I know I’m overlooking something here but I can’t figure out what that is. I’m trying to create a Publishing Status field using nested IF statements. So far, I’ve only tested the first few statements, but I can’t get anything other than step 1 to show. I still need to add all of this: IF(Done =NOT(Blank()), “step 15”, IF(Published =NOT(BLANK()), “step 14”, IF(Uploaded =NOT(BLANK()), “step 13”, IF(Accepted =NOT(BLANK()), “step 12”, IF({Client Approves Draft} = NOT(BLANK()), “step 11”, IF({Draft Delivery URL} = NOT(BLANK()), “step 10”, IF({Senior Draft Review} =NOT(BLANK()), “step 9”, IF({Internal Draft URL} =NOT(BLANK()), “step 8”, IF({Client Approves Outline} =NOT(BLANK()), “step 7”, IF({Outline Delivery URL} =NOT(BLANK()), “step 6”, IF({Senior Outline Review} =NOT(BLANK()), “step 5”, IF({Internal Outline URL} =NOT(BLANK()), “step 4, IF(Author =NOT(BLANK()), “step 3”, IF(Article =NOT(BLANK()), “step 2”, IF(Article =BLANK(), “step 1”)))))))))))))) But right now I can’t determine where

Hi there! I’m an Airtable noob, but a spreadsheet lover. I’m trying to create a formula (Switch looked like the best), that will create custom dates based on the “Task Name.” It involves date math based on “Original Publish Date” field which is a date. Here is a rough example of what I’m trying: SWITCH( {Task Name}, “Create Illustration”, DATEADD({Original Publish Date},-14,‘days’), “Generate blog post and schedule post”, DATEADD({Original Publish Date},-13,‘days’), “Create snippets for social media”, DATEADD({Original Publish Date},-12,‘days’), ) I’ve tried paranthesis around dateadd and end before the comma. That didn’t work either. Is this possible? I see other formulas that seem to work.

I’m not sure why this one isn’t working, because I’ve tried copying and pasting from another base where this formula DOES work. I’m trying to write an IF statement for the Gift ID. If “Donor Account” is not blank, GIFT ID should pull Donor Account after the date. If it IS blank, it should pull Company. This is my starting point, but it’s telling me it’s not a real formula. (DATETIME_FORMAT({Date of donation}, ‘M/D/YYYY’) & " — ") & IF(Donor account, Donor account,Company) Thoughts?

I am creating a catalog of sheet music for some musical groups I play in. It has a main table with all the usual information to be expected (title, composer, arranger, etc.) plus some additional info, such as alias names and associated works or titles. All the information is either directly stored in the table, or is in a linked table (composers and arrangers, for example). The alias and associated works are useful. Some examples of these associations are: The title, “It’s the Hard Knock Life”, also has an entry in the associated works field indicating that it is associated with “Annie”. The title “Ukrainian Bell Carol” has an alias entry as “Carol of the Bells”. The “Hallelujah Chorus” has an associated entry indicating it is part of the oratorio “Messiah”. The point of all that is to indicate how useful this information could be in searching. For example, when searching for a specific title, I would also like the associated/alias fields to be searched for the same title. Now, I

Hello, I have started using Airtable recently and I find it quite useful. I am trying to create a structure as below: Company [All the companies that I worked/work with] ==> Project [All the projects that I have worked/working] ====> Tasks [All the tasks for different projects] To achieve the relation, I have used ‘Link to another record’ field type. I am able to relate Company table with Project, Project table with Tasks. On the Tasks table I am able to see the Project they are associated with, but on the Tasks table, I am not able to display the Company associated with the project for which the tasks are. Can you please guide me how I can establish this structure?

Is it possible to present the number formatted by grouping the thousand, like “100,000”. It just displays “100000”. Excel gives an option: “Use 1000 Separator (,)” This is found in cell format, under # format.

I’ve switched around the order of a few columns in grid view but this isn’t reflecting on Kanban. I would have expected the order of questions/columns to sync up no matter what view I’m in but this doesn’t seem to be the case. Help?

Hi Folks, I need help writing a formula that returns only data for this week related to a release date I know this formula works IF(WEEKNUM({Release Date})=WEEKNUM(TODAY()),“this week”,“NOT”) However, it still shows me content released for the next year same as this week. I only want to work on the current year not all years in my view. Thanks, A lot for your time

Hi all, I’ve been struggling with the SET_TIMEZONE feature for about 20 minutes now and frankly I’m over it, so I’m coming to you all. I’m trying to display the times that some orders were made in the local time zone of the person that made the order. I have three columns: Time Zone (which is the local time zone of the buyer), Order Time & Date (CET) (which is my time zone. all time stamps arrive in CET), and Order Date & Time (Local) (which is the field I am trying to calculate). I have set the following formula in the last column: IF({Time Zone}="Alaska",SET_TIMEZONE({Order Date & Time},'America/Juneau'),IF({Time Zone}="Hawaii",SET_TIMEZONE({Order Date & Time},'Pacific/Honolulu'),IF({Time Zone}="Eastern",SET_TIMEZONE({Order Date & Time},'America/Kentucky/Louisville'),IF({Time Zone}="Pacific",SET_TIMEZONE({Order Date & Time},'America/Los_Angeles'),IF({Time Zone}="Central",SET_TIMEZONE({Order Date & Time},'America/Mexico_City'),IF({Time Zone}="Mountain",SET_

Hi, for my academic research database I’m trying to write a formula that will automatically extract a four-digit number from a cell (i.e. extracting year from a citekey). For example (Citekey --> Year), Downs1965NonmarketDecisionMaking --> 1965 Welborn1968BureaucracyAnthonyDowns --> 1968 Any ideas on how I might be able to do this? Thanks.

