Hi all! I’m trying to add the functionality to my airtable wherein a viewer/editor can add a note to an existing entry without having to type over the entry. Ideally, this would function like a digital sticky note, so I can view the comment, but it doesn’t impact the structure of the airtable itself. Does anyone know if that’s possible? Thanks in advance!

I’ve got a single-select field, and I’m trying to change the selection for multiple records simultaneously. I feel like I must be missing something?

I have a database I am creating where users can add entries with the form provided. However, is it possible to have it where a user can also edit the data? Like a wiki page? I found this, which has an edit button. Is this an Airtable feature, or is it exclusive to the miniextensions setup? https://app.miniextensions.com/cards-gallery/w8Gx58SrkZSVX7CzGPcL

My database has run well for 3 months but now I need to change the discount structure. I have added a Column and called it Qtr and each record will be either 1,2,3,or 4 the idea being that the discount offered for that Qtr could be different. So far I have two different discount formula but how do I add the qtr to the formula ![Screenshot 2021-03-06 at 15.11.14|700x210] Formula ![Screenshot 2021-03-06 at 15.12.22|700x165] or (upload://pdKo1JReaKkSalwdO6FRbe3o0Lb.png) (upload://hc9LcneLXO1dfccFOyXw0GxLXND.png)

I have zapier adding records to my Airtable but I have no idea when the record is added. Is there a way to have a date column that automatically adds a date to the record when it’s added?

I am hoping somebody can point me in the right direction. I think REGEX_EXTRACT and SUBSTITUTE are the right way to go here. I have titles that all have the word “BPM” followed by a space towards the end. I want to extract everything to the right of "BPM " (and the space). Examples of the titles I am working with: DAM301_203 PULSE WITH SYNTH 80 BPM A FLAT what I’d like to extract is “A FLAT” DAM100_001 PULSE DEEP END 105 BPM F SHARP what I’d like to extract is “F SHARP” DAM201_400 PULSE TICKING CLOCK 125 BPM C what I’d like to extract is “C” So I am thinking I need to “substitute/extract” everything up to and including "BMP ", and I should end up with what I’d like to keep, regardless of length. Is my thinking correct? If yes, how would I do that? I have not managed to come up with a regular expression that captures what I"d like to capture. Thank you so much in advance.

The CSV Import app will merge records from a CSV file with existing matching records and create new records in the target table. As far as I know, it’s not possible to merge/update only without adding new records. Am I missing something? Thanks.

I am not sure if this is even possible - I have a table that has 3 name fields - {Name 1}, {Name 2} and {Name 3}. A formula field {All Names} combines the content of all 3 name fields separated by commas. I am using this formula: IF({Name 3}, ({Name 1} & ', ’ & {Name 2} & ', ’ & {Name 3}), IF({Name 2}, ({Name 1} & ', ’ & {Name 2}), IF({Name 1},{Name 1} ))) Is there a way to have the name “ENDING” always be at the end of the string, regardless of the name field it was entered in? So in my example, the second row would read: “Michael, ENDING”. If this can’t be done in one formula, maybe a second formula field can re-arrange the order. The name “ENDING” will be consistent across the table. I can of course make sure that “ENDING” is always the last name to appear in any of the 3 name fields. What I’d like to do is make sure that it is indeed always the final entry in the combined string, regardless of what users enter where. Thank you so much for pointing me in the

In my example, the fields “Name” and “Code” should start with the exact same 10 digits. I’d like to create a formula that compares the first 10 digits of both fields and displays a message if they match. Since the content of the “Name” field gets entered independently from the “Code” field, I’d like to use this formula as a way to check for errors. I started with the following formula: IF( AND( REGEX_MATCH(Name,’\w{10}\b’), REGEX_MATCH(Code,’\w{10}\b’) ), ‘Codes Match!’,’’) I am realizing now, this formula only looks for 10 digits, regardless of content. Not good. How do I specify that the first 10 digits of both fields have to be identical to display a positive result? Is using LEFT(Name,10) and LEFT(Code,10) the right way to go? If yes, how would I work them into a formula? I can’t seem to figure that out. Thank you in advance!

