Solved

The Background: My kid’s school needed a Daily Health Survey that parents/faculty/staff/volunteers need to fill out every day, and I said I would help and now I’m stuck. I created a JotForm which dumps data into an Airtable base, and I use automations to create one big table that has all the individual pieces in it. The raw data goes here: https://airtable.com/shri5YgdoGt16lZGH The automations create this: https://airtable.com/shrgmvNxk4fWEwlYX The Problem: the principal of the school would like to be able to print out a sheet of paper every day that has the names of the students/faculty/staff/volunteers on it and their clearance statuses. So: Pablo Picasso - Cleared Zoey Beckmann - Not Cleared etc This is a great use for the Page Designer Block (I think), but in order for me to do that, I need to figure out a way to automatically link all of the records for each date to a single record in another table, and that’s where I’m stuck. Any advice? Thanks so much.

Small bug in the user interface: Can’t sort the list of workspaces in the left column (the list is under “Find Base and Workpace” field on the left). I try to drag up and down workspaces (dragging the name) but it refuses to stay where I drag it. The list is not alphabetical but I want to sort it in my own order. The 6 dots ::: show and allows dragging but the order goes back to previous order or the order becomes completely mixed up. The issue is same online (Chrome) as it is in the app (MacOS)

guys, why did the empty post appear?

Hi, I’ve gotten all other fields to pull the correct info from Table A into Table B when triggered, but for some reason the simple text field is not pulling and showing up. Any ideas if this is a bug?

Hello, I’m trying to have a couple of “children” tables (restaurant, hotel, coffee shops) with the same colone format (name, adresse, contact info) all gathered in one “mother” table. The idea would be that when we add or modify a reccord in the “children” table, it adds or modify the same reccord in the “mother” table automaticaly. Its like my “mother” table is a mirror of my “children” tables. If anyone knows if its possible I would love to have a tips because i haven’t cracked it.

I would like to create a workaround for the issue that Linked Records are not available in Automations. I am collecting lots of URL inputs from colleagues via the web clipper. For a number of reasons I want to link the records to another table automatically, using a script. The idea would be to trigger the script using an Automation. In short: I want the title of the Calculated site to be copied into the linked record field Sites I feel like this should be fairly simple but I’m not able to dig into JS :confused:

Hello, Thanks in advance for reading my post. I have a table which includes a list of equipment, and then I have another table that contains dates of bookings (a booking is per day), location of booking and other fields. I would like to be able to see on the first table the last location of a booking and it’s date. Is that possible to do?

Hello, I am working on various automations for my use case, but don’t have previous experience with json or the airtable api. I’ve created a multi-step automation that relies on a couple of scripts to link fields in various tables. I am sure there is a cleaner way to do it, but overall it works when individual records are created. However, I have realized that when I batch upload a group of new records (as will be a likely use case moving forward) I run into a script error stating that the query for selectrecords has exceeded the max of 30. I would love some help figuring out how to modify the following script. I have two tables: Contacts; Companies When a new record is found in Contacts, it is supposed to search Companies and then create a link automatically if a matching record is found. I modified a script I found elsewhere in the community. Here is what I am currently using. //Define the table and query let cmpTbl = base.getTable(“Companies”); let cmpQuery = await cmpTbl.selectReco

As you can expect, I am using a function field to manipulate a time field; two issues appeared gmt zone went crazy inside the new form field language for dates now are shown in english. Two solutions came to rescue: For issue # 1 I can use: DATETIME_FORMAT(SET_TIMEZONE({date field}, 'America/Bogota'), 'dddd, MMM D, YYYY h:mm a') for issue #2 I can use: DATETIME_FORMAT(SET_LOCALE({date field}, 'es'), 'dddd, MMM D, YYYY h:mm a') They both work perfectly INDIVIDUALLY, How can I combine these 2 formats inside one single formula.

I’m looking for a formula that can help me add the numbers 1-6 to records, looping. So: Row 1 - 1 Row 2 - 2 Row 3 - 3 Row 4 - 4 Row 5 - 5 Row 6 - 6 Row 7 - 1 Row 8 - 2 I’ve thought about using the autonumber field and then trying to extract the number 1-6 from that, but I’m genuinely at a loss.

