Solved

Hello Airtable Community! I need help figuring out an easy data entry model for our YOY production reports.The basics: We have ~150 clients and ~75 suppliers (every year some clients leave, some are added, which is true for suppliers as well, meaning those lists are not static). Our clients sell products from our suppliers. For every year, our suppliers report sales for each client, which we collate into an individual sales report per client (I need help with reporting too, but that's a problem for another day). So each record in the production table is something like this:(linked to Client Table)(linked to Supplier Table Sync)Sales YearSales AmountClient ASupplier 12023$1,000Client BSupplier 12023$0Client CSupplier 12023$5,000Client ASupplier 22023$500Client BSupplier 22023$10,000Client CSupplier 22023$0Client ASupplier 12024$750Client CSupplier 12024$1,000Other info: The client table and production table are two separate tables/tabs in one base (client base), and the supplier list is

I'm using the 'color' attribute to color-code my fields according to type of item in the primary field, but now I have reached six colors (including the default color), I cannot proceed any further.Is this normal?

Hi everyone! I'm struggling to create an automation. We have a list of customer-support interactions that are either marked as Open, In Progress, or Resolved. For the most part, interactions are resolved same-day, but occasionally, some will need to be left as Open or In Progress, creating the need for a daily email summary that lists those unresolved interactions (if there are any). With that, I've been trying to create a scheduled automation that runs at 8:30 AM every day based on a view (that is set to only show unresolved interactions), and I'd like the automation to only send the email if there are items within that view. I've been trying to configure this, but with no luck. I'm not sure what I'm doing incorrectly (maybe it's my "Find records" step?) There's currently 1 record within that view, but when I test the automation in it's current state (attached) it's not meeting the conditions. Any ideas? Thank you in advance! 

Hello! Im looking to recreate this function in Airtable=COUNTA(UNIQUE(Masterlist!C5:C))Where the column in Airtable I'm looking to count unique entries in is called CLIENT NAME. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like the UNIQUE function works, is there a replacement or workaround?In short, I'm looking for a way to count unique entires in the CLIENT NAME column, i.e.:McFly, MartyMcFly, MartyGambini, VincentIpkiss, StanleyIpkiss, StanleyIpkiss, StanleyHillard, DanielCounting this column would come back as a count of 4Thanks in advance for any help 🙂

I'm making a dashboard from an interface, and when I display a number that is the sum or average of a group of fields it always displays the number with two digits after the decimal. Is there a way to round that number to no places after the decimal?Also for some of the numbers, I want to add a dollar sign to the beginning of the number. Is there a way to do that when the number is using a "Number" field?

Hey there. I’d like to alphabetize one set of records in a table but would like to write a formula that would exclude the word “the” at the beginning when alphabetizing. (I rather not just format as Title, The.) Any possible way to do this, or no, because this is essentially a sorting issue, not a formula/record-naming issue?

Hello! I'm hoping someone here is great with automations/scripting/something to help. I'm trying to run an automation every Sunday to randomize work tasks for my team and then send an email or Teams message. I want it to refresh the randomization when this runs at it's scheduled time. I have 6 members, and already have their off days input. The Airtable randomize values extension works for what I'm wanting (and avoids the cells that are already filled with "Off"), but I can't run it on an automation and honestly, I don't know enough about JavaScript to change the code. Their code requires inputs from the extension panel with the min/max bounds (mine would be set to 1,1, which is how it avoids the "Off" cells) AND the specific field to update. Here are my data references:Automation should run every Sunday at 3am (before anyone is logged in.. the time is somewhat arbitrary)Randomize each task excluding "Off"6 members in the first columnEach Day field is a multi select with

Why is the form interface different than editing an existing record for selected related/lookup fields in another table? The form interface for adding a new record is very minimal and only shows 1 field while editing an existing record shows multiple fields. Ideally, I want the new record form to show more details so I can filter out the best option. Is there any way to get the new form field to show more details?I've attached the screenshots below to show the differences: Adding new record form Editing existing recordBase details: I have a base with multiple tables that use lookup fields. 1 table for Publications1 table for ReferencesThe References table has a lookup to relate to individual Publications. 