Hi, Am new and wondering how to share projects in between several companies: partners: read/write suppliers: for comments customers: read only Is it possible and how it works for the billing? Thanks for inputs Serge

Hi, First issue I have linked a ‘products’ table and an ‘orders’ table. The products table lists the items but some of the items have multiple choices (such as colours, sizes and finishes). When the product is selected in the orders table, the options are grouped together and not selectable (i.e. it is a mirror of the original contents rather than a dropdown which is unique to the entry on the orders table and doesn’t change the main products data). I want to be able to select the specific options for each product on the orders table without having to create multiple products based on colours, sizes and finishes. I suspect it’s a formula or other method rather than just linking but I haven’t been able to find an answer online (as there are too many solutions for linking and I’m probably using the wrong terminology for my issue). Any ideas how to resolve? Second issue This is not as urgent but it would be really handy if certain products were selectable based on other fields in orders t

Hi everyone! Looking to create a formula that will show the status of requesting copy. I’d like it to cover the 3 fields I have (all checkboxes) so when a team is done providing a component of copy, they check the box and the status appears. Field 1: Copy Requested Checkbox Field 2: Ready for QA Checkbox Field 3: QA Approved Checkbox Hoping the formula can mirror this: IF Copy Requested is checked then the Status is Copy Requested IF Ready For QA is checked then the Status is Ready for QA IF QA Approved is checked then the Status is QA Approved I have it figured out with just one field in the formula, but to add multiple is where I’m getting stuck. Thank you in advance!

Hello, I’m building a table to track sales and inventory. Each product has a number of components, and sales/resupplies impact the total inventory of components. For instance chair 1 = 1 wood structure + 1 leather canvas chair 2 = 1 wood structure + 1 velvet canvas So a product can have multiple components, and a single component can be found in different products. I think this qualifies as a many to many relationship, as explained by the airtable guide. I built a quick prototype, and managed to do so without using a junction table, and it seems to work just fine. Why is that? By bypassing the junction table, am i missing something that might become a problem down the road? You’ll find the table in read only here: Sign up - Airtable thanks cedric

Hi, I have been having troubles with the ‘rollup’ field function. Every time I use it, it gives me this error message: Sorry, there was a problem saving this field. Invalid formula. Please check your formula text. Some context: As you can see, the field all the way to the right is linked with the other table: The second table is a feed of forms being submitted. In those forms being submitted, I want the “flight time” (duration field) to add up to the Flight time field in the first base, which is not working due to the formula being ‘invalid’. Thank you in advance.

I am trying to create a mentor request form & table for our community and I haven’t been able to figure out the setup to meet our requirements. Here they are: There will be a mentor request form that is sent out to all users in our community asking them to select an available mentor from a dropdown list. available means that the mentor has less than 2 mentor requests in the current month We would then keep track of mentor requests and close them as they get done How would one go about setting this up? Thank you for all your help!

Hi all! I’m looking to create a formula along the lines of: If Field(Dropbox Link) is Empty and Field(Review Link) is NOT Empty THEN mark the status as “ :x: Incomplete :x: ” If Field(Dropbox Link) is NOT Empty and Field(Review Link) is NOT Empty THEN mark the status as " :white_check_mark: COMPLETE :white_check_mark: " If Field(Dropbox Link) is NOT Empty and Field(Review Link) is Empty THEN mark the status as :white_check_mark: COMPLETE :white_check_mark: " If Field(Dropbox Link) is Empty and Field(Review Link) is Empty THEN mark the status as “ :x: Incomplete:x:” I’ve tried IF({Dropbox Link} =BLANK(), “ :x: Incomplete​:x:” ) which works, but when adding anything onto that, I hit a wall! Would really appreciate some clarity on this if possible!