Hello all, I am new to airtable but I feel like it has a lot of potential in order to manage my employees. What I want to achieve is fairly simple: I want a list of all my employees (easy to do) I want a list of all my worksites (easy to do) a) I want to assign my employees to certain worksites and then be able to see on a calendar which employees is available for an upcoming project. b) I want to be able to filter that calendar by employee and / or by worksites For example, Daniel is working on project 1 in September and December Roger is working on project 1 only in September but on project 2 in November and December I have an upcoming project in November and want to see which employees are free in October What would be the best way to go about successfully implementing step 3 in airtable? I found a couple of templates but they seem to be too complex for what I’m trying to accomplish. Kevin

I have a weird issue I’m not sure how to solve. I can’t seem to wrap my head around it. I have a base with three separate tabs. The first tab is for all project information, the second tab is for “due diligence” tasks, and the third tab is for billing. I’m using Zapier and linked fields to try to do the following: When a new project is created, I want to trigger the creation of a list of tasks in the due diligence tab, and then a list of billing breakdowns in the billing tab. The list of tasks and billing breakdowns is the same for each project. I’ve set it up in Zapier and I’m running into a problem. I’ve tried it two different ways. When the new record is created, I update the record so the linked field in the project tab is populated with all of the tasks. When I do this for more than one record though, it doesn’t create new records on the linked task, but instead keeps the same records, just linked to more than one project. I have it set up to group by project and then by task cat

Ok first this is the set up: 1 table base 7 separate table tabs with individual table names Using react and the npm airtable package I am making a call in the api to retrieve 1 record by its ID. const base = new Airtable({ apiKey: Key }).base(id); const table = base(‘table name’); const recordId = 'recordidfromairtable'; table.find(recordId, function(err, record) { if (err) { console.error(err); return; } console.log('Retrieved', record.id); }); This works and returns the record. However it seems if you change the table name you are searching on as long as it is a valid table name it still returns the record even if it sits in a different table. Now whilst this is a functionality we are looking for i.e. a search on all tables in a base. This doesn’t feel like this should be working. i.e. if the table name doesn’t contain the recordId then it should fail but it still returns the record regardless of the table you are searching? After reading various documentation searching al

I’m trying to use the --remote feature of the CLI to install my Custom Block into another base, but it doesn’t seem to be working. I’m not sure if I’m doing something incorrectly. I went through the process of “Install a block”, “Build a custom block”, and saved the appID/blkID, leaving an empty and uninitialized block Then I ran the CLI commands, with apparently successful results: But my block remains uninitialized. I’ve tried refreshing multiple times, and I’ve tried running the CLI commands again, and it doesn’t look like it’s done anything. I tried running just $ block release as well (not specifying a --remote), and my default installation of the block was updated (tooltip indicates “last updated” with today’s date). So it appears it is only the remote option that is not working as I expected. @Kasra @Michelle_Valentine

I’m having some trouble using a Script Setting input field when building a new record using CreateRecordAsync. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks! I keep getting errors like this Field ‘orderEvents’ does not exist in table ‘Inventory & Order Events’ at main on line 318 Here is my setup const config = input.config({ title: 'Replenish Script', description: 'This utility/script acts like a form for choose information about the coming replenishment', items: [ input.config.table('eventsTable', { label: 'Inventory & Order Events', description: 'Choose Inventory & Order Events Table' }), input.config.table('locationsTable', { label: 'Locations Table', description: 'Choose the Contacts and Vendors table' }), input.config.table('measurementsTable', { label: 'Measurments Table', description: 'Choose the measurements table' }), input.config.table('productsTable', { label: 'Products Table',

hi, i’m currenly trying to use integromat to copy data from one base to another. but when there’s a linked column. it copies its record id instead of its field value. i tried turning on smart link, but it still copies record id instead of its value. any help please?

I created a view and shared it; however, when they attempt to click on what I know to be a linked table, they are unable to do so. For instance, they can see the contact person’s name but can’t click on it to reveal the details it contains from the Contact table. What are my options to allowing this person read-only access to this main table while also being able to click on any linked tables?

I was wondering if it is possible that if a collaborator filters a list, then the rest of the collaborators do not get their lists filtered when they access the base. Would getting a paid version solve this problem?

Hi. Noob alert! This is my first attempt at formulas of this nature. I am trying to concate an address (Street 1, Street 2, City, State, Postcode, Country), separated by a comma and space (", "). However, most addresses I enter do not fill the ‘Street 2’ cell, which results in an additional ", " in the formula outcome. I have spent hours trying to correct this and cannot figure it out. I would be grateful for any assistance! Thank you. Here is an image of the issue: Here is the fomula I am using: CONCATENATE({Street 1},", “,IF({Street 2},’’&{Street 2}),”, “,{City},”, “,{State},”, “,{Postcode},”, ",{Country})

I got a bunch of values fro each collaborator in my base which I need to summarise pr month. Down the ‘Y-Axis’ I got my collaborators. My problem is I can’t get the ‘X-Axis’ - the month name to sort properly (see below). Ideally I just want the month name showing, but it seems I can only sort those in alphabetical order. Then I tried to add the month number to the month name in the hope it’ll sort on the month number, but as you can see December for some reason comes between July and September. Is there no way that I can just sort the month names from Jan → Dec?

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
