Hi, I'm new to airtable and am trying to get a simple conditional VAT formula to work. I feel like I am circling the solution but I'm not quite there. Essentially I am trying to track various hires and purchases for work, some of which have VAT and some do not. I have a Gross cost but I need the NET cost (without VAT).I currently have a VAT Field that is a single select field with options None and 20%. I'm trying to write a conditional formula for the NET Cost that is based on the VAT field and essentially works as follows:IF {VAT="NONE", Gross AmountIF {VAT="20%", (GROSS Amount/120)*100I keep getting invalid formula and error messages and I'm not quite sure what I'm missing.Any help greatly appreciated! 

Hello all,I have a problem that I'm trying to fix, and I have not been able to fix it with the posts with related questions.I have a field with numbers that I want to round up to another field with numbers. I'll explain the situation:So it's about ordering products. I get an order recommendation let's say for product A this is 55. But the products are packed in boxes of a certain quantity (let's say 20), so I cannot order 55 pieces, I'd have to order either 40 pieces or 60 pieces (2 or 3 boxes of 20 pieces).Is it possible to use a formula to automatically round the number upward to meet the required amount (in the examples this should be 60)?

Hello! I am trying to automate the following process: when a file is uploaded to a specific Dropbox folder, a new record is created in Airtable with the file attached. This works fine, but there is no preview in Airtable. I have created the following automation in Make (formerly Integromat):Here are the details of each step:  Below is what is seen in Airtable. As you can see, no preview is shown.I have already done some troubleshooting myself:I have tried uploading manually. This works fine and a preview shows up.I checked the limitations in Airtable's documentation: the image is not more than 1 million pixels. The image is uploaded to Airtable as .png, and not as a .zip file. I currently use Chrome, and I have tried using Safari as well.I have added another contributor to the Workspace, and they cannot see the preview either. The error message I see is: "Previews for this filetype are not available".Does anyone know a solution to this? If I cannot get the previews

I need help creating a formula.Basically I need this to do this:If there is an extension marked yes than the move-out date changes to how many day per the extend plus the move-out date. Ex if there is an extension original move-out date was 1/1/23 and there was 30 day extend the new date would be 1/31/23.If there is no extension then move-out date is move-out date. Ex: 1/1/23 is move out no extension then 1/1/23 stays the move-out. I would think this formula is it but it is not. IF({Is there an extension} = "yes", DATEADD({Lease End Date} + {If there is an extension how many days approved}, "days"), IF({Is there an extension} = "no", {Lease End Date}))

I am trying to send a form link to a customer who does not use airtable but when they try to access the link, it brings them to an airtable registration page. Is there a way around this? I want them to be able to fill out the form without having to sign-in or register. Thank you!

Hi Guys, Was frustrated with the lack of integration that is there currently with Airtable to Wix databases for a client. So made a solution which can be tested and checked out. I’ve used the integration features provided by Integromat, but there are certain “rules” to be followed for the integration to work. They’re all listed on the page and airtable sheet given. Let me know if the solution works for you all.

I have a field defined as Currency however when I add that field to the Message section of an email that I am creating from an Automation, the value does not appear as Currency. It does have the decimal point for the cents, and I can easily add “$” as part of the preceding text, but I would really like to see the commas that are part of the defined format on the field. Any ideas?

What would be the most practical way to incorporate multiple tables worth of calendars into one?  In an interface, to be specific.I have three tables worth of data I'd like to mix together in a single calendar.  I suppose I could have them all in one table, but I'm concerned it might make things a bit busy in that main table.I have Table 1 that is basically like a CRM for any incoming proposal requests for my business and I have a few date fields there.  3 sets of start and end dates to cover dates we'd hold for the client.Then I have Table 2 where we actually schedule specific events.  Just a start date (with a time) and an end date (with a time) for a specific event stemming from an approved project in Table 1.  1 entry in Table 1 could have 20 events in Table 2, mind you.  But every Table 2 event is linked to an entry in Table 1, so there's already a natural link there.Table 3, on the other hand, is less connected to Table 1 and 2.  This is just a

I have successfully gotten airtable to upload a PNG and a PDF from Dropbox. But when airtable processes the file, the type is listed as text/html If I include a type field, I get an error: { "fields": { "Type": "Test", "Comment": "", "Attachments": [ { "url": "https://www.dropbox.com/s/XXXXXXX/robots.png?dl=1", "type": "image/png" } ], "User": "", "Part": [ "recFI6JhdkwTCeB9q" ] } } And I receive this: { "error": { "type": "INVALID_ATTACHMENT_OBJECT", "message": "Invalid attachment object for field Attachments: {\n \\"url\\": \\"https://www.dropbox.com/s/XXXXXXXX/robots.png?dl=1\\",\n \\"type\\": \\"image/png\\"\n}" } } But if i just strio out the “type” there is no error, just the type is wrong.