Hi all, I’m at my wits end. I’ve written code for Airtable locally, which largely works. Now I’d like to place the code on a cloud functions tool so I can run my code on the browser and have it communicate with other APIs. Here’s the code I have on the serverless tool, just the basics first just trying to call the airtable library. /** * main() will be run when you invoke this action * * @param Cloud Functions actions accept a single parameter, which must be a JSON object. * * @return The output of this action, which must be a JSON object. * */ var Airtable = new require('airtable'); var base = new Airtable({apiKey: 'XXXXXXXXXXXXX'}).base('appumWMhUzhgN8fFe'); function main(params) { return { message: 'Hello World' }; } When I try to run this code, I get Error: Cannot find module ‘airtable’\n In this case I’m using IBM Cloud Functions, but the process as I also read Google Cloud Functions and others seems to be the same. I just am doing something wrong. Here’s the

I really, really wish there was a better chat function for individual records other than the activity screen. This would be solved if I, as an administrator, could turn on and off who gets an email when someone comments in the Activity. But we have content that can be touched by multiple different people, sometimes over months, and the folks who discuss it at the beginning don’t always need to get pinged when someone else is discussing it weeks or months later. The rest of my office are reluctant users, so being able to remove any barriers or extra work is essential to getting them to engage with it more fully.

I am passing a duration type field a number value for update: let [audioFile, duration] = await concatenateFiles(audioUrls); console.log(duration); // this is showing a number with decimal // make the update await table.updateRecordAsync(record, { AudioURL: audioFile, Duration: duration, Status: {name: "Done"} }); All 3 fields are updated but the duration is always zero after this update. Do I need to supply something other than a number to the duration data type? Edit: I tried to use Math.round(duration) to no effect

Hi all, I’m working as a lean consultant. Helping teams to reach their business goals. I currently experiment with a system that uses excel and trello but they are not connected. I believe airtable could solve this. The solution would be a great product that could help 1000’s of teams all around the world. So I have a vision. I have a mvp. I just need help to get it working in a lo code to like airtable. Could anyone help me with further resources? Ideally I would speak with an air table expert and show what I have already and explore if air table would be able to connect my two parts. Thanks so much for your time, Alexander

I’m trying to calculate and then visualize Net Promoter Score (NPS) from a table of evaluation scores submitted through a form. NPS = (% promoters - % detractors) / total number respondents Where: promoter values = 9-10 detractor values = 1-6 total respondents = 1-10 I’m new to Vega and got stuck pretty quickly. I’m pretty sure I need to do a calculate transform step, but not sure how to assign e.g. “promoter” to values of 9 and 10. Is binning the approach, or is there some conditional logic that could work? I’m interested in ways to do this without Vega as well, but I like not having to add extra fields to my table if it is possible to do the calculation within the app module. Thanks in advance for any assistance!

Hi all, I’m facing the following challenge: I have a table with a list of Product items (Catalog), to simplify the question I have 3 columns: Product name | Product ID | Sizes e.g. Red Tshirt | 14828 | S,M,L or Blue boots | 5423 | 8,9,10,11,12 I need to take a single row and duplicate it & split it per each size as the following: This original row: Red Tshirt | 14828 | S,M,L Should become this: Red Tshirt | 14828 | S Red Tshirt | 14828 | M Red Tshirt | 14828 | L (So all the other columns have the same values) Has any 1 ever encountered something like this? Thanks :slightly_smiling_face: YV

Uncaught (in promise) Error: Can't create table: invalid field config for field 'games_id'. Creating or updating options for multipleRecordLinks fields is not supported at this time. Is there any other mechanism or workaround for this? When creating a table, or updating a table?

I have a “Created Time” field which I am trying to use to trigger automations. When I test the trigger, it says it was successful but is only finding 1 record when there should be many. I’ve tried setting different conditions, but no matter how I set them, the automation is not capturing the correct records. Am I missing something?
