Hello fellow Airtablers. I’m looking for something pretty specific, but not sure if it’s even possible. I have a “Created Time” field and a “Completed Date/Time” field. What I’m looking to create is a field with a formula that will generate both the # of work days and # of hours between the two. Is this even possible, currently? Currently the formula I have that only provides # of work days is: IF({Completed Date/Time}, WORKDAY_DIFF({Created Time}, {Completed Date/Time})) This is what it looks like. Any and all help would be appreciated!

Hi, just started using Airtable and I think it’s great. I was wondering if it’s possible to use the DATEADD() function to add a set number of months and subtract a set number of days in the same formula. I realise I could create two fields, one with DATEADD() for the months and a second with DATEADD() to subtract the days but just wondering if there’s a more elegant solution? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Hi, I have a field type that is multiple select. I have created a pivot table within ‘blocks’ to summarise these records by ‘Count’. Is there a way to order the Count from highest to lowest? Please refer to the red box around the values I wish to order. Regards, Tom.

Long topic title… sorry. I have a table of employees that are linked to various other tables. At times, duplicate entries have been created in error or linked records attributed to the wrong person. Is there a way, from within the employee table, to take all records from one linked field and paste them into another employee record, without overwriting what is there? For example: Julie Smith is duplicated in error. There is a table called clients. Julie Smith (record 1) has 50 linked client records. Julie Smith (record 2) has 20 linked client records. I want to move the client records from Julie Smith (record 2) into Julie Smith (record 1). If I cut and paste the 20 records, it overwrites the existing 50 records. This is true for 5 other linked tables across several records. I can change the name of Julie Smith (record 2) to “Fix Julie Smith” and then paste over every record in the 5 linked tables. But, I’m providing a single example of this occurring. I’ve taken over administration and

hey, whats the formula to subtract a week from a field with a date? thanks alot!

I need a simple formula for working out a suburb and it puts out a selected output. eg: if the suburb gorokan or toukley is in the field, the formula puts in KPM1. IF the suburb is hamlyn terrace it puts in KPM2 etc etc This will apply to 5 different outputs ( KPM1 KPM2 KPM 3 KPM4 LM1) based on the suburb. IF({Suburb}=“gorokan”, “KPM1”) This formula works great for the single suburb but I cant get it to output KPM1 if I put multiple suburbs in there I know it will be nested IF formulas but I just cant get this first one to work as expected. It will be simple im sure! lol

When I export as a CSV some of the data shows with a few random & unwanted quotes around the company name. The example here is Venoco, Inc… Within the contact entry none of the editable fields have quotes in them. I cannot find a way to edit these out besides editing the CSV once exported. Why does it show in the Donation column with “Quotes”? How can I remove them?! 30%20PM|567x499

Hi, we’re using a form to capture survey responses and my question is: how many responses, or records, can a base hold? 5k? 10k? Any idea? Thank you

I’m trying to update the duration fields via standard hh:mm:ss and my updates are failing. By no means an expert here so forgive my ignorance as the API documentation isn’t telling me much. What type of number should I be using in order for this to work? Should I be converting time to a UNIX timestamp or something else? Thanks in advance!

Hi all, Right now, I have one base with three tables. Table 1, Column 1: Person’s name Table 1, Column 2: Ability I was able to link Ability and and Name in Table 2 and came out with Table 2, Column 1: Ability Table 2, Column 2: All people that have the ability in Column 1 Now, I would like to rank each individual’s ability on a rating system from 1-5. There doesn’t seem to be able to transfer data from the other tables in order to individually rank each skill a person has. I’ve tried grouping by abilities in Table 1, but that just gives me multiple skills within a group instead of individual. For example: Ashleigh is has skills in knitting and gardening. Her knitting skill is a 3, her gardening is a 5. Ryan also has skills in gardening but also in martial arts. Their gardening skill is a 2, their martial arts at a 4. I enter both their name and talents in Table 1, Column 1 and 2 respectively and then link Abilities to Table 2. I can now see that both Ryan and Ashleigh have skills in g

I have {Date} in one column and am trying to list the corresponding day of the week in another column using the following formula: DATETIME_FORMAT({Date}, “dddd”) For most of my records, the correct day of the week is returned. However, I have at least one record that is returning the wrong date. December 7, 2019 is a Saturday according the the calendar but AirTable is calculating the day of the week as Sunday. Very strange. Any help or insight would be appreciated.

