I’m searching for the occurrence of a specific character in a text field with SEARCH but it doesn’t return any answer, can you help?

Is there a way I can add the same record twice in a linked record field? I’m building a product sales database. When I have 2 of the same item in a customer order, I can’t figure out how to add the same item twice in the order record. I’d rather not have to track each order item individually on it’s own row because it becomes difficult to calculate the shipping costs for each item in the same order. Thanks in advance for any help!

Hello! I’m new to Airtable and am loving it so far. I’m creating a database for online resources, aiming to be shared public, read-only. But I’d like to know if it’s possible to have anyone create their own Personal Views on it? Mainly for Galleries Is it doable, or does it require further steps, such as anyone who visits has to become a collaborator?

I am having trouble with a formula. I need to bring back an exact minute time but cannot figure out how to make it read the minutes in this equation. Can someone help?

Hi! We made an Airtable form and we have a custom domain that we want to mask the form’s URL. We can get our URL to redirect, but we get an error if we try to actually mask the Airtable URL. Does Airtable block this? Our domain name provider says it is on Airtable’s side.

This is the last post I found in the “community” on this topic with any clear response, as of July 2019. Is this still the status, or has there been an update? Replay from Cameron at Airtable: "Hi Gary, You can white label forms on[Airtable Pro but it isn’t currently possible to white label Airtable or add your own custom branding in any other way. I hope that helps! Cameron

I have a TablePickerSynced that I’d like to filter the options for. I’ve got the element conditionally disabled based on the presence of a selection in another TablePickerSynced: <FormField label="Which table holds the Events/Bookings?"> <TablePickerSynced globalConfigKey={GlobalConfigKeys.APPOINTMENTS_TABLE_ID} onChange={() => apptCheckTablesAreNotSame()} size="large" maxWidth="350px" disabled={!props.globalConfig.get(GlobalConfigKeys.PEOPLE_TABLE_ID)} /> </FormField> …but I’d also like the Tables available to be picked in this second TablePickerSynced to be filtered to only include those Tables to which the table selected in the first TablePickerSynced (props.globalConfig.get(GlobalConfigKeys.PEOPLE_TABLE_ID)) has a Linked Record relationship. Is this possible? I don’t see anything in the documentation that would indicate that it is, but I know the FieldPicker can at least disable certain options within the picker

How do I delete “unnamed record” across the gallery view or how do I fill it in? I can’t figure out either.

I am attempting to calculate asset depreciation using Airtable. I am calculating using the following Fields: Purchase Date: Date field Unrecovered Basis 1: A formula which is returning a currency value 1 Year (from Depreciation Conventions): This is a lookup to another table which has the 1 year depreciation amount. This is a numerical value (decimal) I have reduced the formula I am attempting to use down to it’s simplest form. There will be more switch states, but it doesn’t even work with the 1, so I didn’t want to confuse matters by adding more. The formula returns a result just fine, but I am unable to format it as a number (currency) and thus, am unable to use the value in future formulas. The Formula is this: SWITCH(DATETIME_FORMAT({Purchase Date}, ‘YYYY’) - 2015,1,{Unrecovered Basis 1}*{1 Year (from Depreciation Conventions)},BLANK()) When attempting to format the field, it states “Your result type is not a number or a date. Formatting options are currently only available if

Hello, I am a new user- I created an Airtable base that is updated via Zapier from a Google sheet. The records seem to be populating from the Google sheet correctly, but when I try to Group by Client name, not all the records are grouped. I will have some records with the same name in it’s own group. This has happened a number of times so manually dragging those records to the other grouped records of the same Client name has become cumbersome. Has anyone else experienced this and know of a fix or what I may possibly be doing wrong? Thanks in advance for any help on this topic.

I’m using the CollaboratorToken component: Airtable Airtable | Everyone's app platform Airtable is a low-code platform for building collaborative apps. Customize your workflow, collaborate, and achieve ambitious outcomes. Get started for free. but getting an issue. This works: <React.Fragment> {base.activeCollaborators.map(choice => ( <div> <p>{choice.id}</p> <p>{choice.name}</p> <p>{choice.email}</p> </div> ))} </React.Fragment> but the code in the docs is giving me an error: <React.Fragment> {base.activeCollaborators.map(choice => ( <CollaboratorToken key={choice.id} choice={choice} marginRight={1} /> ))} </React.Fragment> Any pointers on this one? I’m importing CollaboratorToken, useBase so think all is good there. Thanks!