This is probably so easy, but I just can’t get it to work. I hav 13 columns that are using a formula to extrapolate a comma separated list from a single column. That works great. I am then trying to use a new formula field to look across all 13 and put the result of the last column that is not blank. (i.e. if column 1 has text then check column 2. If column 2 is blank then column 1 in field if column 2 has text then check column 3 and if 3 is blank them column 2 and so on. the columns are called item1, item2, item3 and so on. Thanks in advance

I have a simple date in my table and I simply want to have the name of the weekday displayed (e.g. in another column). Does this work with a formula?

Not sure how to describe this one… I have a primary field in one tab of Publications. Each publication has a Pub Date column. In another tab, I have Last Name as a primary field (of authors) and want to create a column that tells me the most recent publication they were attached to. If I use Roll-Up with max value, I can get the pub date itself (1/12/20) to appear rather than the name of the most recent publication the author is attached to. So I think I need a formula that would produce, instead, the most recent Publication the author is attached to. Any thoughts?

Hi, I work for a charity that distributes surplus food to members of the local community for a small weekly fee. I use Airtable to keep track of, among other things, how much each person pays each week, versus how much they should’ve paid. I use two linked tables to track this - one on which I record each individual transaction, and another that uses rollup fields to add each member’s transactions together so I can see each member’s history at a glance. I’ve set it up so that the Rollup table shows me how much (if anything) a member owes us in total, but the actual maths for that is done in the Transactions table. At the moment, one food delivery costs £3, but we’re about to increase that to £4. My trouble is with how to get Airtable to reflect this change. If I just change the formula for the amount owed from {Packages delivered}*3 to {Packages delivered}*4 then it’ll re-calculate every member’s payment history and tell me that everyone is £1 per week in debt, so I’m hoping there’s an

Hello! I’m new to Airtable but not databases overall so I have a little bit of knowledge in how to write a formula. I can’t seem to work through this one though. I have the need to be able to recall certain clients for scheduled services. I cannot for the life of me figure out how to write this formula. I need the formula to calculate off the “Scheduled Date” forward 275 days but only when the “status” is not marked as “complete”. I have no earthly idea how to make this work. Thank you all very much for your help on this - I’m sure it’s pretty basic and I am overthinking but…I’ll learn it all someday!

I want to access a airtable table through my app i’m making. I have the community airtable API installed into my project, but setting up the thing is a whole new task. I’m trying to add a new item to the table through the app currently. I don’t think the code is incorrect because I used it off the documentation of airtable visual studio api. Here In all the examples of how to use it, there are these two lines that are needed. readonly string baseId = YOUR_BASE_ID; readonly string appKey = YOUR_APP_KEY; I think i’m putting in the wrong numbers somehow. So I put my api key for my account in the second line and the base id for the specific sheet in the baseId line. Ex. const string baseId = "app********" const string appKey = "key********" If you know anything that would be helpful. Thanks. Edit: If you anymore info or screenshots I can send them. Edit 2: Turns out that it’s actually not my fault. The api is broken I think. https://api.airtable.com/v0/*********/Codes?api_key=*********

I’m looking for help writing a formula to show what pay a staff member has earned based on a variable. I have hours worked (at 30 per hour for one role, and 25 for a different role), and trainings complete at 50 per session. How do I write a formula that looks at the “role assigned select field” and calculates based on the correct rate of pay? Thanks,

Having trouble with an IF formula. IF({Job Size}<=10,DATEADD{Order Start Date,7,‘days’},DATEADD{Order Start Date,14’days’}) I’m trying to generate a date based on our ‘Order Start Date’, where if the integer entered in the ‘Job Size’ field is less than, or equal to, ‘10’, it will add 7 days to the ‘Order Start Date’, and if not (specifically a larger number), it will add ‘14’ to the ‘Order Start Date’. I’m not seeing what I’m doing wrong :woman_facepalming:

HI all, I’m hoping for a little direction here. I have managed to write a script to retrieve a single record from Base B based on a Date/Time field in Base A. My problem is that I can’t figure out how to then extract a value from that response. The response looks like this (I have REMOVED record Specifics). I am trying to extract ‘Height’ 3.49 in this case, which is a number in Base B. I then plan to update the initial record in Base A using that figure (I think I can do that bit once I can get the number out of the response). Sorry if this seems very basic, but learning as I go. {records: Array(1)} :arrow_forward: records: Array(1) :arrow_forward: 0: Object 1. id: "REMOVED" 2. ▶fields: Object 1. Timestamp: "2020-07-28T12:10:00.000Z" 2. Date: "28/07/2020" 3. Time: "12:10" 4. Height: 3.49 3. createdTime: "2020-07-28T09:18:24.000Z" Script so far looks like this let table = base.getTable(“Table A”) let record = await input.recordAsync(’’,table ) var search = record.g

We have a weird way of keeping track how many interviews our interviewers have done. I would like to know how to count the number of times “1” comes up in each cell across all columns from Jan 2020 - August 2020. So in my simple way of formulating it would be something that translates the following (number of times “1” comes up in Jan2020) + (number of times “1” comes up in Feb2020) + (number of times “1” comes up in March2020) + (…etc etc). You can access a view example here: https://airtable.com/shrVjcpeWwW1jC51n Let me know if something is not clear! Hope somebody has some ideas or an answer :slightly_smiling_face: Thanks in advance.

I am running a membership organization, we have “Member Since” that is a year, e.g 2014, 2018, etc. I want to calculate on a column to the right, how many years they have been member. Something in simple words like =TODAYS YEAR - “Member Since” (in the picture it is “PGM Since”) So that this adapts to every year. Otherwise I can just keep it to =2020-“Member Since” Anybody can help with that? How to get automatic todays year into a formula
