Hi! I’m one of those that like organizing and solving things, but is horrid at learning things strictly through textbooks and other textbased material. I learn best through application and therfore have a base where I try all kinds of things for the purpose of learning. I needed a new challenge and I usually try ideas that can be translated for other uses down the line. As I already have a column for { :id: Birthday} in my base I thought I could have it calculate Zodiac sign and even Chinese Zodiac based on the date entered there. Now to the questions. As I have more than one question I’ve marked them as A1, A2, A3…; B1, B2, B3… for ease. A - Zodiac sign I’m aweful at nesting formulas, so I came up with this that serves the purpose of finding the zodiac sign. IF( AND(DATETIME_FORMAT({🆔 Birthday}, 'MM/DD') >= "01-01", DATETIME_FORMAT({🆔 Birthday}, 'MM/DD') <= "01-19"), "« ♑ Capricorn »\n",'') &''&IF( AND(DATETIME_FORMAT({🆔 Birthday}, 'MM/DD') >= "01-20", DATET

Hi All, I’m new to Airtable and need some help please. I have 2 tabs one for Projects and another is Tasks which breaks down each project where you can add multiple tasks related to that project. I wanted to know is there a way to automatically update the Project - “start date” and “due date”, to reflect the first start date of the list of Tasks and the last due date in that list? Thanks T

This is odd. The display field for one table in the base I’m working on shows a concatenated string that represents each record’s basic uniqueness. At the end of the string, there is a reference to a charge. Should look like “$121” etc. For most of the 1000 or so recs in the table right now, that’s how it’s working. But I noticed a few records that were displaying something like “$121.000000001”. Maybe 5% of my records are showing that, maybe fewer. The display field’s calc includes a reference to a field ‘ChargeX’, a formula field. ChargeX = HowMany * Rate. The values in HowMany and Rate are not always integers but they are usually integers and they are integers in the cases where this display problem occurs. So 1.1 * $110 returns ‘$121.00’. The formatting of the ChargeX field is set to Currency with a precision of 2 (ex: ‘$5.00’). So I’ve got a nice clean $121.00 sitting in the ChargeX field. But when the display field for the record grabs that value and sticks it at the end of the s

Hey folks - can’t seem to find this in the forum. We have an Overview table that has records that correspond to dates - every month for each year (say 2019 and 2020). In another table, we have a Linked Record column, where one can select which Overview record to link (ie the month it’s associated with). When the user clicks to select a Linked Record, we see the choices ordered in two different ways on two different bases: First: Second: It is not obvious at all how to affect the order of these choices, but we’d very much like to. We’d like them ordered the way the Grid view on our Overview table is ordered - by year and month - or at LEAST grouped by year. This is client-facing, so it’s pretty important for this to be sensible. How do we re-order these choices?

Hi Team, Is there any way to get the relational data in single query. I am getting the record id of another table. But i wants to get the full data of relational table along with id. Please suggest.

I need to concatenate a bunch of values from different fields to create a string result like this: 1.5 hours @ $125 The formula I’m trying to use is HowMany & " " & What & " @ $" & Rate~ I’m able to get everything except the “125” part of that result. The “1.5” part is pulled from a data-entry number field called “HowMany”. It works okay. The “125” comes from a formula field called Rate~ that uses a formula like this: VALUE( someNumeral ) The Rate~ field displays the correct value and moreover is used successfully in a simple math calculation formula. I thought that the VALUE() function converted a text numeral into a number. But when I add the reference to that field (the one that contains “125”), the string concatenation fails. It doesn’t matter whether I use CONCATENATE() or ampersands. Any suggestions? At the moment the only thing I can think of is that, for some reason, an entered number value in a number field is somehow flexible enough that it can be used in a co

I’m trying to figure out a formula to give me the following info in our age of Corona… I want to put a column on our main table that returns either a ‘yes’ or a ‘no’ based on data from 2 other tables. I’ve got the tables set up to give me a ‘1’ for a count so all I want is for the column on the main table to read data from those other two tables and give me a yes or no… possible?

I’m pulling a numeral out of a string, for example, extracting “27” from “WP27”. Is there a way to coerce that extracted numeral to a number value? I’ve discovered that Airtable throws an #ERROR if I use that extracted value in a math formula like MyExtractedNumber * ItemPrice. I presume that’s because it thinks the value in MyExtractedNumber is “27” and not simply 27, ie a text value and not a number. There’s a way in Airtable to create a date value from parts but I’ve searched for something like a NUMBER() function and can’t find it. Am I missing something? William

