Hi, when I call for a view, is there a way to only give back how the view really looks like, with all the hidden fields not in the response? Otherwise the view= Tag makes no sense imho. Best

How can I capture selected text using CSS selectors. The use case is that I want to capture some interesting lines/quotes from articles that I am reading. I tried using the ::selection however it does not seem to work. I am selecting the text manually myself so, it’s not that difficult to make a copy and do a paste after opening the extension. But having the selection populate automatically would be cool.

Hello, everyone! Could you guys lend me a hand, please? I am using this formula to calculate the number of delayed or advanced days for a step in a project development: IF(AND({01 Limite}, {01 Entrega}), WORKDAY_DIFF({01 Limite}, {01 Entrega}, ‘2020-05-01, 2020-06-11, 2020-09-07’), 0) But for some reason it is miss counting. For example: right now 01 LIMITE is 11/05/2020 and 01 ENTREGA is 11/05/2020, and the answer is ‘1’. Should be 0, right? Thanks in advance!

Is there a way to label unread items in Calendar view? Our planner is populated by a form and it’d be great to have a way to star or colour new items submitted by others outside of our team that haven’t yet been expanded. We’ve just started using Airtable a couple of days ago and so far it’s great. Appreciate any help you can give us :winking_face:

Hey there, Wondering if you all can help me with a Timezone issue I’m having that’s driving me nuts! I think it’s to do with GMT/BST but I would like any help in solving this because I can’t get it right. Trying to pair a Mentee and Mentor with each other, and they will live in different timezones, I can get the calendar invites to work, as it’s all based off nice and simple ISO time, but I can’t for the life of me get the timezone conversion to work in Airtable for local time (which I need for numerous other reasons related to communication) I’m using this formula to convert the time as follows: IF({Event Date + Start time}, DATETIME_FORMAT(SET_TIMEZONE(DATETIME_PARSE({Event Date + Start time}), {Mentor Timezone}), 'MM/DD/YYYY h:mm'),"") However, I’m getting a delta across Mentee and Mentor, as shown below in both tables: Can one of you kind folk help me work out what’s going on? Mentor View Mentee View As you can see, there are 6 columns in each, and the problem is that the Actual

We have an event table that keeps track of our client’s events around the globe. Each event takes place in a different time zone. But Airtable doesn’t allow us to attach a time zone to a date/time field. We need to view this time in 2 different ways: The “local time” of the event. This time should always remain the same in the system, since it is the “local time” of the event. The “translated time” to each user’s time zone when each user logs into the system, so they know what time the event takes place in their own time zone. How can we successfully use Airtable to accomplish this? Is this even possible in Airtable?

I love the idea behind editing field permissions but I think I’m missing the concept. I hope someone can answer a few questions or give me an example of how they are using this new feature. Thanks in advance. Is there a way to allow someone to fill in the “blocked” field? Preferably without using forms. I see potential in the field restriction for an issue we currently have. When a team member inputs project details to send to a 3rd party vendor to price - they are going back and editing these details AFTER they submit the form to the vendor. This is a huge no, as it could cause problems later since the quote will not match the original details. The only way I can think to avoid this and use the field editing restrictions is by using a form to write up the initial project details then prevent a change on the actual table. Ideas or suggestions? If a field is restricted what keeps a blocked user from deleting the record? Am I missing something here? I would love to see how others are

Hi all, Trying to wrap my head around this one. In my table I have 4 overarching categories: say A, B, C, D. Underneath each of those I have a variety of sub categories, around 5-10. Those two categories are single select fields. And each of those sub categories has a number of items attached to them, which are just longform text. What I’m trying to achieve is a numbering system that looks like this: 1.2.5 which translates to Category 1, subcategory 2, item 5 Is it possible to set something like this up? I’ve been playing around with formulas but have gotten stuck.

Hi Guys, I need help in developing a formula to calculate days between two dates that’s falling in a particular month. For Example - I am working on task for 3 hrs a day that started on 8th Mar 2020 and continued till 12th Jun 2020. I want to calculate no. of hrs in Mar, April, May and Jun in separate columns. In excel, I can directly derive these value through this formula: =if(max(min(< Task End Date>,< Month End Date>)-Max(< Task Start Date>,< Month Start Date>,0))>0,NETWORKDAYS.intl(max(< Month Start Date>,< Task Start Date>),min(< Task End Date>,< Month End Date>),1,< List of Holidays>),0)<No. of Hours

Hi everyone. I am trying to make a formula that will take two time-only fiends (formatted as) HH:00aa and give me the total time in hours rounded to the nearest quarter. (e.g. 2.75, 1.25). This has been very difficult since all of the help I could find seemed to be geared toward Date/Time fields. Thank you ahead of time for any help you can give me!

Hi people :grinning_face_with_big_eyes: I am trying to create a concatenate formula including a date-field. The date i the field is set to ‘european format’. But when I use it in the concatenate-formula, it gives me a different format and the hours as well… Can somebody help?

Is there any way to use the FIND function to search a field backwards (in reverse order)? In other words, I want to find the LAST occurrence of a certain letter/symbol in a field. So, let’s say I had this text in a field: cats_and_dogs_in_playground_part2_lg600125X7aspUT I want to find the position number of the FINAL underscore character so I could then use the LEFT or RIGHT functions to strip out all of the text before or after the position number of the final underscore character. The problem is that all of the fields will have a varying number of underscores, and all of the fields will have a varying number of characters both before & after the final underscore If the FIND formula enabled us to search BACKWARDS in a field, I could simply tell it to stop at the very first underscore character that it finds when searching in reverse. Or — if Airtable gave me some way to COUNT the number of underscores within the field (which would result in 6, based on the example above), and the

We’re still in the testing phase with airtable so we’re new to the tool. Question: how can you/do you filter (or search) on a number field? I’d like to filter for greater than or less than, or for numbers within a range, but the only filter options I see have no relationship to numbers and search doesn’t seem to work on a range. Use case: creating a mailing list for businesses of a certain size, or within a size range.

