I’m having trouble understanding why this isn’t working. Essentially what I’m trying to do is find out how many authors were published each calendar year and each fiscal year. There are multiple issues published each year and each fiscal year, and sometimes they don’t line up. Each issue links to a record for the year and FY, like so: (this is my issues table) I have a second table for the year and fiscal year records: stats by year & fy. What I’m trying to do is a rollup that will count how many author records are connected to each year and FY. There are some authors that will occur over multiple magazine issues, so those duplicates need to be weeded out from the total number of unique authors for each year/FY. However, when I use the COUNTALL(VALUES) rollup, it seems to only be calculating how many issues are connected to the record, rather than authors: Here’s what I’m trying: I’m not sure why this isn’t totaling “All authors”, which is the table field I’ve selected. I’ve tri

Hello, I have two fields Phone and Phone Extension. I need a formula that evaluates the following conditions: if Both are present, show Phone if exist, otherwise show Phone Extension if exist if only Phone is present, show Phone if only Phone Extension is present, show Phone Extension if both are blank, show it as blank I’ve been racking my brains out trying to figure this out and I know it’s probably stupid simple, but I spent far to long working on this. I appreciate any help anyone can provide.

I have a multiple choice column. Many records have a particular tag. I can filter on another field to get a subset of those records. How can I remove that particular tag from all of those records

I have used a tag many times and just notices that I misspelled it. How do I fix the spelling of it? It is in many, many records

I keep trying to google, search and i am not landing on what i need. My coding understanding, as minimal as it is, is only enough to get me into trouble. As a general expression of what i wish to achieve; i want to make a view, that shows items:: are over 28 days or more beyond creation without being completed. that don’t have a specific due date that has passed (If it has passed due date then report as normal from created date). I need a formula that: Looks at the field “Created Date” field and compares to todays date. Looks at the Field “Work Completed” (If checked or not) returning “nil”? if it is complete. Looks at the field “Due Date” field and if (“today”) is not past that date, returns “nil”. Outputs “4 weeks+” for any period 28-55 days Outputs “8 weeks+” for any period 56-83 days Outputs "12 weeks+ for any period 84 days Thanks in advance!

I have a field that creates custom .svg code. How can I bulk export just that field as an .svg file?

Hi all, I’m trying to make it easier for my teammates to create records, and would love it if I could format the text in a formula field so that its items separated by a comma are displayed in vertical list format. This is the formula I’m using right now, trimmed so no one has to wade through ALL the categories and tags: IF(Category=“Community”,“Art & Music, Books & Literacy, Children & Youth, Community Development, Education, Guns & #NeverAgain, Inclusive Language”) I’d like everything within the second set of quotation marks to display in list format. Is this possible?

Hello! I’ve been using Airtable for a couple years. I don’t know much about formulas, but I can usually figure out what’s going on. In one table, I have this formula to calculate ages: DATETIME_DIFF(TODAY(), Birthdate, ‘years’). Up until today, it’s worked perfectly. However, for some reason, now it’s giving me an error message. I have a different table with the same formula - it’s also giving me a brand new error message. I’ve tried switching the order DATETIME_DIFF(Birthday, TODAY(), ‘years’), and that works fine too (the age is just a negative number, not ideal). The kicker is, if I change the unit to ‘weeks’ it works no problem - I just don’t have a use for knowing ages in weeks. Any ideas?

I’ve searched and found somewhat similar solutions, but none (that I’ve found) seem to hit the head of the nail for what I am seeking to accomplish. I have a Budget table with records representing each month. One of the fields is “Projected Income”. For each cell in that field, I am seeking to show the corresponding month’s Projected Income from another Table called “Projected Income”. In the Projected Income Table, I have configured it so I have records representing the month, and currency fields representing the client monthly payment. (I have also configured it so I have records representing the client & fields representing the month - I’ll remove the records/fields I don’t need.) So, I am looking to insert the totals of the projected client payments for each specific month into the Budget table’s record cell for that month in the “projected Income” field. I also have a “Projection” formula in the “Projected Income” table that sums the values of those fields, so in effect that

Hey All, I hope everyone is keeping well given the current pandemic. I have recently started to use Airtable Sync and since then, noticed a couple of my formulas are now showing up with #ERROR (see pics attached). My database is a paid plan, but is syncing to a free database. The DOB is being synced to the new page, but the age is not. I would love some help on how to get the age to show again! Thank you so so much!

