Hi guys, I have a table with only 2 views. One is “Master” and is a personal view, and the other one is just a duplicate of “Master”, but with hidden columns, and it’s a locked view. The idea was: Managers use the “Master” personal view, with all the information exposed, and our contractors use the duplicated locked view, with hidden columns (naturally they have a different login). Since they can’t unhide the columns, we thought this would prevent them from seeing sensible information. However, when contractors duplicate the “Duplicate” view (as a personal view, or collaborative view), they are able to unhide the columns and see the sensible information. Is this the expected behaviour? If so, what’s the best way to prevent contractors from accessing sensible information? Thanks!

Hi Airtable script gurus! I need help. I am working off of a code that searches for key words and returns results. The code works when var “districtRecord” is an input. However, I need to run the code on 10k+ records, so using the input would take forever selecting one at a time. I attempted to update the code to run through all the records in the table, and broke it. I keep getting an error saying there is a missing “)” on line 1. "SyntaxError: missing ) after argument list on line 1 at l on line 1 at Generator._invoke on line 1 at Generator.forEach.e. [as next] on line 1 at e on line 1 at s on line 1 on line 1 on line 1 " Here is the entire code: let districtTable = base.getTable(“Districts”); let districtRecord = await districtTable.selectRecordsAsync(); let searchQuery = districtRecord.getCellValueAsString(“Keywords”); let resultsField = districtTable.getField(“Results”); //this is the attempt to run through all records: for (let record of districtRecord.records){ async function se

IF({amount of discount}=0," ",IF({amount of discount}<0,{amount of discount})) I got this to do what I want - only show a value on a sales receipt if the value is <0 The problem is that the answer is considered a string answer and I cannot format it to display as currency. All fields leading into this formula are numbers (formatted currency) I want the results to be displayed as currency. Suggestions?

Hi there, Hoping someone out there can help me with a weird automation issue. First, some context: I have 2 tables in my base. Table #1 is the order table - This is used for tracking individual orders (every line order is quantity 1), and the record name is the serial number of the item. Table #2 is the shipping table - These records are named as followed (rolled up from the records in Table #1): “{Customer Name} + {Site} + {Ship Date}” So essentially, whether there is 1 order or 20 orders from Table #1 going to a particular customer site on a particular date, I want them all rolled up into a single record in Table #2. This works perfectly fine manually: I have a column “Shipping Table Name” in Table #1 that follows the same naming convention for the record name in Table #2 ("{Customer Name} + {Site} + {Ship Date}") and I can just copy and paste that into the “Link To Table #2” column. No problem. But… when I tried to automate it to fill the Link column for me, it only works if the rec

Hello, I’m new writting formulas, I’ve read all the guides on airtable’s website and other posts in the forum. However I can’t get my formula to work. I only need that when the value of a cell is equal to a number a specific name appears. This is what I’ve wrote; IF (Total = “6.99”, Hernia discal, BLANK()) But airtable won’t let me keep the formula because it’s misspelled. Any advises? Thanks.

Hi. I’m trying to use DATETIME_Format() inside of a formula field to display the day in which an order was placed. These are the dates of the orders. For reference, the 18th took place on a Sunday. The formula block is a very simple DATE_FORMAT() function, showing the day. However, it seems as if the date format is incorrect and is defaulting to GMT time (adding 4 hours to the time fields, causing the time to roll over to the next day). I don’t know how to fix this, and I can’t change it because under formatting it says: Can someone please help?! Thanks

When I send the record to my colleague’s email, emails with different subjects are merged into one of the recipient’s inbox. How would I resolve this?

I have set up a simple applicant tracker template with a form. The form is working, but I cannot find how to view or edit the form. I made a short 2 part video overview. Question Part I: Question Part II:

Hi, I have a synced table. In the destination base/table I have created additionally a single select field => this should represent the status of the record. Target: Change the created single choise, based on the condition that one of the synced fields has some specific text inside. => And this for each record. I set up an automation: Trigger: When a record matches conditions –> when “Synced_Field_in_Table” contains “xyz” Actions: Update Record –> RecordID => Record ID from step 1:Trigger Fields: “SingleChoiceField” Record(Step 1:Trigger)…Synced_Field_in_Table => Tests run successful & it did do it => But only for this one field. Whereas I wanted it to do it for all records matching that conditions (& there are quite few more). Is there a “loop” that can be triggered or something else I am missing. I would like to make this automation go through all records. Thanks in advance

Hustling bookseller back with another puzzler. What formula would I use to take data in my dad’s {Publisher MLA} field (NY: Atheneum, 1979) and separate it out into three formula fields ({PublishPlace}, {Publisher}, and {PublishYear})? Bonus for a formula that can change NY to New York too. Please and thank you. :slightly_smiling_face:

Hi could anyone help me with the script to automatically populate a rich formatted long text field with checkboxes any time a new record is created? Haven’t been able to find anything else in the community Thanks!