Here’s what I want to do (simplified for clarity). I have 5 blogs, and each one has 2 hyperlinks in it, that link out to the others. I want to be able to open one record, and see list of links to Outgoing Blogs, and then click on them, to see the record for those. The info I want to capture for each record in my ‘Blog’ base and are my columns from left to right are: Post URL (locked column), Post Title, Outgoing Links (set to link to another record in the same ‘Blog’ base, aka the Post URL column). The URLs in Outgoing Links are identical to the URLs in Post URL column, but the problem is, when I import my data from a CSV, with multiple Outgoing Links separated by commas, Airtable dosen’t map them to the existing Post URLs that contain all the other meta-data. Instead, it creates new records with just the Outgoing Link url. Does anyone know why this is happening? What am I doing wrong? And is what I want to do even possible in Airtable? Happy to share a link to the base in question, bu

What’s wrong with this formula? It references a single field named ‘Date’. That field usually will have a valid date in it, but in some cases the field might be left empty. In a separate formula field I’m trying to use this formula but it’s not working. IF ( Date = BLANK(), “Date Missing”, DATETIME_FORMAT(Date,‘YYYYMMDD’) ) What’s wrong with that? How else do I test to see if a field is empty? William

I have a column to which records can be added or deleted (Players). In another table I am trying to build a single select type field from which the user can select one option from the Players column. The options for this single select will need to be dynamic, read from the Players column at the time of selection. Is there a way to achieve this?

Use Case: I sell widgets and the quantity of widgets generates will generate (with a formula) the number of boxes that will be required to ship the order. I have a view filtered for orders ready to ship and export this information to a .csv and then import the orders into my shipping application, stamps.com. Upon import, each row corresponds to a shipping label. The challenge is that I have to duplicate the rows x number of times to match the required number boxes. Is there a way to way to automate this process? My hunch is that it can be done with a script. However, I have 0 experience working with scripts. I’m happy to learn if this is the case and someone wants to point me in the right direction. I also have Zapier at my disposal if this helps solve the problem. Help or support would be greatly appreciated.

Why would this return blank and no errors? IF(AND({Status}=“AM: Follow Up on Proposal”,{24 Hours}=“2 Days”,“yes”,“no”)) Fields: Status=Single select 24 Hours=Formula

Hi everyone. I have 3 Columns. DUE DATE, PLANNING WEEKS & DEPARTURE DATE I want to use a formula that sets the DUE DATE by looking at the DEPARTURE DATE and subtracts the number of PLANNING WEEKS. In other words, I want to automatically set my DUE DATE of each task by the PLANNING WEEKS before we depart(DEPARTURE DATE). I hope this makes sense. Thank you so much. This will save us hours of planning. Brian.

Hello - I thought this would be rather easy to do, but something doesn’t seem to be working functionally. Any ideas why? I’d like to get the position of the word “Education” within the Company Industry (Lookup) field, which is a lookup on a second table. Why does it only work if it’s an exact match? And how can I adjust so that it also shows “1” for the fields with “Education Tech/Software”? (NOTE: I found it works if I change "Company Industry (Lookup) to a single line text, but I need the lookup formula) FIND("Education",{Company Industry (Lookup)})

I’ve been trying to display a Currency US Dollars with the traditional 2 digit cents, e.g. $24.31 But Airtable is not honoring the formating that’s been specified for my Cost Bais field. WHY? See the images Is there a way (easy) to make Airtable treat the floating point number as a dollar & cents figure?

Hi, my company uses Airtable to help project manage our operational processes. However, with safer in place enacted in California, we are unable to continue our operation for at least a month, and therefore we will not need the user accounts associated with our production managers until we can reopen. Since we are also looking for any ways we can cut costs right now, is it possible to suspend user accounts for a month and then re-enable them?

Airtable Newbie from Germany. On Android App right now. Set up my first base and tables. Customize fields: The first field I set up in each table can’t be reordered. It shows a lock sign (see screenshot). Even within new views it can’t be reordered. Why? Ought to be some kind of primary key field? Is there any way to reorder it? If not, I will always set these “first” fields up as auto-numbering fields. I did not find any information on this within help or community yet. Therefore your advice is appreciated. Thank you.

Hello, Is it possible for a good soul to fly to my rescue please? I wish to apply the following script on my base with the constraint that the calcul must be reset each time I pass on a new groupfield. Being a novice I don’t see how to modify my script to apply this constraint. The script I use is: let table = base.getTable(‘Data’); let view = table.getView(‘Grid view’); let result = await view.selectRecordsAsync({ sorts: [ {field: ‘Identifiant Fournisseur’}, ] }); let runningTotal = 0; for (let record of result.records) { runningTotal += record.getCellValue(‘Quantité Collectée’); await table.updateRecordAsync(record, { ‘Test’: runningTotal, }); }

Is there an ability to give outside access or sub-admin access to specified cells or information on a database spreadsheet resulted from form inputs? For instance, It would be awesome if someone could just see ‘Portland’ associated submissions on the back end based on that cells data. (being portland)

I created a table. Then I created multiple grid views (with various filters and sorts on them). Now I need to add a new field (column) and I want it to show up on all the grid views. So far, I can only get it to show on the one I add it to. Thanks for your help!