When I retrieve the content of a rich text enabled long text field through the API, only “bold” formatting works. Strikethrough and Italic are retrieved with a whitespace before the markdown symbol and therefore are not parsed correctly. Example: Is retrieved like this: You can see how 50 años posteriores shows up as _ 50 años posteriores_ instead of underscore50 años posterioresunderscore without spaces between the underscores and the thing I want to make italic. Has anyone experienced this? Is there a way to fix it?

I have the following code: let table = base.getTable("Volunteers") let view = table.getView("Grid view") let currentTableDat = await view.selectRecordsAsync({ fields:["Submitter Slack Email"] }); console.log(currentTableDat) No matter how I pass in the fields parameter, the output in the log block is always just the first column ( a timestamp). I’ve tried not passing in any option, passing in the field ID, etc. The query totally ignores any of the parameters. The table is full of data, and table.fields shows the other columns. Any help?

I am currently trying to get by without a dedicated TIME field with no date attached. I am currently trying to convert a text field into a timefield with the following code: DATETIME_FORMAT(DATETIME_PARSE({Start Time}, ‘hh:mm’), ‘hh:mm a’) The focumula is working fine, however when I write in a time, such as 3pm, it still parses it in as 3am. I note that if I put in 1500, it correctly parses the time to 3pm. I have worked in systems where you could put in variations of (3pm, 3p, 300pm, etc) and it would always know that meant PM. Is there a way to make airtable do this, and of course the converse with AM, so that I do not have to use military time?

Hi all! I have two fields, both filled with features. I want to see which features are repeated in both fields. For example, I want a column that would tell me that ‘Feature2’ is in both columns of row 1 (record1), Feature3 and Feature4 are both in the columns of record 2 and 'Feature1 and Feature3 are also both there in record 3. Maybe a formula like: If the text in column A is similar to the text in column B, then insert it in column C? I hope this is clear! Thanks in advance for your help!

Hello! I have built a database to record a patient’s treatment. I have shared with him a form to introduce the pills he takes… .but I still have to add up the number of tablets he takes in a day, a week or a month…. I have tried with sum and rollup formulas … BUT I DON’T KNOW HOW TO DO IT! Could you help me get it? What steps should I follow…. What can you think of?

In the image you can see it pulling in the whole record (2020 Sweden), But I actually only want to display a single field from that record. Is it possible to do this?

Hello all! I have been losing my mind for 4 hours on this ‘simple’ task I am trying to implement in my base. I want to automatically update several fields (example : set Phase to ‘Initiation’) when a new record is created. I am able to update all required fields with Zapier. My problem is I am unable to use the ‘Find record’ feature to update the last entry. It would be easy to fix if I was able to simply ‘Find record’ when ‘Field x is empty’ or ‘Find record’ when ‘Auto update for Zapier… = Created’… I don’t understand why I keep getting an error on Zapier… this field exists with only 1 entry set to ‘Created’… and this is the entry I want to update.

Hi all - we’re testing out Airtable and really like it, but I have a question. We have two tables in our test. Once contains company data (name, address, etc.). The other contains financial data that would be updated on a monthly basis from a secondary source. We’d basically upload updated data from a CSV file on a monthly basis. How do I update the field in the first table with updated/related records added to the second table after I upload the CSV?

This is admittedly an aesthetic concern, but I feel like it should be possible. I have a formula that tests a checkbox field, {Guild?}, to see if I owe fees for a given project to a guild I work with. If it is a guild project, then the formula should return a currency value equal to the amount received for the project, {Rec’d}, times the Cut field, which is a percentage. Currently, I have it written like so: IF({Guild?}=1, {Rec’d}*{Cut}, " ") This returns the right numbers for guild projects and leaves non-guild projects blank. Fine and good. However, I cannot use the field formatting options because the values are not all numbers. Is there a way to tell Airtable to return {Rec’d}*{Cut} as currency?

I am extracting a database of children’s books via Airtable API. This is my code so far(hiding my API KEY). It renders every book, but in a random order. I want to sort them by year. I am trying to follow the documentation from Airtable, which demonstrates the code to sort by multiple fields. I don’t really know where to place this code in my original code, and how to adapt it. Thanks for your help! import Hero from '../components/Hero'; class News extends Component { constructor(props) { super(props); this.state = { books: [], }; } componentDidMount() { fetch('https://api.airtable.com/v0/appYI3FvXw9Isfvj7/Favorites?api_key=API_KEY') .then((resp) => resp.json()) .then(data => { this.setState({ books: data.records }); }).catch(err => { // Error :( }); } render() { return ( <><Hero title="Children's Books"/> <div className="container mt-5"> <div className="row">

Hello everyone! This being my first posted question, please let me know if I haven’t provided enough information / context, or if this question is being asked in the wrong Category. This will help improve the way I phrase the question as well as where to address it. I am looking into Zapier, using it to automatically create a record, and when creating this record automatically filling in some of the data. Most of it is pretty straightforward, but I can’t figure out yet how to instruct Zapier to automatically check some of the checkboxes in the row / record. If anyone either knows the answer, or knows where I can find the answer, that would be great! If this question has been asked previously, I checked for an answer but I could have missed it, I will remove this question so that things will stay organised. Thanks in advance, Gunnar

I have been trying the Miro block, but so far I cannot get any rows / Miro shapes to update. The announcement has a GIF that makes it seem so, but is this even interactive?
