Hello Community, When checking the API Doc, I can see Airtable is providing size and thumbnails dimensions for an Attachment Is it possible with a formula (not script) to pull properties from the first attachment? I tried several things like: Attachment[0].thumbnails.full.width … but didn’t succeed :confused: Regards.

Hello! Newbie on Airtable, so I’m pretty sure this is a really daft question, but after looking through the help and this forum for about 2 hours and not finding anything, I’m now starting to wonder if my goal is even possible! I have 2 tables: An Authors table has name/contact details/author image fields. A Content table, which had a load of fields, including a ‘link to another table’ field to display the ‘author name’ field from the Author table. What I want to do is to have a field in the Content table with a tick (or yes/no or some sort of indicator - I kind of don’t care what it is!) which shows based on whether there is or isn’t an image uploaded in the ‘Author image’ field on the Author table. So kind of this (which I know isn’t actually a formula, just trying to lay out what I’m trying to achieve!): if field ‘author image’ in table ‘author’ is not blank, then show :white_check_mark: in field ‘got author image’ in table ‘content’ Any ideas? Is it possible? Or am I trying to ma

Hi AirTable friends, I have records that each have a long text field which is TOO long. That long text field is called “Excerpt.” What I’d like to do is create a formula field called “Trimmed Excerpt” that copies the content from “Excerpt” field but limits the word count to, say, 50. What’s the formula for that? I Googled for a solution but came away empty-handed. Thanks to those of you who take a crack at this one!

Can you do simple references within formulas? Current formula: IF({Frequent escalation?} = 1, “However, {he/she} frequently escalates, and so {he/she} needs a significant amount of support.”, “{C He/She} does well there with minimal supervision and supports by adults.”) The formula is working, except the pronouns are not. They are of course referencing other formulas, and there is a checkbox called “Frequent Escalation?” If not (siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh) any suggestions on how to get around this? I am eventually wanting to get to more advanced texting formulas, but need to figure this out! Thank you so much!

I have four fields: Unix Timestamp - a single line text field that contains the unix timestamp Date & Time - a formula field that converts the unix timestamp into a readable date and time using the following formula: DATEADD(‘1/1/1970’,{Unix Timestamp},‘seconds’) Date - where I wish to extract just the date from the Date & Time field Time - where I wish to extract just the time from the Date & Time field How do I get numbers 3 and 4 to work?

Hello Airtable family, I’m struggling to figure out a solution on this one and hoping that someone might have a viable approach I can try. Background Info: We are using Airtable as a small business CRM, and the services/products sold are in an ‘orders’ table, which links to a ‘customers’ table. Each order links to a customer, and each customer can have several orders linked. The Mission: When someone calls our shop, it is common that we need to look at their customer record and see information about their orders on the fly. We want to be able to find the customer quickly in the customer table, expand the record, and see particular information about the orders. The Challenge: Our base is, well, rather complex utilizing nearly 100 columns/data points on each order. Filled with formulas, lookups, calculations and even static fields generated from automation scripts. When we input a new order, we use a view that curates these fields to only the ones needed for input. This is also the

Different usage limits for Sync depend on your Airtable plan. See the screenshot below for a quick highlight, or visit airtable.com/pricing for more details.

Here’s the formula I’m using: IF( {Number Field 1}!=’’, ({Number Field 1} / {Weight (number field)} + {Number Field 2}), IF( {Number Field 2}!=’’, ({Number Field 1} / {Weight} + {Number Field 2}), ‘’) ) My goal with the formula: I’m trying to reach an inventory count as a result of this field. A) If the inventory count is low, we can manually enter the exact count of the part into “Number Field 2” B) If the inventory count is higher, we get an approximate count based on weight. So we enter the weight into “Number Field 1” of the total part. It calculates total weight vs the part weight to give us a part count. C) If for some reason during the process we weigh the inventory, but find more of that part, we sometimes add the exact count on after. So if there’s numbers in each of the field, we need the formula to account for both. The result of the formula “works”, as in the numbers are right. But it isn’t a number output. So for us to use the result of the field, or format the output, it

I want to provide a workaround solution given that Airtable natively cannot do much with the change log, and I want to create a column that would update another column (within the same table) every 1 or 2 days. For example, something like the below: Column B = IF( Last Modified Date < Today - 1, = Column A, IF FALSE DO NOTHING). Through this I am hoping that even though Column A is continually changed, I can see the previous value of Column A via Column B. Thank you in advance, and please let me know if I should explain further.

Hi! I’m going crazy trying to come up with an NPS formula. I am planning to have a formula return -100, 0, or 100 depending on the value so I can then average that column on dashboards. I can get my NPS just fine, but I can’t figure out how to exclude blank cells in an IF statement. In words, I want the following: If {Program NPS Value} is between 0 (inclusive) and 6 (inclusive), -100 If {Program NPS Value} is 7 or 8, 0 If {Program NPS Value} is 9 or 10, 100 If {Program NPS Value} is BLANK, “” There’s gotta be a way to factor out these blank cells. I’m getting -100s for all my blank cells with this formula: IF({NPS Value} < 7, -100, IF({NPS Value} > 8,100,0)) I appreciate your help!!

Airtable Not Working by anyone?