Hi, I’m hoping there is a way to do this that’s just a bit above my creative thinking right now. The setup is this: I have a table of projects, with a linked field to records of individual yarns I have used in the project. I need to record the quantity I used of each of the yarns. These quantities will then feed through into a formula in my yarn records which picks up the quantity used in projects and recalculates the remaining available quantity. I’ve got this working for single-yarn projects, but I can’t see how to have multiple values associated with specific linked records. So for example if Project 1 has links to Yarn A and Yarn B records, I want to say that I used 100g of Yarn A and 50g of Yarn B. I then need to be able to lookup only the quantities used in projects of each specific yarn, in order to sum that and use the figure to calculate remaining quantity. This is my current project table structure.

Hi there, I have a communications calendar that I’m trying to have automate some email sends through the Gmail automation. I have my emails on that table as a lookup field, but the automation isn’t recognizing it as an email address so it’s failing the test. Is there a formula that will basically copy what’s being looked up and just format properly so that it’s an email address? Thank you for your help! Amy

Hi, I’m a bit new to this and not sure if it’s even possible. I have a table of ‘scores’ with multiple ‘players’. Each player has a score, up to 30 scores each. In another table I have a rollup which displays all the players scores. What I’m trying to do is find the 5 best scores for each player, add as a total, then divide by 5 to give an average score for each player. This should then give a leaderboard of the best players based on their 5 best scores out of X scores. I’ve managed to do this manually in Notion by adding a checkbox formula which when I enter the player score, I look at their top scores and check/uncheck as required. This is fine and works but I’m now looking to make it more automated with Airtable. Is this dooable as a formula or better as a script on a front end with js? So with airtable it works like this ‘Overall Score’ = All Scores + Checkbox = Total Score Average Score = Total Score / 5 Thanks in advance.

We use Airtable as a back-end for many of our major systems. A big part of these systems is the use of scripting apps in order to streamline many of our processes. We have one system to track shipments. We get data in at the end of our day and someone will upload that data into one of our bases. From here, we run a series of scripts that scrubs and processes the shipping data since much of it can come in very raw. I was in the process of working on one of these script today when all the sudden I was thrown the error “You can only send 15 mutations every 1000ms”. Now, I haven’t made any changes to these scripts today and have never seen this error prior to today. The issue is that we process large amounts of data and while putting an ‘await’, which we don’t normally do, in front of an ‘updateRecordsAsync’ function will allow the script to work, it takes us from a process that used to take 5 minutes to one that takes ~30 and potentially ruins our entire decision to move this process into

Hello everyone! I am trying to build an ATS (Applicant Tracking System) using AirTable. I basically have a Candidates table, a Companies table and a Candidate_Company table that links a candidate to a company including other infos such as the recruitment step of the candidate in the company. Whenever a new candidate is created, I’d like to automatically add rows in the Candidate_Company with the newly created candidate id and the id of all the companies. Same when I add a new company so it automatically add rows in the Candidate_Company with the newly created company id and the id of all the candidates. From what I’ve understand so far, Automations alone won’t be able to do that, it looks like I’ll have to combine Automations and Scripts, am I right? Do you have any article or tutorial that could give me some hints on how to proceed? Thank you! :slightly_smiling_face:

Hi all. Relatively new to AirTable, but loving it so far. I have a question about sharing data between bases. We have a “parent” base with text, images, tags. We’d like to create subsets of this base as “children”. Ideally, the users of the child bases would not be able to edit the parent base. And, if the parent base data is updated, then those data updates would automatically be reflected in the children. Is that possible? Thanks in advance!

