Hi! I imported an Excel spreadsheet into a new Base. When I did, some of the addresses and phone numbers had a question mark appear next to them. What is this and how can I get rid of it? 434-332-8227�

Hello, I am trying to find out if there is a way to create a link, that when you click on it, it immediately brings you to/opens up a different table. For example: I have a main spreadsheet with labels in Column 1, stating the type of promotional item we need. T-Shirts, Coffee Cups, etc. Then I have a separate table for each type of item. So a table for T-Shirts with info on each t-shirt order. I want to be able to click on the word “T-shirts” from Column 1 in the main table, and have it open up the “T-Shirts” table with specific information on each order. I understand how to link so it will show you the records when you expand the data field, but I want to actually GO to that specific table. I also noticed if I try to do this with just a single data field, then it links ALL of the data fields in the column to the same record. I want each record to be able to link to a different table. I hope this makes sense! Please feel free to ask any additional needed questions. Thank you in advanc

Hi 3 tabs: vacation: form > start and end date vacation + linked records to “employees” so they can select themselves employees projects: per record 1 day to work on a project + linked records to “employees” to select technician Question: is there any way to signal in any way (preferably not being able to select the technician in question) that the selected/to be selected technician is on vacation on the workday in question?

Here is my goal. I have three fields within my table as follows: Button Field (for the purpose of running script, available in Beta) Check Box Field (used for filtering view) Linked Record Field I am looking for script (or other method) to do the following: Click button to run script Script marks Check Box with Check Script adds all available records from linked table in the Linked Record field. For example, say there are 3 records in the linked table. When I click the button in the record in my table, the Linked Record field should populate with links to those three records. Thanks!

Hi, With AirTable, can you create a view where you see the details of a single record and a list of linked records for a given field underneath? e.g. As per the above spreadsheet example: I have a Unit that has multiple fields, e.g. course description, learning outcomes … it would link to a Sessions table with multiple records there. Can I have a list of Sessions records underneath? Thanks, Daniel

I tried searching the forum but could not find what I am attempting to do. My objective is to create a Case Study and Employee Resume master database. My goal is to be able to select an employee, select a project that the employee worked on, and then receive an output that shows that employees resume description for that project. I’m stuck on how to achieve this in Airtable. Here are my tables so far: Case Studies Project Name Client Name Role State Employees that Worked on the Project Description of Project Role Firm Played … Clients Client Name Projects (linked) Main Contact Email …. Employees Employee Name Title Projects Employee Worked On (Linked) I’m not certain how to get to the next step. Where should I store the employee’s project description when I have 65 employees? Can I do conditional formatting to be able to select what I want? Any help would be greatly appreciate.

I’m trying to create a single-select field for easier sorting based on a compiled age based on the Birthdate (DOB) column. Here are my formulas: Age column: DATETIME_DIFF(TODAY(),{DOB}, “years”) Which returns the age of each student. Age Groups Column: IF( {Age} <= 2, ‘PRE-K’, IF( {Age} = 3, ‘3-5’, IF( {Age} = 4, ‘3-5’, IF( {Age} = 5, ‘3-5’ ) ) ) ) Please tell me there is an easier way to do this lol. I want it to autocompile, but I’d like it to be single-select rather than return plain text for the visual aspect with color coding. I hope this makes sense! The “Age Group” column is how I would like it to autocompile, allowing me to delete “Age Groups.” Attaching a photo for reference!

I am looking to create a button that will dial a number in a separate field with Ring Central. The URL I have for a standard dial is “rcmobile://call?number=+16194039535” however I’m not sure how to specify that instead of the number I want it to dial the number that is shown in the {Phone Number} field. I’ve tried various combinations at this point. Any suggestions?

Hi, I am having some issues with some fields that I’m rolling up. My goal is to use an automation via Integromat to take a Rollup field from a multi-select field in Base 1 and populate that data in Base 2 as another multi-select field. The rollup itself is generated from data in Base 1, where I have a “Posts” Table that shows various Social Media Posts. Each Post can be in multiple categories in a Multiple Select field, and each Post will link to a Report on a “Reports” Table. On the Reports Table, I am using a Rollup field to get all of the unique Categories associated with all of the linked Posts. This works perfectly when each Post only has 1 Category attached to it, but when the Post has multiple Categories attached to it, the data doesn’t show up or send to Base 2 correctly (like shown in the first screenshot). I have tried plenty of different things but can’t seem to get the data to populate correctly. I believe the issue has to do with Airtable reading each multi-select field

Hello, I am using AirTable for my plumbing company workflow. My base is currently set up with a table for Jobs (each record is a single job with info like data requested, job status, plumber, revenue, etc) and a linked table for Plumbers. I would like to be able to produce summary reports by week & month. For example, I would like to calculate the revenue generated by plumber for each week into a new record. This way I can summarize with a bar chart showing totally weekly revenue over time with a breakdown by plumber. In Excel, I would do this by creating a new Summary tab. It would have a table with Plumber Name across the columns and Week Of across the rows. I would SumIf with two arguments (date within a range and plumber name). It would have a final column totally revenue across all plumbers for each week. I could use this data to create various graphs. How can I recreate this summary in AirTable?

