Hi,Somehow Airtable doesn't understand my dates as dates so grouping goes wrong. In an interface I have a list of booked events that I want to be grouped by their date. That way, I can easily see day by day how many events are booked. The grouping column is based on a formula picking out only the date from another column where the full date/time is stored.As a European I prefer 'DD.MM.YYYY' as the format, so my formula to give only the date is:DATETIME_FORMAT({date/time},'DD.MM.YYYY')This gives me visually 27.5.2024 for May 27, 2024, which is what I want. The grouping result, however, becomes like this:02.06.202414.06.202422.05.202428.5.202431.5.2024Grouping is apparently performed on the first digits, not as dates.Why doesn't Airtable understand a date that is only formatted into DD.MM.YYYY as a date?Rgds,Björn

Working with birthdays where I only know the client's Month/Day and not their Year of birth.  So text field is 5/12 for example but I'd like to have an actual date of 5/12 so I can set up reminders 5 days before the actual birthday.  I used the following formula but it's not working correctly.  DATETIME_PARSE(Birthday, 'MM/DD')Thank you in advance

So let's say I have a table that is going to have different numbers in rows listed in a single column, like below.2331618And in another table, I have some ranges filled into two columns, with a min column and max column, and a third column with a name, like so below.0-10 Sally 11-20 Joe21-30 Bob31-40 JaneNow how do I have the first table use the second table to evaluate a number to determine which range it fits into so that it can show me the name in the first table?23 Bob31 Jane6 Sally18 JoeI'm OK with formulas prior to this need, but now I am totally lost. I don't know if I am supposed to use rollups, lookups, linked tables or what. I've never linked tables before and I need a guru to translate my need into something that gives me a clue on what to try. 1st time here on this forum.It's like I want to say "see which range my number fits into and display the name for me".My actual real-life problem is of a larger scale where I have close to a hundred ranges, not four like I have i

Does anyone know of documentation that has an example of creating each field type using Node.js?There are certain field types I am running into issues with such as date fields and currency fields and I can not find much documentation of when an example for each field completed looks like.

Interface designer is nice but on mobile it’s quite pointless and I hope I’m mmissing something. Wouldn’t want to use a 3rd party for building interfaces. the list views show a random number of fields see sceenshot below. How can this be fixed? Also, to add a record - you need to ba an editor. So bad 😞 I have loads of people only doing that. Submitting records. Now I must make a workaround - because through a form it works  

Hi,I have a series of lookup fields that return multiple dates.  I'd like to combine those fields into one, listing all of the dates returned in M/D/YYYY.  I've messed with datetime_parse and format with a concatenate, but the formatting is either not M/D/YYYY or it only returns the first date listed in a series in the lookup field.Thanks for any help!

I have an Excel formula I'd like to replicate in Airtable.This formula converts different currencies into GBP.Excel:=IF(M2+(N2/1.25)+(O2/1.2)+(P2/8.75)=0,"",M2+(N2/1.25)+(O2/1.2)+(P2/8.75))Key:£ GBP$ USD€ EUR¥ CNYM2N2O2P2How would I go about it? 

Hi there,I have this automation I have built and it looks right to me and passes the test. The test data populates in the destination table. But when I manually enter data into the source table nothing happens.Here is the automation: This is the destination table. The Article Number "F25NSECVR" was populated when I ran the test.This is the source table. I manually entered "F25TEST" and nothing happened.   

Hi,I'm trying to import duration data from a CSV (e.g., "2:52:32" meaning 2 hours, 52 min, 32 sec). The Airtable  Duration field is set up correctly (I think?) with the h:mm:ss time format selected. I want to keep it as a duration field so I can calculate sums, avgs, etc.When I import the data, the duration is not aligned correctly. For example, the original duration in the CSV is "23:51:52," but when it's imported, the duration is showing as "0:23."What can I do to correct this? Thank you so much.

I am trying to take the word count of a book (ex: 100,000 words)divide that by 9,300 (which is how many words an average narrator can read per hour)to come out with the actual time in HH:MM format. This is the formula I have currently and how it turns out. .   What formula would I use to divide the word count by 9300 to come out with a HH:MM?

Hi,Looking at creating a dashboard for an CRM/ERP application. One key metric to show would be conversion, i.e. percentage of leads that became customers. Since the dashboard "Number" element can only summarise a given column, not perform calculations between columns, I created a new table "BI" to hold various metrics that I will need.In that table it is easy to link e.g. all contacts and perform rollups and formula calculations to get the needed metric. But then I realised I seemingly cannot place an individual record, say "Overall conversion" (formula: customers / all leads) in the dashboard.I found that number or graph elements could be used to summarise e.g. yes/no columns which in a way would show the same information, but I'd prefer a simple "Conversion: 42%" instead of a whole graph with all the other, unnecessary information.How would you go about this?Rgds,Björn

Hi! Currently I have a field which is returning a "Modified At" date. This field is a standard field (no formula) and it is returning the modified date of another field (our "Feedback" field).This is what it is returning in a problematic record:However, when I look at the revision history of the record, it says that the most recent update to this field was one month ago.Can someone help me understand why there is a lack of parity between this modified at date and the revision history?

Whilst a fan of online apps and data, the paranoid in me wonders what I would do if your website goes down or gets compromised. Is there an easy way to backup my bases for local storage?