Am trying to export or call two functions Eg. (teachers.js and student.js) that are link up to index.js but it throws error initializeBlock should only be called once. If i tried to call the both at index.js as per below, it will not work. initializeBlock(() => {<Teachers />; <Students />}); How do I solve this issue. student.js import {initializeBlock, useBase, useRecords, createRecordAsync, updateRecordAsync, updateRecordsAsync, table, useRecordIds} from '@airtable/blocks/ui'; import React, { Component } from "react"; import {base} from '@airtable/blocks'; function Students (){ const base = useBase(); const tab = base.getTableByNameIfExists('students_table'); const records = useRecords(tab); return ( <ul> <h1>Welcome to Students Records</h1> <br /> {records.map(record => { return <li key={record.id}>{record.id}</li> })} </ul> ); } //initializeBl

I’m doing a simple budget with Airtable, and when I had done it previously there had been a summary bar at the bottom that summarized the currency fields. Now I don’t see any such thing. Is that only part of Pro now? Did they take it away entirely? Or do you need to manually add in the summary bar?

Hi, Airtable newbie here. We are trying to setup a table that calculates farm type based on size of farm. The result we are looking for is this: Acres…Farm Type Empty…Unknown 0.0…Landless 0.1-5.0…Small 5.1-20.0…Medium 20.1+…Large Trying to use this formula: IF(Acres = "", "Unknown", IF(Acres >= 20.1, "Large", IF(Acres >= 5.1, "Medium", IF(Acres >= 0.1, "Small", IF(Acres >= 0.0, "Landless", "Unknown" ))))) This is causing a conflict between Unknown and Landless. Any idea why and how to fix this? Please help. Thanks in advance.

I have a table with {date_approved} column, now I want to summarize the count for this per week. For example: {date_approved} | {count} 06/01/2020 | 5 06/02/2020 | 5 06/03/2020 | 5 06/04/2020 | 5 06/05/2020 | 5 06/06/2020 | 5 06/07/2020 | 5 06/08/2020 | 5 06/09/2020 | 5 Let’s say 06/01/2020 and 06/08/2020 is Monday. 06/07/2020 is Sunday. Total count: 35 (Monday to Sunday) At present, this block is only summarizing the count per week, Monday to Sunday. But I it to count/group from Friday to Thursday by default. Is this possible? If not, what should I do to get the same effect? I just want to get a summary of {count} each custom week range {date_approved}. Thanks!

Hi, I have a table with several categories and they all have a month assigned to them (essentially types of activities being undertaken in that month). I want to create a view that shows one category across specific months. For example “Real Estate” in March, April and May. I can’t do it with filters, because I would need to combine AND OR filters. I saw a post about combining formulas: https://support.airtable.com/hc/en-us/articles/221561507-Combining-AND-and-OR-filters but can’t seem to write the correct formula for this. I would really appreciate any help! Thank you so much!

Can I create a formula for calculating Interest like the one I use in Excel: UPB*{Interest Rate}*(({To Date}-{Bill of Sale Date}))/365 In Airtable, this formula generates a NaN error message: I got it to work by breaking it out into two cells and using the formula recommended for differences in dates from Airtable’s support page on NaN errors: Cell labeled “test:” IF( AND( {Bill of Sale Date}, {To Date} ), DATETIME_DIFF({To Date},{Bill of Sale Date},‘days’), BLANK() ) And in another cell, this formula: UPB*{Interest Rate Total}*(test/365)

I’m trying to make gantt chart that calculates how long different product will take to make. Depending on how busy the workshop is we might work in the weekends - however if there is a national holiday or something similar we’ll not work. I’ve made comma separated iso dates for all holidays. I can easily calculate an end date with the WORKDAY(startDate, numDays, [holidays]) but I’m trying to find a way to calculate an end date if we worked in the weekends but not holiday. So basically is it possible to only exclude the holidays?

Is it possible to conditionally shade fields themselves instead of a color line on the left side of the entry? Those are NOT catching my eye at all, and I need them to!

I’m trying to make a script that’ll work along side the Gantt chart. I want the script to automatically to find the record above the current record and push that into a link field to create a dependency. Does anyone know if that possible? I’ve been looking through the documentation, and haven’t found anything to get me started.

I’m trying to connect to the API with a private code playground such as Codepen for quick experimentation. I’ve added the retrieve script to the JS editor: var Airtable = require("airtable"); var base = new Airtable({ apiKey: "key123" }).base( "app123" ); base("Base").find("rece123", function (err, record) { if (err) { console.error(err); return; } console.log("Retrieved", record.id); }); But I get this error: Uncaught ReferenceError: Airtable is not defined I’ve tried linking to the Airtable CDN but that hasn’t worked. What else am I missing to get this to work? Is there a simple way to get Airtable running in a JS editor in the browser? It’s private so the API key is protected. Here is a sample pen (not private with dummy key) https://codepen.io/meowpower/pen/eYJNoXK?editors=0011 Thanks in advance

I have a table which is a collection of contacts which are family units (kids & parents/guardians). I had planned on establishing relationships between records by having a “guardian” field which would be a link to a record in the same table. This works great. Problem is that when doing that between 2 tables it creates a linked field in both tables so I get bidirectional link. When linking to the same table I don’t get that bidirectional link - the “guardian” record can’t see what children it has. I feel like I’m missing something simple but I can’t think this morning. Any way to get the bidirectional link in the same table?
