Hi all,I'm trying to get the Calendar View to look a  little neater, only showing the headers of events without all this unhelpful and bloated extra data showing up. For instance, in Google Calendar the date will only show "David Out of Office", but in the synced airtable calendar view I'm getting this time range, and long link. How do I get rid of that extra stuff? Thanks!

I am using the service for my bachelor thesis, where I need to create a functioning, user-friendly database with music metadata. However before that the studies need a substantiation of why I have chosen this platform and people’s experience with it. So I wanted to ask you some questions about your time with Airtable. You can find it here: https://forms.gle/6TudYxkzwUEKNSbZ8 P.S I admire this community as I have already found a lot of useful information from people with various backgrounds and knowledge

Hey Airtable Community! 👋I've pooled my learnings about Airtable scripting and created something for us 'no'-coders: Airtable Script Helper. It's my first project since OpenAI launched custom ChatGPTs last week, and I'm excited to share it with you![REQUIRES CHATGPT SUBSCRIPTION]🔧 What It Does:DIY Scripts: Helps you create Airtable scripts or edit existing ones, whatever you need.It has been fed with some key considerations/best practices to be mindful for when creating scripts, so it should be better at helping you create scripts than vanilla ChatGPTEven if you have never written a line of code before, you may try it out. I too started using scripts only After ChatGPT was launched. 🙊🚀 Try It Out! Give Airtable Script Helper a spin and start building your custom scripts today. Let me know if you encounter issues and you think it is fixable. Any feedback is welcome.For anything more advanced, I'm just a click away: Vikas

Hello, I am trying to build a base for our vehicles and equipment fleet. This base will hold the maintenance log and the maintenance service schedule for each vehicle. I am stuck with how to move forward in the set up process. I initially started with three tables, Vehicles/Equipment, Maintenance Log, and Maintenance Schedule. I want to be able to plug in formulas that will calculate the next service dates for various types of services (oil changes, fluid checks, tire rotation, etc.) but because we are working with all different types of equipment (heavy duty, UTVs, cars, tractors) I am having a hard time finding a way to systematically implement the same formulas for each piece of equipment. I want this to be easy to maintain for the user and not too complicated, but I am having a hard time figuring out how to link dates versus mileage. I hope this makes sense, but I would love some advice for how to even set up each table and what my primary fields should be for each, I've included s

Every so often someone asks how to format numbers in a string the same way that they appear in a number or currency field. Various formulas have been created in the past (including some that I’ve posted in threads on this topic), but a recent thread prompted me to take another stab at the concept, and I came up with the most condensed formula that I know of for formatting whole numbers. The formula below will currently handle numbers—positive or negative—up to 21 digits long (<= 999 quintillion), though with a single change it could support higher values if needed. IF(Number < 0, "-") & REGEX_REPLACE( ABS(Number) & "", REPT("(\\d{3})", (ROUND((LEN(ABS(Number) & "") + 1) / 3)) - 1) & "$", LEFT(",$1,$2,$3,$4,$5,$6", 3 * ((ROUND((LEN(ABS(Number) & "") + 1) / 3)) - 1)) ) If you want this displayed as currency, change the first line of the above formula to this: IF(Number < 0, "-") & "$" & To change the separators to periods for some other

Hi, Below is my airtable base.I have grouped the records on basis of my product. I want to find the average of qty in each group. The average should be such that total of all qty in a group divided by no.of.rows in that group. How can i do this on Airtable? For eg - THe average of first group is 68/8 = 8.5 

I have 2 questions to ask:1st being this:I have 2 tables:1. Revelator Sheet Data2. Client InformationThe "Revelator Sheet Data" table holds the music assets of the clients belonging to our business. To map the assets to the clients (in the client information table) I will use the "payee_id" which is present in both "Revelator Sheet Data" and "Client Information" tables.But I can only link 2 tables with primary fields. The "Client Information" has "Client ID" while the "Revelator Sheet Data" has "Id" as the primary fields. So, when I linked the "Client Information" table to"Revelator Sheet Data" table using client_id, how do simultaneously match the payee_id?For example: Above is the Revelator Sheet Data table. I have linked the client information table using client_id. Now I want that if "Payee id" (in Revelator Sheet Data) and "Payee ID" (lookup field from client information) are similar, the client_id is mapped automatically ie I basically want to map client id based on pay

I am aware that you can pick and choose which fields you want visible in a synced base. However, if you already synced a base, but want to limit the fields that are visible is there a way to do that without having to reupload the base?

