Solved

Hi all, I have a csv file with a column that contains the name of the project associated with the client. So I have a csv file with 2 columns: customer email, project name. I have to import this file into the customer table on Airtable where the “merge field” is the email and the project name must be inserted in a multiselect field. The problem is that many customers already have projects in their multiselect field and doing this import is all overwritten and only the last imported project remains. So the question is how is it possible to import (add) new values in “multiselect field” without overwriting the already existing values? Thanks so much everyone for the help

Hi there,I need to create 3 forms that are pretty much exactly the same, but the link for each is inserted into a different flyer which is going to three different groups of people - each form is then linked to an automation which will catagorise the respondent for us so we know which form they have filled out. The problem is the 3 forms need to have exactly the same display name, but I want to differentiate them by name in my base view, which I am unable to do at present. Does anyone have a solution?Thanks!

Hi. Thanks in advance for any help.I am importing a  CSV file out of another application that exports a field in a currency format. ($X,XXX.XX). I've created a currency field in Airtable to import it into, but AT always ignores it.So, I ended up exporting to Excel, changing that field to a number without a dollar sign and that allowed me to import it into the AT currency field.  However, I'd like to avoid this step and go directly from the exported CSV into AT without messing with Excel.I assumed this meant that Airtable wasn't recognizing it as a currency or number and wouldn't move it into the currency field. So, I thought I'd create a text field to import it into, then create a formula field to make it what I need it to be, but it won't import it into a text file either.Not sure why this is so difficult for me.  Any ideas welcome. Thanks again.

Hello all, I created a form, and one of the field values needs to be "1" as the default value. However, I need that hidden so that when someone goes to submit data, they don't have to fill that field in as "1".Now this is what I have:I tried hiding this field from the form options listed, but when I go to submit this form - it doesn't display a "1" in the field value on the table view. I also tried this method on the table view:When I go to create a record on the table view - it does default the value to "1", but on form submission - it does not. Any idea what it is that I'm doing wrong?Thanks. 

Any way to clear all records or delete a table through script?This don't work:do{let table = base.tables.pop();console.log(`Goodbye, ${table.name}!`);}while(base.tables.length>0) 

Hello Airtable people!I am trying to use the Rest API through a python script to create a subcategories table with a multipleRecordLinks field that links to a category table. I am having the toughest time trying to create this field and decipher the error messages I am getting. I am hoping someone on this community can help me.My first attempt looked something like this:{"description": "A list of all of the subcategories","fields": [{"name": "Category","options": {"linkedTableId": "tblPyvCqwd50kh7P2","inverseLinkFieldId": "flduKctYyZ1ckgVxR","isReversed": false,"prefersSingleRecordLink" : true},"type": "multipleRecordLinks"},{"description": "Name of the subcategory","name": "Subcategory Name","type": "singleLineText"},{"name": "Display Color","type": "singleLineText"}],"name": "SubCategories"}And I get this error message saying that options that I've included are not included:{'error': {'message': 'Invalid options for SubCategories.Category: Failed ''schema validation: inverseLinkField

I've seen this question, but not the type of answer I'm hoping for. A CURL example is a great for me to translate the request. Similar to the CURL examples in the docs for List Records, it looks like I should be able to request records 101-200 using the offset value returned in the original request. The docs say it's a Query, therefore: ...?offset=itrvDOnB9cbRDnn63/rec1VA0JPORC2S9Zz It's not working. I haven't inspected the returned headers yet. So the questions:-- should the request be RAW or POST?--should/could the request be a JSON payload instead of querystring params? I need to retrieve thousands of records. My follow up question for data from a different table, USING JSON Payloads can I somehow filter fields? There are many fields I really don't want to process on my end.Thanks,ScottIDS PS: I plan on using POSTMAN for testing.

Is there ANY possible way to add color to the "Number" field inside the interface?I would love to change this dynamically; if positive green, when negative red. I have a bunch of these numbers on my interface that I'd like to track, and having this basic functionality would help to draw attention 

I am working on a project for a service company. I have a table with clients and then a table of projects that are linked back to the client. Clients are assigned a rate based on different factors. The rate is carried through to any of the projects they are linked to via lookup field. However, I would like to override the lookup field should we have a promotional rate or a specific project needs to be billed at a different hourly rate. Any suggestions?

Is it possible to 2-Way Sync between a Business Workspace table and a table of a separate Team Workspace?Would it be setup from the Business Ws table?

Looks like all of my interfaces that have timeline views have pulled in all 'preview' fields into the record label ... Seems at the moment there's a bug where they can't be seperate and it looks super messy Thanks!Ross

We have a load of addresses in a database. They are individually pasted into a Long Text field.The issue:Some addresses are in this format - 51A Wigton RoadCarlisleCA2 7AYAnd some addresses are in this format- 51A Wigton RoadCARLISLECA2 7AY So the difference is that the Post Town is uppercase - which is what we want.But a lot of submissions have come through in lower case on that second to last line, which is incorrect. I need a formula to find and replace the all text before the last break and after the second to last break, ie. all text on the second to last line. And replace it with the same text but in UPPERcase.  The addresses are not always on 4 lines, sometimes they are on 5 lines, so we would need to work backwords from the last break. A formula to do this would be much appreciated.  Thank you in advance.

