Solved

I just recently released the first custom block for our base, and I would like to start by saying THANK YOU! It is very exciting to be able to create custom integrations so easily. After releasing a test block to demo the process I realized I can’t find a way to either rename or remove blocks that are either unused, or replaced by another Block’s functionality. Is there a way to remove custom blocks at this time, or is this an artifact of the Beta status of the platform?

Here is a simple clipper intended to be used with YouTube to pull basic video info { "schemaVersion": 3, "fieldMappings": [ { "fieldName": "Video Title", "fieldType": "singleLineText", "defaultValue": { "type": "cssSelector", "opts": { "cssSelector": "h1.title" } } }, { "fieldName": "Video Description", "fieldType": "multilineText", "defaultValue": { "type": "cssSelector", "opts": { "cssSelector": "#description > yt-formatted-string" } } }, { "fieldName": "Video URL", "fieldType": "singleLineText", "defaultValue": { "type": "pageUrl", "opts": null } }, { "fieldName": "Video Duration", "fieldType": "singleLineText", "defaultValue": { "type": "cssSelector", "opts": { "cssSel

I’d like to use a Kanban style view for assigning categories to items, with the categories being values in another table. The items I want to sort are Organizations, and I want to sort them into career interest areas: e.g. Tech, Government, Design, etc. These Interest Areas are in another table, and are a linked field in the Organizations table. If I group the grid view by Interest Area, I can’t drag and drop the orgs to categorize them. I’d really love to do this in a kanban view - it’s easier to drag and drop items. But when selecting a group by field it doesn’t seem to allow me to use a field from another table, even if I set the field to only allow a one to one relationship. Any other ways to do this that I’m missing?

Hi all! I’m still pretty new to scripting, but came across a problem that feels like it should have an obvious answer. I would like a user to be able to update a number field in my base via some inputs in the script, however the input.textAsync function throws an error because the string can’t be assigned to that field type. Aside from changing my field to a string, is there away to change the input type to a number in the scripting block? Thanks!

Hi All, Hoping someone can figure out what I’m doing wrong here. I’m trying to get the number of weeks (preferably with one decimal point) by subtracting two dates from each other. In addition, there is an IF function, as described below: IF {date 1} < TODAY, then do the difference between {date1} & {date 2} in weeks format. If not, then do difference between TODAY() & date 2. I have this, but it’s not working: IF({Contract Signed Date}<TODAY(), DATETIME_DIFF({date 1},{date 2},‘days’), DATETIME_DIFF(TODAY(),{date 2},‘days’)/7 Thanks, Dave

I posted this also on the Integromat community, but I’m just also sharing here in case anyone has any smart ideas… Q: How to sync Webflow CMS items between Airtable & Webflow via Integromat I have the below scenario in Integromat, which attempts to do the following: Lists all Webflow CMS items in a collection Lists all Airtable items on a page Where the Webflow item ID exists, update the Airtable base with the relevant Webflow details Where the Webflow item doesn’t exist, create the item The ‘update’ function works fine, but I can’t figure out how to get the filter for ‘if ItemID doesn’t exist’ to work properly. It creates multiple versions of the same record. My filter is also attached as a screenshot. Wondering if anyone has a similar scenario set up that they can help with / anyone can provide guidance on how to use Airtable as a CMS like this.

Hi all, I have started using the CRM feature to log pipeline. I have created a duplicated sheet for archived projects, is there a way to move an entire record from one sheet to another? TIA

Newer user, still learning. I have a base with 3 tables. All three tables are linked. When I send the form to collaborators, they cannot add data to the two other tables (through the form). This base is similar to a CRM, so I am trying to add customers, potential jobs (on a separate table) and contractors (on another table). The Customer Base is the form being sent out, but if the contractor or job isn’t already listed, then it cannot be added through the form. Is there a method to add a contractor or job through the Customer form?

The “To-do list” tutorial opens with In this 3-part tutorial learn how to build a to-do list block that shows a list of tasks from a table and allows you to check them off when done. The supporting screen recording demonstrates this functionality. However, the tutorial only covers displaying the contents of a table or view. There is no information on modifying the table (via a checkbox or otherwise). A subsequent guide does discuss writing to a table though it’s not in terms of the “to-do list” block.

Hi All, I am very new to airtable and trying to decide if this tool is right for our team. I think that it is, I am just having an issue trying to calculate the percentage. I have a count of subtasks as well as a count of the completed subtasks (linked record to another table,‘subtasks’). I wanted to use these two fields to calculate the percentage of completion. I added a new field and called it percentage complete and used the below formula: {Number of Completed Subtasks}/Number of subtasks and formatted as percentage. Since some items do not have any subtasks at all (0) I am getting the NaN error for percentage. How can I rectify this so that the NaN error, essentially 0/0 returns an actual percentage to help me with the bigger picture? I have added a screenshot for reference: any help is appreciated, thanks!

Hi everyone, Is there anyway to make one-to-many relationship kind of master-slave relationship? What I mean by master-slave here is making one table master and the other slave so if someone deletes a record in the master table, related records in the slave table would be automatically deleted. Is this kind of things are possible? Thanks!

Hi, is there any way for us to search for keywords in hidden fields? We have a ‘Tags’ column but it is not aesthetically pleasing in Gallery view. Is there a method or workaround? Many thanks

I have 3 tables in my database. Table 1 EVENTS. Table 2 SOURCES. Table 3 RESEARCH. Tables 1 and 2 are linked by the source number in Table 2. If I link the source number to findings on Table 3, will I cause a problem? I am clearly a newbie and appreciate any support. Thank you.