TL;DR: add a "hello world" script if you want a "condition not met" to end your automation instead of cause it to fail.I created a base for another team in which I'm collaborating with them, and for each record that is created in their base, if it is assigned to me, I want to create it in my personal base via automations.The Find Records approach of identifying the collaborative record that was created and re-creating it in my base was straightforward, but capturing updated collaborative records assigned to me and re-updating it in my base was a bit trickier, as "Find Record to Update" may return zero records, if the collaborative record is assigned to someone else, causing the automation to fail.To get around this failure, I added a Run Script step for the condition in which the length of Find Records = 0, and the script is simply:console.log("Hello, world!"); This way, the automation will always successfully run, even if the collaborative record is assigned to someone else.&nbsp

I am the Technology Manager for Companion Health. We are a medical practice currently utilizing Airtable. We recently had one of our employees accidentally remove one of our client records which resulted in me having to review a snapshot and pull the data back in.I would like some advice on what I could do to ensure this is prevented as much as possible.Also is there better backup methods for client data other than the snapshots taken in Airtable?

We needed a "quick" way to see that a calendar entry was canceled (in the label, which is a text field named "Short Name") without typing it. (We use a check box to "cancel" the event) Forgive me, I'm new. This may not be the most elegant way of doing this, and I may have missed something I built an automation that when the check box is modified, AND the value of the checkbox is checked (a FIND table with that conditional and the Airtable ID as the record output) THEN run a script to update the text field (because putting the text and the field was not working in the non-script format) I added input parameters of recordID (the airtable ID from the find field) and xText which is the existing text in the field "Short Name" the script looks like this:  let table = base.getTable("Productions_calendar");let config = input.config();let recordID = config.recordID;let xText = config.xText;var c = "Canceled: ";c += xText;let query = await table.selec

Hi we're long user of Airtable, but the iOS application has long loading time, also the official Airtable Web Clipper doesn't work in mobile devices. To miss that gap, we made several iOS shortcuts.To give you a better idea of how these iOS Shortcuts can ease your mobile data management, we've created a short demonstration video. Watch the video below to see how easy it is to capture web content, save images, and input text using Airtable iOS Shortcuts.Capture web content with ease – While browsing the web in Safari, simply activate the Airtable shortcut to save the page's URL, title, and selected text to your designated table and fields. Just like using Airtable Web Clipper on iOS!The shorcut in the demo works 100% well, and there is no any privacy issues. If you're eager to start using these shortcuts along with other 10+ Shortcuts in the Library, please view our site to get them, thanks!

I wrote a tampermonkey script to customize the width of the Sidesheet in the Interface for myself, inspired by this feature request, figured I'd share it in case someone found it usefulAnd here are some examples of what the UI looks like at different widths:Width Screenshot 680px (default) 800px 1000px You can customize your width by just modifying the value of 'sidesheetWidth'.  Main caveat is that we lose the nice animation of the sidesheet sliding in and out thoughTo use the script you'll need to install Tampermonkey as a browser extension (https://www.tampermonkey.net/) and then just paste the script below inBug reports welcome!  I threw this thing together as a fun side project; tested it a bit and seems to work fine, but there are very probably things I've missed! // ==UserScript==// @name Airtable Sidesheet Width Customizer// @description Set custom sidesheet width// @author Adam - The Time Saving Company// @match https://airtable.com/*// @gr