I have two tables:Table one shows a list of tasks done on different computers and when the task has been marked as finished:TaskId, FinishDateTime, Computername.In table two I have information who was logged in when on on which computer:DateTimeStart, DateTimeStop, EmloyeeName, Computer. I want to have in table one an extra column, showing the name of the EmployeeName that was working on that computer while the task was finished. So we need to use the FinishDateTime and Computername to query the other table to find a match with exactly this computer and FinishDateTime in range between DateTimeStart and DateTimeStop. The result of the formular should show just the Name of the Employee. I hope this is clear. How to create the formular? I am familiar with excel, where i would do some kind of nested vlookups, but have no idea how to achieve this in airtable.

I am trying to fix a formula for hours, but I can't find the error. For some reason, the last argument in an OR Formula is ignored.The base has 2 tables (Table 1 and Table 2)Table 1 has one record with the following values:Field 1 (single line text) = AField 2 (single line text) = BField 3 (single line text) = C Table 2 also has one record with a multi-select field. The values areField 1 = C, D, E, F My OR formula should check if any of the 3 values from the record (Table 1) is included in the multi-select field (array) of the record in Table 2.  OR( FIND(Field 1 (Table 1), Field 1 (Table 2)), FIND(Field 2 (Table 1), Field 1 (Table 2)), FIND(Field 3 (Table 1), Field 1 (Table 2)) )  When I add "C" to Field 2 (Table 1), then it's correctly counted.If I add C in Field 3 (Table 1) I don't get an error, and the formula just goes through. It just ignores the last argument, "FIND(Field 3 (Table 1), Field 1 (Table 2))". Does anyone have an idea

I have an Airtable automation that uses the AI module to summarize text fields for each record in a view. A repeating group iterates through that list. In Make, those newly updated records are processed through a Word template to output a report. I'd like to figure out a way to trigger them with one button press.There are three ways I'm aware of for triggering Make, but I can't figure out how to make any of them to work.Webhook doesn't work (I think) because I need it to happen sequentially, with the Airtable automation running first.Record update: my original plan was to update the status of a report record that Make was watching after the Airtable automation looped through the whole list, but it doesn't look like you can add another action after a repeating group. So I also tried a script within the group that would count the loop iterations and compare to the list length, and at the end of the last iteration, would update the record. But I don't think it's possible to save the itera

I want to create a chart that shows record counts of a table over time.  In our case, we have a table of clients and want to show how the total number of clients has changed over time.  I have a "Created time" column and I can use the COUNT formula to get the current number of clients, but I'm not sure how to get that COUNT over time.Any ideas?

I am trying to calculate the number of months between today's date and the "Test Date" field. When I use the DATETIME_DIFF formula it does not calculate it correctly for all values.  In the Test copy column I have this formula:DATETIME_DIFF({Test Date}, TODAY(), "months")It calculates some of the values correctly but then other ones wrong and I am uncertain how else to do this calculation in Airtable. What I need is that if todays date is Nov 7, 2024 then any dates in Nov 2024 would give a value of 0, any dates in October 2024 would show -1 but you can see the dates on October 16 and October 30 show a value of 0. You can see this issue also on the last row of the screen shot where the date of Jan 2, 2024 should be 2 but gives a value of 1.

I recently updated a form to "new forms" (by clicking on the "⇧ upgrade to new forms" button from a form view within a base) and edited/published the form via an Interface (as opposed to within a base, as I've done previously). I want to enable the same "email me at xxxxx@domain.org"  option that is available in the old form builder, but I don't see that option anywhere in the new Interfaces form builder. I've set up an automation to send me a generic email each time the form is submitted, but what I really want is the same nice email I used to get with an overview of the form responses. Am I missing something obvious? Or is this feature not available with "new forms"? Thanks!

Form question for you all. I need to capture phone number on an Airtable form however I can't figure out how to require it be entered as a 10 digit number so that area code is captured. The Phone number field type does not require the response to be 10 digits. I'm open to using the Formula field type however can't find a formula to use that would require 10 digits. Any help you can offer is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

@AasiaWhen a form is submitted from he/she.  I want that Airtable to send a confirmation email for successfully submitting the form. 

I have received a support request from one of my organisation’s users, copied below. Does anyone have any suggestions? Do AirTable forms bug on some browsers, for example? Other users have used the form and we have received the data. Many thanks in advance, Julie "I have just spent 3 hours filling in the form (Make a Policy Development Request) to have all the information I entered wiped. this is the 3rd time i have tried to present my proposal on this webpage to have all information wiped. this is highly frustrating."

Edit:Airtable response: Our engineering team has successfully deployed a fix for this issue (which arose from a recent update to our code) and any automations referencing an attachment should now run as expected without error.It's working again. Thank you all.---Hello.I've been using the Send Email action in automations for more than a year. Always worked great. In the Send Email action, in the Attachments section (Bottom) I selected the column that contained the file, and that file was attached in the email.3 days ago, my automation worked fine. But today, when the automation triggered, there was a problem (An attachment url is disallowed):I already turned off and on the automation, changed the trigger, changed pdf file for jpg, and always the same error.I tried the automation with records that already triggered a few days ago and worked fine (My trigger is a Single select column, so, to trigger it again, I deleted the value in the single select field, and select it again).
