Solved

Hi everyone, I’m new to Airtable. I wonder if anyone can please tell me how I can reorder the fields in this view please? (see attached image) I’m sure it must be very easy but I just can’t seem to figure it out. Thank you!

I consider myself a fairly adept user of Airtable, but I think this question is going to say otherwise. My objective is to see this (the red dollar sign represents my Job Cost field): So on a calendar view, I want to see a concatenation of the Company Name, Contact Name and the Job Cost. The Company and Contact are two separate linked tables, and work fine in the primary field using the following code: {Link to Companies}&" | "&{Link to Contacts} But my Job Cost field is a Lookup from another tab called Proposals. My modified code of: works fine in any field/column other than the primary field/column: When I add the same code to the Primary Field, I get this error: Which makes no sense to me (novice apparently). Is there a way to do what I am attempting to do? Here is a link to the base for your amusement and hopefully help:

Hi! I’m working on a historical database and am putting in birth and death dates for historical figures. I currently have those field types set as dates (YYYY-MM-DD). However, there are birth/death dates for which I don’t know the months or days for these people. Is there any way to input a date as just the year (YYYY) in records where I don’t know the month or day for these fields? Thanks!

Hello, How can I format date column as DD.MM.YYYY It does not include in pre-defined formats. As example predefined format for 1st of February 1985 is; 1.2.1985 What I want is; 01.02.1985

I’m just a start working in this script block, Not sure about is there any option to set a schedule for block code and run that periodically

Hi. I have original db in airtable. And i want to copy it to other tables (in same project) several times and filter by category. like this But as i understand, this is available in same table to another (grid) view. (i need table, not view. becuz the reason i do this is i am making an app by Thunkable) Or if i just duplicate a table, then it will not update automatically. So please help me. Do i need a script block or something?

Hi guys, I’ve got a form with a single select option, that’s linking to another table. However when you click to add, it shows all of the fields for all of the records in the linked table. Is there any way to prevent seeing all of the fields during selection? It pulls every field from the linked table. Thanks for your help!

Hi all, This may be a quick fix that I’m missing but figured I’d ask the community for guidance here: I have a base with 8 tables. On 1 master table, I have a primary field (auto-numbered) and 7 additional fields pulling in information from linked records across the other tables. Each record on this master table is only linked to 2-3 other tables, so the majority of the Linked column fields are blank - making it a pain to see all of the linked information quickly when expanding the record (I have to scroll passed a bunch of empty fields). I’m wondering if there is an easy way (using either a formula or rollup field) to create an additional column on this master table that searches the other 7 fields and if there is a linked record, pulls it in to this field. In a perfect world, the information being pulled in wouldn’t just be the text of the linked record but rather the actual link itself - essentially just combining all linked items across the different fields on the record into this

Hello! I’ve got a few questions that I’m having a hard time figuring out the best approach to solve or if it can be solved easily (very much not a JS person)… I want to create a record in a table based on conditions from the original table. The new record should copy information from the original table that are held as different field types. Something like this: Conditions for new record: If xTeam is in thisField, then create new record in otherTable Data to be copied: thisTable.launchDate = otherTable.liveDate thisTable.activityDescription = otherTable.description thisTable.launch = otherTable.launch --> (this is currently a lookup between the two tables where otherTable looks up thisTable) thisTable.activityOwner = otherTable.requestor --> (this is currently a lookup from a 3rd table) write otherTable.status as request Is this feasible in the scripting block? and are there any good examples/resources on the types of functions to write to execute this? I’m also concerned about d

I have rate fields low, mid, high. The rate fields are lookups - formatted as decimals. Then I have a formula field IF(rate = “low”, {low rate}, IF(rate = “mid”, {mid rate}, IF(rate=“high”, {high rate},""))) which results in the correct number, but the formula will not allow me to format as a number. What am I overlooking? Thanks!

I am trying to understand a why a simple MOD function isn’t returning the correct answer. Airtable Airtable: Organize anything you can imagine Airtable works like a spreadsheet but gives you the power of a database to organize anything. Sign up for free. ( I can grant you access so you can see the formulas) On the table titled “SEASON STATS OVERVIEW”, in the OVER field, I am trying to build a larger formula and part of it requires me to use the MOD function. The formula in the OVERS field is MOD({BALLS BOWLED},6) but for some reason the record for player 2 is returning a value of 6 when it should be 0. I have tested the MOD function for the number 30 as a number i.e. not generated from a roll up function and that works. But for some reason when the number 30 is generated from a Roll up formula is returns an incorrect value. I can grant creator access to you if you need to see the formula fields/ Any ideas/assistance, all gratefull

Hi all! I’m creating an airtable, but I have a user that I need to be able to see just one view, but not the whole table, for privacy reasons. I also do NOT want that view to be viewable to the public (by a link). Is this possible?