Hello,I have a very simple request.I simply need to generate a formula to compute the first and last name of my contacts.However, as simple it is, I do not have the text format in the formatting bar. Only Number, Currency, Percent and Duration.Then it is impossible for me to create the basic field {First Name} & {Last Name}Is it possible to allow the text format anywhere?Thank you very much for your help.Franck

Hey everyone!I'm new to this and need some help. I have a list of client details that include two attachments: a price list and a software update list. These attachments are used in automated emails. Periodically, I need to update these attachments with the latest versions.I've tried two methods:1. Linked records: I created a second table with the attachments linked to the client list. However, I'm having trouble getting the attachments to appear in the client list.2. Update record automation: My understanding is that I need to first find the relevant records and then run a repeating group to update them. However, I'm facing two challenges here. First, it seems to only find up to 100 records, but our list is much larger. Second, I'm struggling to get the automation to work smoothly.Has anyone encountered a similar situation and found a solution? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Are empty record fields counted as 'Unique' in the Unique total number? I expect not, but just checking.

I have a single table where I have different columns for Town, County, Region etc. I then have a Description field with some generic copy but at the end I want to automatically add the Town name within its row (see image).E.g. Town: Aaron's HillDescription:  Welcome to the beautiful town of {Town}Seems like a fairly basic requirement but I've done a lot of Google searching and I can't find the answer. Any help very much appreciated  🙏  

Hello. I have used the script extension to get the URL stored in the URL field of the currently selected record. I am using the button field to send the URL to the script but ideally, I would want to just click on a record and the extension identifies the currently selected record. However, when I try to output the URL from the record in an iFrame, I simply get the HTML code for the iFrame in my output. How can I display the actual website? I know it is possible because the "URL Preview" extension built by Airtable is able to display some webpages.Here's a screenshot of what my output looks like:And here is my code:    let MyTable = base.getTable("Shopping List"); let field = MyTable.getField('URL'); // When run from a button field, the script skips the prompt // and automatically uses the button's record. let Record = await input.recordAsync('Choose a record', MyTable); // @TS11-ignore let Link = Record.getCellValue(field); // Display the iframe in the scripting e

How can I add all the values inside a particular cell in the Revenue AVIDZ (in Amount) and then present as "Total Revenue" hence stating revenue for a particular client?Revenue field is a lookup field.Here is the screenshot of the table: @TheTimeSavingCo can you please help?

I have a tasks table with a self-linking field that I use to define task predecessors. Is there a way when adding a predecessor to filter the options to show only those that relate to the relevant project/grouping?The problem I am trying to solve is that there may be many tasks with the same name so sorting through them to find the correct one takes time. For example, in my task table I may have the following:Project 1:Task 1Task 2Project 2:Task 1Task 2When selecting a predecessor for task 2 I have to wade through and find which Task 1 is the correct one for the project. May be helpful to know: my tasks table has another linked record field that links to a projects table, therefore each task is tied to a project. 

Hi there!As I am fine tuning the AT bases for our team, I seem to be missing something rather important here and thought I would ask the community about it as it seems to be rather significant.As we create tasks and assign to our team members, we would like the team members to login to AT and view those tasks. They can go into the various views but here they see all the tasks. This is fine as an overall project log. But if they then filter this list to show only those assigned to themselves, it seems to run the filter across ALL OTHER USERS viewing this page!If that's the normal behaviour, how does an editor/team member see only their assigned tasks without impacting the rest of the teams' views? Almost all other PM tools I have tested with (Monday, Asana etc.) have a dashboard page of sorts that shows their open items etc. But a personalization filter on the existing views may be enough for our needs.Please let me know as this is a rather important functionality to keep the informatio

Hi everyone,I am wondering if there is a workaround/solution without using make.com or scripting.I have data in one column for example. The column is a linked field.Items | Qty_to_BuyA|5A|1B|1B|1B|6C|10 I want to create a table with the following output.A | 6B|8C|10It is basically grouping by item but I want the output to show up as separate records. If possible I would like for it to be in the same base but a sync to other table also works. I would appreciate any suggestions. Thanks.