Hello everyone, We are doing a survey through an AirTable form but we need to display the content both in English and in French. Everything works just fine until we have long text options to a multiple/single select field, that are in both languages, and we need it to display the whole text. For example: As you can see, we can’t see half of the text for each option. Is there a way to display the full text? Thank you very much!

Hi Folks, I just heard of Airtable today, and I’m looking to see if it would be easier to use for me for an Access Family History project for personal use. I want to create a Formula field that simplifies surnames beginning with “Mac” & “Mc” to create a “Sort Surname” field where all “Mac” surnames become “Mc” surnames. Then they will sort together, since the two versions are often mis-spelled even for the same person. I have created a formula using my Surname field as follows (I used 300 for the mid command as I do not know the length of the surname field. Putting it this high should avoid errors) IF(LEFT(Surname,3,“Mac”),“Mc”& MID(Surname,4,300),Surname) It works perfectly for MacGillivray, Mackintosh, Macdonald etc, but it is not working for every non “Mac” surname. For example, it is turning Lumsden into Mcsden. What am I doing wrong so that the Logical test is not working. I had it working perfectly in Access. Thanks

Just started using Airtable, seemed perfect for my use. Spent the morning importing some CSV tables, making some forms and views and a couple of Kanbans. Great. Except now it’s unusable all of a sudden. It can take several minutes to switch views. Sometimes it’s then come up with a an error like “File not found” or “resource unavailable”. I really liked what I saw but it seems very flakey and unreliable. Is this normal? There’s only about 350 records in my Base, so I can’t imagine I am at all taxing the technology.

Hi everyone! I am having a hard time with some formulas due type of cells and blank cells. Hope you can help me. This is the Nested IF I wrote: IF( Cuota=PagoEnero, “Pagado”,IF(PagoEnero=BLANK(),“No” , IF(PagoEnero=0,Cuota-PagoEnero ,IF(Cuota-PagoEnero>0, Cuota-PagoEnero)))) The formula returns the same result if the cell is blank or is =0. I think this is because the statement will always be true in the second one but i dont know how to fix it My second issue is that, I do the same formula multiple times (Enero, Febrero…) and i need to summarize only the results that returns a number (not text) and make a sum For example: Enero=0, Febrero=No, Marzo= , … Returns: Enero CONCATENATE(IF(Enero=BLANK(), “”, IF(Enero=0, “Enero”, IF(Enero>0, “Pagado”))),IF(Febrero>0,"",“Febrero”)…and so on) I think due the column “Enero” is a formula does not recognize the result as a number, this is not working. I have tried to change text to number and it fixed but brings other problems. Could anyo

This works one row at a time. Would love to be able to do this to multiple records. I need to copy several rows that include one column that is a reference the RECORD_ID() for a given table and another cell that has one or more linked records from another table. The new table has a linked column to the table referenced in the RECORD_ID() above and a column that references the same linked field. Again, if I create a record and paste into it, it works great. The Record_ID reference connects to the original table we are pulling data from. Also, if I create 5 rows (as a for instance), I can paste 5 rows I copy from the original table. QUESTION: Is there any way to copy 40 rows of these two fields and paste them into the other table without first creating the rows in question as blank records? Basically, a paste/append. I hope this makes sense. Thanks for any insight.