Hi, I've been struggling with this for an hour and I'm hoping someone might be able to help.I have a Timeline Interface that displays a series of tasks, and I want my users to be able to edit the task fields - changing the assignee or the status for instance. I would either like to be able to add additional fields here to the initial small modal that appears when you click a task:Or, I would like to make the fields in the sidesheet editable. Based on what it says on this documentation page that should be possible, i.e. Click into record details - This setting allows end users to expand a record to see more details. You can choose to show the details as a Sidesheet or a Full-screen. Once enabled, creators can design record detail pages showing specific fields — in any orientation to their end users. Additionally, individual fields can be set to be View-only or Editable.  

Hello everyone! Relatively new to scripts, but I think I am starting to get the hang of it.Basically, I am trying to convert a currently overloaded automation into a script for easier maintenance and better customization. Overly simplified automation process:If record is updated > set [Ticket Status] = [Status] for that recordThe script so far: let table = base.getTable("Quick Adds"); let inputConfig = input.config(); await table.updateRecordAsync(inputConfig.RecordId,{ "Ticket Status" : inputConfig.Status }) console.log(`The value of Status is ${inputConfig.Status}`); If I remove the "await" line, everything runs and it outputs the status value. When I run the script with the addition of updating the second field, I get a "Error: Field "fldjRCz6y0ku2XxIY" cannot accept the provided value." for line 3.inputConfig.RecordID is the @ Airtable record ID fieldinputConfig.Status is the Status field

Hi Everyone, I want to create multiple forms to gather contacts for different reasons - Subscribers who want our newsletter Those who want to download our resource Those who fill out our profile form All of the forms capture Name, Email and then they have different fields. I want to keep all these contacts in the same table. I was hoping to have one table with 3 different form views. The issue is, I want to track how each contact came in, and I can’t figure out how to tag the submitted responses by the form they submitted. Instead, I have these split across different tables and I manually tag each, then copy/paste new responses into a master list. Am I missing something obvious here? I keep all the tables structured the same so the copy/paste to master is easy.

We have a table called Documents and I want to use a formula that pulls the name of the file in the {Attachment} field in order to provide the Name of the record. I've been using the LEFT({Attachments},FIND("(",{Attachments})-1) for this purpose and it works great, but I've now found that if the name of the attached file contains a comma, then the formula name adds a quotation mark at the beginning of the name. So now I'm trying to combine the SUBSTITUTE and FIND formulas to:1. Look at the name of the attached file, and if it contains a comma then replace it with a hyphen (eg. 'Ocala, FL' becomes 'Ocala-FL' )  2. Then use the name of the attached file as the name of the record without the URL at the end (using the FIND formula). Another acceptable option would be to just remove the comma from any file name in the {Attachments} field and then allow the original LEFT formula to do its work, but I think that might require an additional field. It's less elegant, but I'm

Hi there,In the last few months we been happy with getting an email on each new lead being created in one of our tables. The email contains all the needed data relevant for our sales team.

Hello, I'm trying to merge a CSV but the field that I need to map to is not available to select. I can't select the field I need as the merge field. It is not one of the options in the "choose a field" drop down.

Hey all I've created an automation where when a form is submitted - a record is updated. However! Sometimes there isn't a record to update, so it needs to be created first. So I need to create a process like this:WHEN a form is submitted AND record exists UPDATE it. IF record doesn't exist CREATE itBut the automation is getting stuck on the first part and fails to run into the second. I've taken a screen shot to show what I mean. How can I fix this?Thanks!

Structure is as follows:Project tab has all of our project records with around 50 fields of project-specific details.Some project records are categorized as "Original Project" and some are categorized as "Revision""Revisions" are linked to their "Original Project"I want to do the following:1. Create a new "revision record"2. Fill out ONLY the fields that will be changing 3. Link the "original project" in the "Original associated project field"4. When that field is updated, I want an automation to run that will copy and paste fields from the original project record to the revision project record, but ONLY for fields of the revision record that are empty.Example:"Original project record" fields/Project info:Unique Project Number: #557 (Autonumber)Customer name: John DoeSolar module: Mission Solar 400WQuantity: 25Inverter: Solaredge 7600kWProject type: Original ProjectAssociated Original project: None"Revision project record" fields/Project infoUnique Project Number: #558 (Autonumber

Hello! I'm new to Airtable formulas & could use some much needed guidance! I need to calculate the total with an option of a discount if a multi-select answer is chosen. For context, this is in reference to grades of elementary curriculum books purchased. I am trying to create a formula that will show me:If Rural Discount multi-select = 'Small school (one classroom per grade level)' answer, then total # of grades licensed x $250 + additional invoice amount= total invoice costIf Rural Discount multi-select does NOT equal 'Small school (one classroom per grade level)' answer, then total # of grades licensed x $500 + additional invoice amount= total invoice costHere was what my closest effort was: Additional info:I'm not sure if this will make a difference/make things more difficult but the column I need to multiple from (total # of grades licensed) also has a formula. Not sure how Airtable is with multi-formula mingling so just wanted to throw that out there! (side note: If ther
