreciate any tips here. IF(OR({Result Month/Year}="January 2021","February 2021", "March 2021"),"January-April 2021",IF(OR({Result Month/Year}="April 2021","May 2021", "June 2021"),"April-June 2021"))

Can anyone help me with a formula? Here’s what I want to do: Take a total number of words: for example, 60,000 Subtract my current number of words: for example, 20,000 And then take that number (40,000) and divide it among the number of days left before my deadline. TIA!

Someone else asked about adding carriage returns to formulas (it’s done like this “\n”). I’m trying to find a similar command for tab or indentation characters. That way I can generate text formatted like this: Product: Orange Quantity of Product: 5 Instead of this: Product: Orange Quantity of Product: 5 @W_Vann_Hall I bet you’ll know
