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.

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

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

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!

I use a formula filterByFormula=Lower(E_Mail)=Lower("{user_email}". If there is a special Character of # or & or + in the e-mail address, for example debby+maier@gmail.com the formula does not find correspondig records in airtable. Special Characters like !$%’*-/=? within the E-Mail address are found. Can someone give me a workaround or solution. Thank you for your help

Hi, I’m not very clued up when it comes to the more complex features of Airtable so I’m hoping someone in this community can offer some assistance :slightly_smiling_face: I managed to solve part of my issue through searching these community forums here I am using UK postcodes to determine a salesperson’s region. I have a list of these vs salesperson which can be viewed here. I have a webform that is pulling into Airtable using Zapier so it populates the fields whenever a form is submitted. I’m now adding some extra fields to this so that our sales team can utilise the base as a leads tracker. I’ve got as far as using a formula to assign a salesperson based on the first 2 digits of the postcode: And that is working ok, but it leaves me with the issue of when a postcode starts with a single letter as is the case on line 5 here. I also wondered whether it’s possible to add a collaborator based on the postcode so that they would be notified, but I think that might be a step too far vs w

I am working on a database of the individuals in our feeding programme. In December we host an annual Christmas party for the kids between 5 and 16. How do I write a formula to identify these children? I have tried variations: IF({Current Age}>4 AND {Current Age}<17), ‘invite’) or IF( AND({Current Age}>4 {Current Age}<17), ‘invite’) and I just keep getting error messages. Clearly something is wrong with my format but I don’t know how to fix it. Please help :slightly_smiling_face:

Hi, I am still an Airtable newbie. We are trying to set up a database of families receiving food from our NGO. I have one table set up for the families (with information like their address, intake records, etc), and one for the records of each individual (with information like birthdate, school reports, gender, etc). I have managed to get column showing the number of individuals in each family (on the family table) and one showing which individuals are children (on the individuals table). Is there a way to get a column on the family table that gives the number of children (under 18s) in each family? (something like a combination of a count and formula field).

Hello Brains! I am looking for a way to quickly “fill inn the blanks” with the value of the above cell. Something like “if cell is empty, then copy value of above cell”. (This is an issue after my weekly import to my base) I know I can drag down to copy - but when there are many lines downwards, the speed is increasing to a level I am not in control of, and I risk scrolling too far and end up overwriting a cell. So I am stuck with ctrl+C, ctrl+V, but that makes a lot of manual work, and is a source for errors. (I also have coworkers in the base, so I need it to be easy, quick and safe). Any tips, tricks, formulas or scripts?

Hi there, I was able to grab a formula from this amazing community to show status of due items, which is working great – but I need to add in one layer and my attempts so far have only produced errors. Not sure if it’s possible or what I’m doing wrong. The current formula: IF({Due Date}="",“Not Set”, IF(AND(DATETIME_DIFF({Due Date},TODAY(),‘hours’) >=12,DATETIME_DIFF({Due Date},TODAY(),‘hours’) <=48),“Due Soon”,IF(IS_BEFORE({Due Date},TODAY()),“Past Due :no_entry: ”, IF(IS_SAME({Due Date},TODAY()),"Due Today :eight_spoked_asterisk: ",“Upcoming”)))) What I need to add to the above is : If Due Date is before today AND “Status” column = Done :heavy_check_mark: , then value should show as “Completed” Appreciate any help!! This community is amazing, and I’ve learned so much from you!
