Solved

Hey there, I’ve already converted my array into a string, and each value is separated by a comma. It looks like this: 2019-12-23T00:00:00.000Z, 2019-11-23T00:00:00.000Z, 2019-12-27T00:00:00.000Z, 2019-11- 23T00:00:00.000Z, 2019-11-24T00:00:00.000Z I understand that Airtable doesn’t have index functionality, so how would I achieve this individually for each value? I’ll be splitting these up into 5 individual fields within my table. I know there are other topics on this, I couldn’t find the solution I was looking for on those. Thank you so much for your responses.

Hi, I’m a bit confused and was wondering whether someone can help me. Essentially I want to be able to link to files stored on Google Doc in the Attachments field on Airtable, rather than upload them. Now, when I add a file to the Attachment field, go and change the file in Google docs, it’s not ‘updated’ in Airtable. So, I assume this is because it’s uploading a copy of the file to Airtable, not linking to the Google Docs file. Is there any way to link to the actual file on Google Drive? I saw there is a Zapier that claims to do this…but it doesn’t seem to actually do that…instead it monitors the Google Drive and creates field entries when new files are created. I just want a simple link to a file hosted on Google Drive. Is there a simple way to do this that I’m missing? Thanks for your help.

A kind of Word-Blacklist : test1,test 2, test3, test4 and if question if its true then markt the formfield with the word Error how can i do that?

max 7 words seperated with , - is functionable count the words- functionable now how can i combine both into a formular? IF(LEN({Tags}) - LEN(SUBSTITUTE({Tags}, ‘,’, ‘’))>7, “ :x: ”, “ :white_check_mark: ” - LEN(SUBSTITUTE({Tags}, ‘,’, ‘’)) LEN({Tags}) - LEN(SUBSTITUTE({Tags}, ‘,’, ‘’))) Attachment fields: you say in the formular: attachment field then cames the full name and the link but i want ONLY THE link how can i do that?

by a normal multiple selector ist the normal seperator a , how can i seperate with ; instead , ?

i will combine: LEN({Long Text}) + IF(LEN({Long Text})>280, “ :x: Over Limit”, “ :white_check_mark: Under Limit”) The result should be: example: 150 :white_check_mark: Under Limit

Hey, I have a scenario in Integromat that integrates with my Airtable CRM and it triggers when someone buys my event ticket. When they buy the ticket, they fill some info like CNPJ and the contact email in a form. Then the integromat scenario runs, it need to find in Airtable the CNPJ (rollup field), if it matches the CNPJ in the field, great! if not, it should find the contact email in the field Email Contato 1 (rollup field that join values from many contacts), if the email matches, great, this is the right record, but if not, it should find the contact email in the field Email Contato 2 (rollup field that join values from many contacts), if it is the right record, great, but if not, it should be empty. I made a formula in integromat but it is not working as expected. It is below, but since integromat formulas change a bit because we can change the data before it goes to airtable, i’m also sending pictures. share.getcloudapp.com – 13 Nov 19 share.getcloudapp.com

Trying to figure out if it’s possible to achieve a multi-tenant architecture on top of airtable. In my case it’s a job / hiring system, so I want clients to have a view of data and candidates to have a separate view. This all works perfectly for read-only access right now using their shared views functionality. But I’d love to get write access in there as well. I don’t think this is possible out of the box with native airtable functionality so I’m open to suggestions that would involve custom API integration or other types of integrations. Would love any suggestions!

Hi there After searching here I have successfully created formulas to manipulate an email field and now I want to know if those formulas can be combined so I only need one extra field. I get email addresses like this … teacher1@plc.nsw.edu.au pupil2@students.acc.edu.au pupil3@student.ncc.vic.edu.au teacher@covenant.nsw.edu.au pupil5@chairo.vic.edu.au pupil6@student.ncc.vic.edu.au pupil7@students.acc.edu.au pupil8@students.acc.edu.au teacher@frsa.asn.au teacher@acc.edu.au and I want to end up with JUST the domain and with the “student” and “students” part stripped out (e.g. acc.edu.au, or frsa,asn.au I can end up with the domain by using this … RIGHT(email, SUM(LEN(email), -FIND("@", email))) And I can get rid of the “student” and “students” by using this … SUBSTITUTE( SUBSTITUTE( {email}, “students.”, “” ), “student.”, “” ) Is there anyway of joining these two so that I only have one field? I tried the “&” but I just end up with two domains. Many thanks! And thanks to those who po

Hello! I have a formula which builds record names based on the values of other columns: {Name} & " (with " & {Secondary Name} & ") " & " - " & {Event} & "\n " & {Year} & " | " & {Room} Result: John (with Jim) - Conference 2020 | Green Room However if there’s nothing in “Secondary Name” it displays: John (with ) - Conference 2020 | Green Room How do I get it to remove the "(with ) " when there’s nothing to fill it with? The secondary names are linked to other records so unfortunately I can’t just add the brackets to the column entry instead of putting them in the formula. Thanks in advance!

What determined the field order and hidden status of fields when adding to a record to a linked table cell. I’ve created a view with my key data entry fields at the start and all other fields hidden. I’ve specified that the linked record uses that view. That effective filters my records. However, when I create a new record (add new record) at the bottom of the linked record selection screen, the field order and field status is NOT represented. This is a significant issue. I am restructuring a large complex base and users have to scroll all over the record to find their data entry fields. Is there any way for me to control this?

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.