Hi there, I was wondering if someone could help me create a formula so that if I have a Text field, it can automatically add a “( )” around the first 2 or 3 digits? I know I could use the phone number field option but I rather not. EX: 1301234901 --> (130)1234901 OR (21)301234901 So far this I’ve gotten the following but they’re applied in separate fields. EX: “Field 1- Number”, Formula: LEFT({Number}, 3) As you’ll see by using this formula, it only isolates the 3 characters. Ex: “Field 1- Number”, Formula: IF(LEFT({text number}, 3),"(") This only gives me the ‘parenthesis’ in return. All help is appreciated :grinning:

I am attempting to create a payroll form for contractors to submit their hours on a daily basis. How do they take the shared form link I email them and have it installed on their IOS device as an app-let for daily submissions? I know how to create the link, its the other end of the install I am having issues with. Many thanks for your help.

Hello all, Forgive me for what seems like a silly question, I’m new to this and can’t figure this out. I would like to launch a website when I click a button in the scripting block. Is this possible? let purpose = await input.buttonsAsync( 'Are you Creating a Record?', [ {label: 'Create', value: 'creating'} ], ); if (purpose === 'creating') { //LAUNCH URL HERE }

Hi there, I am a relatively new Airtable user with a basic understanding of formulas which has held me in good stead until this week. I have a table linked to a form. It’s a form designed to use for a customer to hire various types of product for us. The form populates all the required information into a table where it shows all the relative information to us about what product they are hiring. The products are theatrical props and theatrical costumes. In the table, there are fields for “collection date” and “return date” for each above category and currently I have a field called “number of days hired” for each category that is reading those dates and working out the amount of days that product is hired by the current formula: DATETIME_DIFF({Date for costume return}, {Date for costume collection}, “days”) This field then multiples with the cost amount in a further field to tally the total cost. My issue is that when one of the date fields is empty I receive a NaN. And due to this, the

So I have a column titled “Days Since Update” which is the days since a certain date to today and then “Field 10” is based on an If Formula (if the status is completed it gives a 0). I now want a formula column which gives the smallest of these two values. I’ve tried Min formula however this ignores logical values (values in field 10). Does anyone have any suggestions? All I really want is that when the status is completed a value doesn’t come up in Days Since Update! Is there a way I can merge the Min and If formula together to achieve this? image|281x500

To create a more efficient process in pricing materials I’m working through different ideas and it’s just becoming messy. I’m trying to figure out if a formula would provide the best option or possibly a drop-down based on conditions. Example : I’d post a picture of my base, but it’s not quite finished, which is why I’m reaching out. If I need to purchase paint and paint supplies to bid materials needed correctly I’m trying to find the best option to fill in QTY TO ORDER gallon of paint is $30.00. Coverage area is 200 SF paintbrush is $2.00 needs replaced after 100 SF All materialS, coverage/price breakdown, is listed in a materials table. In the Bidding table I’d like to: COVERAGE AREA MATERIAL QTY TO ORDER PRICE Manual input SF, LF, tile count, etc. Manual input based on linked field based on the details from the materials table, this info is auto calculated Calculated by formula EXAMPLE OF WHAT I’M TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH 400 SF PAINT 2 GALLONS $60.00 400 SF PAINTBRUSH

My PDB report includes a Multiple Select field and the report requires a LIST format instead of the defaulted line of selected items… Q> Is there a way to have the print changed to a LIST format?

How the heck do I report bugs now? I have a linked record field that is supposed to be limited to a specific view. It works most of the time, but often enough, the entire linked table is exposed. When this linked record is functioning properly, I can hit enter, then enter again and select the desired record, as it is the first in the list. When it isn’t working properly and I do the same enter + enter combo, I select a name that shouldn’t be there. When the box closes out, no record is displayed in the linked record field. That is great, but something VERY ODD happens. The situation is this: Each project has several project contacts Each project contact is associated with one other contact (usually myself) While working on a project, if I need to add a new project contact, I simply click add new record From there, I select my name from the limited view linked record. When this doesn’t function properly, I mistakenly select the name of the first contact in my contacts table. This contac

I want to count the number of attendees on course. I’ve uplodad a pic of the formula. Any ideas what I’ve done wrong?

Is anyone using Memberstack and pulling data from Airtable to make a private client dashboard. I’m using Duda as CMS and have integrated Memberstack. Now I need to pull user data, stored in Airtable, and share with each client. Stuff like “Order numbers”, “tracking #”, etc.

How can I hide certain records from being displayed? We are using an Airtable form to collect entries but only want to display people we approve to the public gallery view that is embedded on our site. Is there an affordance to hide some records? For now, we just had to create a duplicate form to act as an overall collection sheet, from where I am then copying approved entries to the live gallery directory. Can this be made more efficient/easier?

I am attempting to calculate a cost per validation in a table using a Formula of two rollup Fields but I want the results to show either the resolution of the problem {column A}/{column B} or “0” if NaN or the sum of Field 1 if Infinity. Examples of problems: if Field 1 rollup is $1800.00 Field 2 rollup is 0 I need the formula in Field 3 {column A}/{column B} to show $1800.00 not Infinity if Field 1 rollup is $0.00 Field 2 rollup is 0 I need the formula in Field 3 {column A}/{column B} to show $1800.00 not NaN if Field 1 rollup is $1800.00 Field 2 rollup is 2 I need the formula in Field 3 {column A}/{column B} to show $900 Getting the formula to give me the last result is easy enough - but I can’t seem to figure out how to use nested if formula to give me either 0 or Feild 1 amount. Is anyone else able to help me build this formula? Please and thank you so much if so!