Hi friends, I’m hoping someone can help troubleshoot why a conditional rollup is returning a zero “0” value. Table 1 has a list of vehicles. Table 2 records all certification renewals. There’s about a dozen different certifications required per vehicle, with varying expiry dates. I have a linked field in Table 2 connecting each certification expiry with a specific vehicle in Table 1. I have a helper column in Table 2 that filters the date for a specific certification type. I’m trying to run a Conditional Rollup in Table 1, that returns the MAX(values) from the helper column in Table 2. But it’s returning a zero “0” figure. Any pointers would be appreciated. :winking_face:

Hi, I’d like to remove the limit of 100 Rows on pagination in PowerBI. Can anybody please provide some code as I’m not good at code. Here is my current code: let Source = Json.Document(Web.Contents("https://api.airtable.com/v0/appqRdDk5cCOPccJ5/Third Inning Report?api_key=my_key_here")), #"Converted to Table" = Record.ToTable(Source), Value = #"Converted to Table"{0}[Value], #"Converted to Table1" = Table.FromList(Value, Splitter.SplitByNothing(), null, null, ExtraValues.Error), #"Expanded Column1" = Table.ExpandRecordColumn(#"Converted to Table1", "Column1", {"id", "fields", "createdTime"}, {"Column1.id", "Column1.fields", "Column1.createdTime"}), #"Expanded Column1.fields" = Table.ExpandRecordColumn(#"Expanded Column1", "Column1.fields", {"OpportunityID", "New Category", "Anticipated Timing", "Country", "Existing LP", "Client", "Reporting Name", "Low", "High", "Expected", "Comment", "Account", "BAI Status", "Status"}, {"Column1.fields.OpportunityID", "Column1.fields.New Category", "C

Hello Airtablers, I need to automate links between a table full of User records, including a unique user ID field, and a table full of Invoice records, each Invoice also includes a user ID field. New Invoice records get created more frequently than User records. For each new Invoice record that gets written to my Invoices table, I want Airtable to recognise the User ID and use this to auto-link to the corresponding User. A single User will have multiple Invoices, and each Invoice uniquely belongs to a single user. I need to be able to open a User record and have access to all the invoices that correspond to that user, and perform rollup calcs etc on the various fields in the Invoice records. I can do all this by manually linking each new Invoice record to a User record, but have not figured out how to automate this.

Hi, Quick question, can’t seem to see it in documentation. If I have a base, on a Pro account, and I want to invite a collaborator, that also has a pro account, do I have to pay for them to collaborate too? Cheers Jason

How can I create a “What’s New” view similar to Airtable’s "What’s New page? I tried to do it using a Record List but don’t see how it can be embedded and the Grid does not support the same formatting or popup functionality. Didn’t see any examples in any of the Forum posts. Any ideas? Thanks. Jens

I am looking to create a multi user membership management system. Does Airtable allows for audit trail of users, so that we may track which user alters a record?

This formula from the blog produces the result with at time: 9/30/19 12;00am What part of the formula needs to change to eliminate the time? DATETIME_PARSE(DATETIME_FORMAT({Period},‘MM/DD’)&"/"&YEAR(NOW())) Thank You

Hi all, I am trying to create a weighted pipeline in one of my bases and getting stuck on the formulas. I have a single select field Opportunity Status and I’ve created a nested IF formula to return a value based on each status: IF({Opportunity Status}=“Committed”,“1”,IF({Opportunity Status}=“Convincing”,".8",IF({Opportunity Status}=“Cultivating”,".4",IF({Opportunity Status}=“Engaging”,".1",IF({Opportunity Status}=“Received in Full”,“1”,IF({Opportunity Status}=“Received in Part”,“1”,“0”)))))) The formula itself works, but it’s not recognizing the values as numbers and the format option won’t let me change it. I need the field to be recognized as numbers so that I can make a second formula field that multiplies the Opportunity Amount by the result returned by the first field to show the weighted value (e.g., $100,000 at Opportunity Stage=Convincing should be multiplied by .8 and return $80,000.) Does anyone know how to do this or another work around?