Hi there, Im looking for a bit of help with a formula. I’ll try and explain it as best I can… I have six fields as follows: 1st Payment Date (date type) (e.g 1st Jan 2020) 1st Payment Amount (Currency) (e.g £500) 2nd Payment Date (date type) (e.g 3rd Jan 2020) 2nd Payment Amount (Currency) (e.g £500) 3rd Payment Date (date type) (e.g 5th Jan 2020) 3rd Payment Amount (Currency) (e.g £500) What I would like to do is create another field with a formula that would basically sum all the payment dates which fit within a specific date range (an example date range relating to the fields above would be the 1st to the 31st Jan 2020) Would anyone be able to help with this? Thanks in advance!

Under “collaborators”, I am shown as the owner along with the message “This workspace also has 1 base collaborator not represented above”. No other collaborators are shown. How do I find out who is this other (hidden) base collaborator?

I have a bunch of different strings of text and want to remove different phrases, but I’m unsure of the formula. Here is an example of what it may contain: 123.jpg 234.eps 345.ai 546%20(1).eps I want to remove every instance of “.jpg”, “.eps”, “.ai” and “%20(1)” Is there a way to do so?

I am trying to use an IF statement and I can’t get it to work either with an AND or an OR formula (or both)… Essentially I have a calculated price for my products and I want to create a formula field for a selection of the products IF ‘Sub-Category = X OR Y’ then take ‘Calculated Price +0.1’ to add 10p to the calculated price. I have tried this which returns a result for all products and not just those where the Sub-Category is “Coffee Retail Beans” or “Coffee Retail Ground”. IF(OR({Sub-Category}=“Coffee Retail Beans”, “Coffee Retail Ground”), {Calc Price}+0.1) Any other combos I try using AND statements where I have followed other similar examples on different threads, but they always come back with a formula error. Basically I have a list of wholesale and retail products each with a calculated price and for customers who only buy retail I want to add 10p to their price, but I want this to only apply to products with a retail ‘sub-category’. If the ‘sub-category’ isn’t a retail one th

Hi. I’m currently wondering if there is a way to extract a section of text from a URL. http://...Drink%2FSeafood%20%2D%20shutterstock_524277715%2Ejpg&...Images%2FFood%20%26%20Drink I want to Airtable to automate searching the link for “shutterstock_” and then display the following characters up to “%2E” The link will always have a different amount of characters before “shutterstock_” and after “%2E” and may contain a different length of characters between the two. Is there a formula for something like this?

I need Airtable to send me an email if the record was last updated 3 days ago and the status is high. Can I create this automation ?

So I was recommended airtable to manage my office staff task. So seems promising. I get the demo, got busy and never used it. Today i jump to pro all because i can color code things and mostly will be used for simple task management and minor project collaboration. So i delete the workspace that was originally their and create and label new ones that now say free. So now I am assuming you pay by workspace and not to just use the program. So the one i deleted is the pro on and is now gone. Airtable has no phone support and i am assuming they rely on their community of paying users to provide their support. How do I get my money back, remove my credit card info and delete my account?

Currently I can only synch one table into the output table. How can i make it work for multiple data tables into one table ?

hi everyone, is there a formula that can compare 2 dates (a due date and the completion date of a project) and fill in if it was finished on time, early or late?

When inserting an image to attachment field, is there a way to link a url reference? I am creating a base that features mythological creatures. One field has images. I need to be able to credit an artist or website for the images used. I considered adding a record to the table, but many of the attachment fields will have more than 1 image. Creating 3 or 4 fields to add a reference to each of the images in the record seems daunting. I had poor luck searching for this answer as the word “reference” in my meaning (to credit the original location item was found) is different then the common airtable usages. I hope I used correct terminology with records/fields ect. I’m not confident in speaking this subject.

I need to add an additional carriage return within this formula where the red maple leaf is in the below formula. I’ve tried multiple different ways but I’m unable to find success.

Hello I’m new to AT, so I’m just feeling my way. I have a base recording bookings we get from schools who want to visit us. I send a school who wants to come to us a link to a booking form view that they fill in themselves to create a new booking record initially. Once they have done that we add bits and pieces of data behind the scenes. One of the things we need to do is book staff against the school booking, but that is something someone else takes care of. Previously I would have manually completed a form in Word and mailed it to my colleague as a prompt to book staff, but I am hoping Airtable can make this process unnecessary. I would like to be able to have myself and my colleague automatically emailed when we get a new booking added by a school via the form, to prompt her to look at the staffing requirements. She is the owner of the workspace the base is in, but can I add her as a collaborator to every record in this base automatically and have AT ping us both an email to say ‘a

Hello everyone, I would like to have a formula column in a table where I have a code name as the first column today. This formula should check the code and give me a determinated result. Today my codes are SFPAPXXXXRI004, or SFPAPXXXXBA005. I would like a column that says “Ring” if there is an “RI” on the code or “Bracelet” when there is a “BA” and so on. Is this possible. Many thanks for your help!

Hi all, I’ve been using Airtable as an employee for the last few months but only recently have started building some tables on my own, and I’m running into a hurdle that I think either has an incredibly simple answer or just requires a different approach. After going through forums for hours, I figured posting might be the quickest way to find a solution. This will be a musician related database, and I have two tables - ‘Owners/Writers’ to keep records of artists: And ‘Songs’ to house the information for each song they might be a part of: As you can see, each song may have multiple writers. I want to create a column in the ‘Owners/Writers’ table that shows every song that each writer may be a part of; for instance, Ben Allen is a writer on both of the example songs, Song 1 and Song 2, and I’d like those records to be displayed in the ‘Owners/Writers’ table. The problem is when I create a linked record in the ‘Owners/Writers’ table to the ‘Songs’ table, it doesn’t automatically popula