Hey folks. I am trying to read an Airtable view into a pandas dataframe and I am having a heck of a time to get it to work. I tried the airtable-python-wrapper, but no joy, something about the code causes it to die. Thanks

Hello! I am using airtable to track tasks that have been completed before a new hire starts. I currently have a Start Date (Field type is Date) and a Laptop Ordered (Field type is Checkbox). I would like to create an IF formula that comes down to: if laptop order is not checked AND the start date is less than 7 days, i get a message that says “late: needs ordering” I cannot figure out how to do IF functions with dates and then how to incorporate it into a larger, nested formula. Currently all I can get is the Check box to work I have: IF({Laptop Ordered}=1,“On Track”,“Late: Needs Ordering”)

Hi everyone, I’m having an issue that when I save an integer to a percent field, it appends 0.0% to the amount. Let’s say the value is 25 it’ll save as 250.0% anyone has an idea on why this is happening? And also on the API docs, the percent field is the only one that displays no info. I have attached screenshots of this.

Hi, I am trying to create a formula that will associate tags with a given row if that row contains text that matches entries in a row from another table. For example, we have a table that contains a set of emails received: Lisa spoke to a at b company Kyle spoke to c at d company Judy spoke to e at f company Another table contains a list of names such as: Judy Kyle Megan I want to create a field on the messages table that will show Judy and Kyle as associated tags for that message because the strings Kyle and Judy match the entries in the list of names. Appreciate any help! Andy

Hi there! I’m new to Airtable and trying to find the most efficient way to group individual freelance talent by discipline (Editors, Animators, Directors, Etc.) in GRID view within my base design. I’m finding the “group” or “filter” features to be confusing and sensitive - I’m not able to clearly find a solve for this & greatly appreciate any help!

I’ve tried to work this both using just the formula and also a combination of the formula and conditional fields (which seems like how it was designed to be used). I have an Inventory table that contains our inventory. I have an Orders table that contains our Orders. The Orders table references the Inventory to identify which item is being purchased. On the Inventory table I’d like to create a field that sums the amount of orders placed against an Inventory item so we can tell when we’re running low. Here I do a “rollup” field that has two conditions and a summation of the values for the formula. The first checks if the order was actually purchased. When I only use this condition, the field sums correctly. The second condition is suppose to take the linked field on the Orders table and check if it is the same as the Inventory Name. I try to use the {Name} designation for the field in the record but that doesn’t work. I’ve also tried a string just to see if that would work and it doesn

I would like to write a simple script block triggered by the new beta button to update fields in the record which the button was push. The use can is this. Our team uses a base to track orders through a production environment: planning to operations to lab to shipping. There are several fields that have to be updated to move the records from one department’s view to the next and it would be great to automate these updates with a button. I have no javascript experience so I really don’t know where to even start. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi all - I’m new to react and web dev in general. I have created a Box with a FormField inside. It displays correctly but I cannot seem to enter any text in the input field. It is not taking any values, like it is read-only. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong? Here is my code: <Box padding="20px" border="thick" borderRadius="large" > <div> <FormField label= {formLabel} > <Input placeholder = {descriptionPlaceHolder} value = {addDescription} onChange={e => addDescription = e.target.value} /> <Button style = {{marginTop: 10}} onClick = {() => {}} > Add </Button&gt

Hello, I’m trying to figure out how to wrap text that’s in a grid view. There doesn’t seem to be any control that allows for wrapping of text. I’m having the same problem with Page Designer as I had within the table itself: linked fields can’t be wrapped and get cut off by the width of the column. Original problem in the table is in this topic: https://community.airtable.com/t/how-to-wrap-text-in-linked-fields/30961?u=erik_staley How do I wrap this text? @Mohamed_Swellam you’d suggested that this was possible – how do you do that? Thanks, Erik

Hi, Just trying out Airtable as an alternative to Notion. So far so good, however there is an issue for me in Safari (v13.1.1, on macOS) in that I cannot scroll my table at all (horizontally or vertically). The same table works perfectly in Chrome on the same machine. Let me know how I can provide more details (i.e. a private link to the table if it helps support) Thanks - Ian.

We have used CSV Import block, and it work well. But when we integrate it into our website using iframe, it seems that CSV Import block didn’t work. Do CSV import block work within an iframe? Thank you.

Hi, I’m wanting to create a table with functionality such that: The “Name” of session Making Software is classified by “Topic” and “Subtopic”. Now, “Topic” is a linked to a list of records in the Topic table: This is pretty straightforward. And you can see that the Topic table links to a Subtopic table, with subtopics for each topic. When creating Sessions, I’d like to: Create a new Session record and specify the name (e.g. Making Software) Then select one of the Topics for that record (e.g. Computers) And then when I go to Subtopic for the Session … only subtopics for the topic are displayed and selectable (i.e. Apple & Windows are displayed, not Dyson) Is there some capability in AirTable that says: display the linked records for this table, but only those whose field matches that which is in this column? I hope that’s sufficiently clear :slightly_smiling_face: Thanks, Daniel

Hello Community! Hoping, yet again, for assistance from a Formula pro. My table has the following look up fields: 1 - {Invite Docs} 2 - {Other Task-Related Docs} 3 - {Calendaring Docs} 4 - {Plan/MTG/After Event Docs} If there is a document in any one of these four fields, I need the Formula to return a value of “Has Docs”. In oher words, records that have blanks in all four fields would not return the “Has Docs” value. I attempted an IF statement, but with unsatisfactory results! :worried: I’m afraid the use of BLANK () is currently beyond my skill level. Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide.