Hello Airtable community! I am struggling with a formula and thought I would put it here since you all never let me down :slightly_smiling_face: I want the formula to produce the result overdue IF the contact’s sum of (“level of connection” and “Level of importance”) is greater than 5 and “Last Contact” is more than 180 Days The contact’s sum of (“level of connection” and “Level of importance”) is greater than 7 and “Last Contact” is more than 90 Days -The contact’s sum of (“level of connection” and “Level of importance”) is greater than 8.9 and “Last Contact” is more than 30 Days For reference here is what I currently have (Very far off) IF(DATETIME_DIFF(TODAY(),{Last contact},‘days’)>90,“Overdue”) THANK YOU !!!

Phew! Lets’s see if I can explain this clearly. Almost daily I go running. I keep a log of distance and time and get a kick out of recording and graphing the results. In Airtable, I’m using the chart app to chart several bits of data (DIstance, Time, s per km, s per mile, speed, etc.) For the straight forward data (duration, time) Airtable has no problem making charts for me, they look great! But, Airtable won’t let me make a chart with duration. No problem: the current workaround is as follows (example to calculate km/h): Insert Distance as Decimal in “Distance” field Formula -> convert to m (divide by 1000) (new field) Insert Duration as Duration in “Time” field Formula -> convert to s (divide by 60) (new field) In “km/h” field, formula {distance}/{time}*3.6 This then gives speed and so far has been carefully charted every day without fail But when I try to do something else (e.g. duration for fixed distance - mins per km) the fomula works for all previous entries but never t

hi. im trying to change the view with filter by api as i said. (outside airtable) i read the api document. and tried to “filter by formula” by airtable encoder. BUT as i understand it only support “GET records” which is not i want (to ADD filter in the view) is there a way?

I’ve successfully applied both those conditions distinctly: filterByFormula: {customerOwnerRef} = '' filterByFormula: {customerOwnerRef} = '${process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_CUSTOMER_REF}') But I don’t understand how to make a logical OR between both conditions, I tried the following but it fails with INVALID_FILTER_BY_FORMULA error: filterByFormula: {customerOwnerRef} = '${process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_CUSTOMER_REF}' OR({customerOwnerRef} = '')

Hey guys, Which field type should I use to enter page numbers for each of my table listings? I want to be able to do some calculations on them later e.g. average page number for 10 rows of book listings. I tried using the number (#) field type but it adds an unnecessary decimal place. So for example a page number entered as 350 changes to 350.0. I was going to use the single line text field but wondered if that would prevent me running calculations later on. Thanks in advance if anyone can help.

Hello! My setup is : two tables fisrt is made with my participants second is made of my categories (event A, event B,…) I am looking for updating the number of participants recorded in my first table in each event that are in my second table. So far, I could compute the total number of participant by event in table 2, but I cannot find out how to update this calculation while a new record is occuring. Because automation Update record replace the value : it seems impossible to append a record, nor to use a variable like “ALL RECORDS” (for example). How can I manage this issue ? Thank you !

Hi folks I’m having an issue with the Charts app. I’m setting up a simple scatter chart with x and y axes drawing from formula fields in my base outputting a percentage and a decimal, respectively. After initially setting the axes, the plot works nicely, and when I rollover the data points on the chart it shows me the points measurements alongside the primary field data for that entry, identifying the point. My issue is, when I then go to group the points by a third field (using the “group by” toggle in the chart’s Y-axis settings), while the grouping displays on the chart correctly, when I rollover any particular point the primary field data that appears on the chart is for a completely different point. Though, when I click on the point, it does bring up the base entry for the correct field it is supposed to represent. Am I doing something wrong here? It seems like a bug to me, and it reduces the usefulness of the charts app quite a bit for me. Would appreciate any and all feedback! C

Hi, is this possible? Thanks for your help.