I am attempting to create multiple organization charts / “relationship maps” for all of my vendors (on a separate table). Right now the way the block is set up, it thinks that all of the rows belong to the same organization. However, as you’ll see I’ve linked the Vendor name to a different tab because there are multiple vendors that will each need their own relationship map. In the example I’ve shown, I’d like to have 1 organizational chart for Example - Dunder Mifflin and another for Wonka’s Chocolates. Is that possible without creating a new tab for each Vendor?

I want to allocate a list of numbers (product limited editions) to users. They will pick one by one their selected number and I want this number not to be avaliable anymore after the selection. Do you know how to do that ? Thanks a lot

Hi Everyone, I am new to Airtable and enjoy it (for the most part:). I am trying to concatenate two fields (done) and then replace or substitute the spaces " " with dashes “-”. I having trouble placing the substitute syntax and getting a circular reference error. Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi! Is there a keyboard shortcut to expand a linked record? Or has anyone found a different way of solving this? When interacting with mouse, clicking to expand the linked record is dangerously close to the X to remove the linked record… Thank you! Freddie

Hello, I have 2 fields, Collaborator and Formula. When I select a collaborator(any) I want the formula to show last modified time. Similar to this(this is for a checkbox, so it doesn’t work): IF({PAGO} = 1, LAST_MODIFIED_TIME({PAGO})) I have been messing arround with the formula but to no sucess. Thank you in advance.

Hello everyone, I am new to airtable, have been trying out a possible solution for my company for a few days now. Currently I have a table created with all the data I need. I have just created multiple Views with the results I want each collaborator to see and edit. What I don’t want is for them to see all the Views I have created. I know this is not possible(or is it?), but is there any other I could possibly go around it? What I am trying to do is create a database of Cars(car dealership) that are ready to be delivered. But they go through a process(the one I am creating right now). That said, I have a single table with all the fields I need to be filled. I have then created multiple views only showing the data each department needs to fill. I just don’t want collaborators to see or edit all the views. I want each department to only be able to See/Edit their own View. IF this is not possible, what can I do to achieve such results? Thanks in advance, hope you can help me, Daniel

Hi everyone! New to Airtable but already love the product! I’m hoping you can help. To determine which fish can go with another fish in a fish tank I created a table with two columns. Column A is the species of fish and Column B is a self-linked field of the fish that can go with it (simpatry fish). I want to make sure I don’t overuse any particular simpatry fish. I want to create Column C to count how many times my column A fish is used in any of the values in all of Column B. So row 5 (Heros severus) in my screenshot would have a value of 2 in Column C since it has simpatry with the fish in row 3 and row 4. That way I can find out how many times any fish in column A has been used as a simpatry fish. I hope this makes sense. Thanks in advance!

Hello - I am very new to Airtable (meaning…this morning :)) and I’m very much a newbie to any kind of spreadsheet. I’m trying to create a formula and am hoping I can get some guidance here . I’ve attached a screenshot to help illustrate what I’m trying to achieve - if the column Pay(X) is checked, then the amount in column Balance Due will be put into column Amount to Pay. Finally, the Amount to Pay should be totaled and put into column Bills to Pay Total. Thanks in advance for any assistance that can be provided! Sarah

I created a scheduling system in airtable where people can sign up for scheduled slots through a form. One table has the slots that are available, call this A. Another slot has the actual schedule where people can sign up for slots, call it B. When a person signs up for a slot, they pick their team which is referenced from another table, call it C. So, table A will link to a schedule entry B which will link to a team C. Is it possible to also link table A, the actual slots directly to the team C once the team has signed up?

I plan to make a database of transactions between users. In that case I can easily reach 1.200 rows, this means only 35 users making 35 tx between each other… this is nothing. Even 50k is too limited: only 200 users 200 transactions each. Am I understanding correctly the “Records” limit? Thanks. Javier Bonet

I’m using a Kanban view. When opening one of the records, I open a linked record from another table. How to I control which fields of that related record are shown vs hidden? It seems random.

Why is this this Balance Column not equal to Zero 0.00? My Formula is {Net Bill Amount}-{Total Paid} How can I build the Formula that is should say 0.00 , I need it as a 0.00 !!!

Is there a way to initialize fields of type Created Time and Modified Time from existing records of an imported sheet? That way, those fields will be correct for imported records and will be automatically updated as we add and edit subsequent records.