I am embedding a view on my website - one of the fields is a button with a script that adds a record in another table to log the button press timing and some metadata. However, as soon as I embed the table/view, the button field seems to be disabled on the embedded website, and can’t be clicked (screencap below) :thinking: Any ideas/advice on this would be greatly appreciated :pray:

I thought for sure I saw Airtable just added the new feature that we could finally link between bases - but now I can’t find it anywhere. Here’s my specific query: I have lots of film and TV projects in development set up in their own individual bases (so I can share project-specific info ONLY with the partners on each project) BUT the lay of the land research as to who the players are is “universal” - and constantly changing! LOL! I have master proprietary bases that I maintain for myself (full of my own internal research and private notes on 1) financing/distribution prospects; 2) Actors (prospective cast) - etc. that I parse-share with my partners, clients, students and readers of my books on an as-needed/as-relevant-basis - that I don’t want to share 100% with ANYBODY! BUT… I want to be able to link my master proprietary financier/distributor prospect base (say for easy example purposes: Netflix, HBO and AMC as commissioning leads for several different projects (i.e.: client projec

Hi Guys, Having trouble finding out how to write a formula to check if one field contains another field’s data. The specific use case is data being pulled from an ecommerce site. Each order comes from a page dedicated to a suburb/postcode. Each order populates a record with this suburb/postcode in one field as well as the delivery address in another field. I am trying to create a formula that will check if the delivery address contains the same postcode in the other field (and if so label it “true”). Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks in advance!

First - I am pretty new to writing formulas. I know enough to get myself into trouble. :slightly_smiling_face: Here’s my problem … I have a table which is a listing of tasks that are assigned and have associated dated. The fields in this table includes: Date field that includes the time field (Start Time) I created an automation that would send an email when a particular person is added to a record (assigned a task). This email includes in the body of the email, the name of the task and the date and time that this task is scheduled to begin by inserting data from the Start Time field. The resulting email looked ok except that the data from the Start Time field was ugly (for lack of a proper technical term). So I learned how to convert the data from the Start Time field into text by creating two new Formula fields using the DATETIME_FORMAT function: Field name: Date STRING // Formula: DATETIME_FORMAT({Start Time},‘MM/DD/YYYY’) Field Name: Time STRING // Formula: DATETIME_FORMAT(SE

Hi there, I’m attempting to integrate my airtable database api into a React project. I installed airtable using ‘npm install airtable’. I also followed all the directions on airtable.com/api to configure my api/base and create a function to list the records. However, when my app attempts to run that function, I get the error “Failed to execute ‘fetch’ on ‘Window’: Illegal invocation.” When I click on the error in dev tools, its source appears to be in the airtable base file–which I don’t have access to as it’s part of the npm package. I did see this topic mentioned in another post, and tried what was recommended there, however, it did not solve my issue. Has anyone else run into this issue and found a work around?

Yes I’m new. I have created a base with a table of all sales transactions, one item per line. So for example, an order with 4 different items would have 4 records, each with SKU, quantity, price paid, order date, etc. In the grid view, I’ve got a filter set up to specify an order date range, and I created a group by SKU so that we can see the total sales for each item. I want employees to be able to view the file, set a date range, and print it if necessary. However the filter is not available in the view share, and all roads seem to lead to being at least a full base collaborator to be able to set the date range. That’s too much, um, power. Am I missing something about sharing, or is there a better way to specify the date range?

Creating a table that will be split into different views for different online marketplaces, as they each require different fields. The Status field at Abebooks corresponds to the Update Delete field at Amazon, though, so I’m making the Update Delete a formula field that converts the language like this: ‘’'SWITCH( {STATUS}, “For Sale”, " ", “On Hold”, “Delete”, “Sold”, “Delete” ) My question is how can I add a statement that will look at the last modified time field I’ve named Updated and return the value “Update” only if that Updated field has today’s date? So that I can get only the updated today records into their own view to be downloaded as a CSV files I can use for the online marketplaces? I feel like this is a thorny one, but this community has surprised me on multiple occasions so maybe I’m just too much of a newb to recognize real Airtable thorniness.

Hi Airtable Friend, I inherited my dad’s small bookselling business (26,000 books) and have been organizing his records into an Airtable base. Jumping ahead, I started googling how to embed a table view of this base onto a website and I can’t find anything that explains how to make this embed searchable and filterable. Potential customers aren’t going to want to scroll through 26,000 book records to find books they want. Any guidance and/or resources would be much appreciated because, without this, I’m afraid all the time I’ve already spent on this Airtable base has been wasted. I do have the paid version, in case that opens up more relevant possibilities. Thanks in advance to anyone who can point me in the right direction!

Hi, I’m looking to build a tasks manager base. We publish book and there are about a 100 tasks to do between 4 different employees to get to the final product. I use Asana, but we want to put everything in AirTable, which is great. I like the Project Tracker in the First Base section, but I am looking for something more tasks oriented if you have any design ideas to share with me. Thank you

Hello Airtable fans, I use Airtable to manage a very large collection of recipes. There are often times that I would like to duplicate large numbers of these recipes so that I may change them slightly. It’s become very time consuming for me to duplicate each recipe one by one and assign a new ID to them. As a work around, I create a CSV with the original recipe info, change the ID and then re-upload to create new records. Is there some other way to do this? Has Airtable ever considered a batch duplication feature? Thanks! Leslie

Hi there, I found that when I read the gallery cards in the share view, there is a unique URL link for each card. May I know is it possible to retrieve the direct URL link of each gallery card? If yes, how?

Hi All, I’d like to create a unique number for a record based on the year and week. So for example, I have a date field which I use as YEAR(Date)&" - "&WEEKNUM(Date). So if the date was today this would give me an output of 2020 - 43. Now, I want to add a counting number for each record with a date in that week in order of when the record was created. So the first record created with a date in that week would be “2020 - 43 - 1” and the second record created would be “2020 - 43 - 2” and so on and so forth. But when the week changes to the next week I want the counting number to start again, so it would then go “2020 - 44 - 1”, “2020 - 44 - 2” and so on. I just don’t know how to do this and would appreciate any help thanks.