Hi.I have two Date files with Time Called Start and Ende.g.:Start=08.05.2024 09:54End= 08.05.2024 12:00in another filed I'd like to calculate this into hours rounded to full 15 minutes using:IF( AND({End}, {Start}),ROUND(DATETIME_DIFF({End}, {Start}, 'm') / 15) / 4) the result of this is 2 which is correct as I used "ROUND"But I'd actually like to ROUNDUP, so the result should be 2.25But when I change ROUND to ROUNDUP in the above formula, I just get #ERROR back Further down the road I'l like to convert the this into "working days" of 8 hours each So let's say I have two entries with 2 hours and 8 hours, that would sum up into 1,25 "working days" reason for this: I'm building a tracker of PS engagements. Customer purchases a fixed amount of days and engineers enter information about what work has been done. There can be multiple Tracker entries for a PS Project and I need to sum this up into "Working days" of 8 hours each any help here is highly appreciated&nbs

Hi, I have researched the forum but cant find the problem to my solution. Every time a record is updated in UseCases, I calculate a field call Environment_textual (example value would be "Negligible risk").I have another table called Environment_pics where I store pictures for each rating (e.g. there is a pic for "Negligible risk"). I want to create an automation which takes Environment_textual and copies it over to the linked field, so I can the picture in the UseCases list.I get an error for the last step.Should I copy the result in the linked field in UseCases or in the linked field of Environment_pics? For use cases it runs succesfully but the value is not inserted, for Environment_pics I get an error "The record does not exist"Please help. A gif would be me most welcome, or any description, link. Spent hours on this and is blocking me big time.Somewhat similar problem but didnt help me figure it out:https://community.airtable.com/t5/automations/a

Hi All,I'm having difficulty automating a task that I need for my database. Essentially what I'm trying to do is to have a default value in the "Link to Field" selection, which is then removed when another option is added. The data is currently pulled in from another table using a 'Link to Field' column, I currently have the automation working to add default option back when options are removed but having difficulty creating the script to remove the default option when a second option is added.Below is my current code, which pulls the current options from the cell and checks whether they are the same as the field being updated, which then passes those choices to an updateOptionsAsync, from which my understanding is the wrong function to be calling.Any help would be greatly appreciated!! let inputConfig = input.config();let currentRecord = (inputConfig.recordID);let table = base.getTable("Deals");let field = table.getField("Properties");let queryResult = await table.selectReco

Hi,I have a table called Launch Calander that I link records from other tables like Email task, Website tasks and Digital & Print tasks.The lookup fields for all the other records show fine in the Launch Calander except for Email.I've tried deleting the linked record for email and starting over by creating it again from within the Launch Calander, then creating Lookup Fields and making sure they are linked to the Email Linked Record. Yet, nothing shows up. 

Hi community, I’m building up automation with Gmail sending records to the mail address of the person who filled out the form. I used the Rollup field to pull the email address from the other table. I’ve run 50+ times testing trigger and all the steps which showed no error, but it never succeeded while actually performing the automation after submitting the form. I’ve also tried to delete and rebuild automation for 3 times but still in vain. I also assured that every cell of mail is not empty. I attached some screenshots of the condition. Is there any suggestion to fix the problem? Much appreciated!

I've used Airtable for several years and have a workspace with approximately 80 bases.  Prior to one of the "upgrades", I had organized my bases in a way that was easy for me to find which base I was looking for and that made sense to me.  Now that the workspaces are sorted by opened by you, alpha, or last modified, it is very time consuming to find the particular base that I am looking for.  The "upgrade" may have been great for many people, but it was horrible for me.I have looked and can't seem to find a way to manually sort my bases so that they stick.  I suspect that this is no longer an option for me.Does anyone have an answer?I tried to contact support, but it has been several weeks and the only communication that I received from them was asking if I had received an answer yet.  Of course, I had not, because no one had answered. Thanks!