I know we can export data in .csv format but is there really no option in Airtable to basically download/export the whole DB?

I have a problem with a script that worked and all of a sudden, stopped to work:"App Name" is a linked record field. "Add App On Sign Up" is another linked record field. When a value is inserted in "Add App On Sign Up", I need this value to be inserted in "App Name" (inserted, meaning adding a value, not replacing a value to "App Name".Anyone has a better script to propose?The error message is:Error: Field "fldGBiazYCpFzbsOv" cannot accept the provided value. at main on line 12Field "fldGBiazYCpFzbsOv" is the field id of App Name   const table = base.getTable("Members"); const query = await table.selectRecordsAsync(); for (const record of query.records) { const appNames = record.getCellValue("App Name"); const addAppOnSignUp = record.getCellValue("Add App On Sign Up"); if (appNames && addAppOnSignUp) { const updatedAppNames = appNames.map(appName => appName).concat(addAppOnSignUp); await table.updateRecordAsync(record, { "App Na

If I have a custom script as an action in an automation, is there anyway to have a catch or else statement that would create a failed automation notification like there is for the built in actions?Meaning, how can I set up a notification system if a custom script fails?

Hello! I am trying to format my data in a very specific way and require underscores between the text. I know when using a Lookup and formula there are challenges because the Lookup format is not a string and the commas within the field do not actually exist. I tried converting the field to a string and using a substitute formula but that just removed the commas and spaces from the field. Current Lookup Format: pa, nv, flSubstitute Format: panvflDesired Format: pa_nv_flDoes anyone know if there is a formula to add underscores to a lookup field that contains multiple options?Thank you in advance and I appreciate any support in solving this!

Hello,We're an edtech startup for high school students.In addition to the in-app exams and quizzes, we also run offline exams in Telegram groups to mimic school exams (around 3 times a week).We send out a pdf to a group chat, and then each student solves the exam by hand, and then takes a picture and sends it back to us. Our teachers then give each student a grade and reply to that student. This is important because we want to see the steps in their solutions.These offline test scores need to saved so we can achieve the following:- Keep track of each student's scores over the school year- We send out report cards based on these scores- Check if a student doesn't have a score recorded, so we can check if they didn't do the assignment (assuming it wasn't an error on our side)- Keep track of when our teachers submit a score (to ensure timely responses)Right now this is all done on sheets.We were thinking of using Airtable.Do you think this is something that can be achieved? I didn't find

I'm trying to filter my extract by the bank that the user select, but i'm always getting null.What am i doing wrong?const extract = await Extract.selectRecordsAsync({    fields: ["Name", "Data", "Valor", "Bank"]}).then(query => query.records)let bank = await input.recordAsync("Escolha um banco: ", Banks)const extractByBank = extract.filter(ext => ext.getCellValue("Bank") == [bank])

Trying to automate our UPC code generation (not the barcode image). We have our company prefix, and I know how to do the check sum. What I can’t figure out in AT is to process the current numbers already used/assigned in our block, and see what is the first missing number in the sequence. So we should have 10K numbers in our block, 00000 - 99999. We have used random numbers in past, all done manually. I would like to do this automatically in future by looking at that above sequence, removing anything that has been used, and then using the lowest number possible to start auto assigning SKU’s to projects moving forward. If this needs to be a script, can it be run by a button and/or an automation triggered by conditions?

I am using Airtable to manage a sales pipeline. I have created a sales dashboard using interfaces which reads across all opportunities. I want to be able to create quarterly and monthly reports by duplicating this dashboard and then filtering the records it reads to a specific date range.I can't seem to find the option for filtering a dashboard at the global level - does it exist?

Hi,I'd like to insert the error message into a field, so I used try catch with both of them updating a variable, which I then used to update the field. Weird; it only updated on success, not on error. Can anyone help? let config = input.config(); const recordId = config.recordid; let tabletable = config.tabletable; let table = base.getTable(tabletable); let query = await table.selectRecordsAsync({ fields: ["Error"] }); let err; try { await table.updateRecordAsync(recordId, { "Eat": "Cheese" // no such field }) err = "Code executed successfully"; } catch (error) { err = error.message; } finally { console.log(err); await table.updateRecordAsync(recordId, { "Error": err } ); } console.log("Updated a record!");  CONSOLE.LOG "Could not find a field with name or ID "Eat"."

Odd one, but I've noticed it a couple of times in the last week, so I wonder if it's a quirk of a new update.Basically I have a Status dropdown with a default option applied, called PlannedOne view that has some filters, including "If {dropdown} = ARCHIVE: Amendment"There is no grouping for the dropdown options in this view.Yet, when I create a new record it defaults to ARCHIVE: Amendment.This is how the filters are setup. Anyone know why this is? It's very frustrating. Is this a bug?

Hello!Anyone have an idea as to why my line graph is a bunch of scribbles? I want to chart number of applicants to specific majors overtime from term to term. The terms are in the correct chronological order on the x-axis, but for some reason the lines start in random terms and jump to other random terms.Thank you for any help!  

I have a table of projects. Associated with each project is multiple teams and multiple quarters. Both the quarters and teams fields are sourced from linked records.I would like automation (or script) to create related projects in another table, one per multiselect field combination. I've tried creating a script with ChatGPT, but no luck. I also so some other solutions in the community that were similar, but not quite the same as my situation. Any suggestions?
