I hope everyone's doing well! I wanted to share a solution to an issue I faced last night—something I think could help many of you, especially if you've been stuck like me, looking for ways to visualize your data using radar/spider plots.📌The ChallengeIn my line of work (and I’m sure it’s the same for many of you), I frequently need to compile multi-dimensional profiles—think student grades across multiple subjects, or sales metrics across different KPIs. Pie charts and bar graphs are good but don't quite capture the essence when you have to look at 5 or more variables simultaneously. I've always felt that Radar Charts could be the perfect solution for these multi-faceted profiles.📌The SolutionAfter a bit of tinkering and some late-night coding, I came up with an Airtable base that generates radar cha

Trying to create a filter in interface where all my firelds within the filter are checkboxe field ..  Why: I'm looking for a hack to work around poor formatting that turns off my audience new to AT.Problem: Each checkbox must perfectly align for that data point to show up.. the default blank.. Does not give option to not filter if Empty. make sense to anyone?  

I have a base that has a number of tables representing incoming work from different sources (e.g. a jira tickets table, a slack messages table, a spreadsheet process table, a email table).  And I want to combine them into a single 'team workload' table that I can create views in summarising who's working on what type of work item.Airtable's multi-sync feature (https://support.airtable.com/docs/multi-source-syncing) is a great way to do this with 1 drawback - it means I need to create an entirely new base instead of just add a new table to my existing base.Is there any way around this?  I'm not sure why I can't sync/multi-sync within an existing base?  Thanks for any thoughts! 

Hi!     We have a huge project with several tasks where I need to add to a timeline the completeness average percentage and, I think, this can be done in single task with this summary of the average percent of the grouped tasks.     In other words:  I want to filter some tasks (yes/no) to make them appear in the timeline (they have dates) together with the related percentage of completeness.     I know that I already have the average percentage of completeness in the grid view, when groupping by any field (please check the print screen, where I group the tasks by the field "module").     Now I want to show this percentage in the timeline. But how?     I hope AirTable have it by default.... 🙏 !!!Print:1=Avg. % when groupped by module2=Task (line) where I think the avg % can be included.3=Timeline where, I think, if I filter by t

Extremely frustrated with the lack of communication from Airtable.  I've spent 6 weeks trying to get several questions answered.  We had the same experience when trying to onboard with Airtable.  Unfortunately we stuck it out and continued with Airtable instead of going in another direction. 

Hi everyoneHere's a simple base with an interface that can be used for employees/visitors to clock in and out of a location:https://amazingairtable.gumroad.com/l/lvcyc The interface could be on display on tablet from which people select their name and click when they arrive/leave.  Also allows people to clock in and out for the breaks if leaving the site on the same day.  All you need to do is pre-populate the list of people who will be on site each day. 

Hi all!I wrote up a post on my personal blog about how to sync a SharePoint list / Microsoft List with Airtable using Power Automate. If that sounds handy, check it out!How to sync SharePoint lists to Airtable via Power Automate 

In need of some help understanding exactly what I am being charged for. If anyone can help shed some light, it'd be greatly appreciated. I have attached a couple of screenshots. The $720 for 3 bases for the year, I understand, I think. But its strange because I have 4 bases. The "remaining time on team annual" for $167 is confusing though. Is this for the entire workspace? And only for half the year? Thanks in advance for any insights. 

Hello, (If I'm posting this in the wrong place please feel free to let me know.)I've created an Airtable Discord Channel that I would like to share with the Airtable Community.

"If you're on our previously most expensive Pro Plan, we're taking away business-critical features and you have less than one month to rework your entire base structure to fit new limits, pay us twice as much, or f*ck off" – Airtable, basicallyHave fun talking to your clients this week!Edit: Since this post is being kudo'd and people coming to the forum about this might see it first,  I wanted to put @ScottWorld's summary of the 4 big downgrades to the $20 plan at the top:Automation runs have been cut in half to 25,000 automation runs.API calls have been reduced from unlimited to 100,000.Attachment space has been cut in half from 20 GB to 10 GB.Multi-source syncing has been eliminated.As previously stated, we all have less than a month to rework our databases to fit into the new limits, or pay Airtable twice as much. &nb

I am the author of the Prefilled Forms extension. Over the past three years, many people have successfully used it to generate formulas for prefilling their Airtable forms with existing record data. Airtable does not give third party developers usage statistics, but I was told at one point that it was the most popular third party extension and that thousands of people use it every month.However, Airtable recently released changes in the share url for forms which breaks my extension. Airtable now includes the base ID in the url instead of just the share ID. I found out about this change from users contacting me saying that my extension no longer works. Due to the volume, I am posting here instead of quietly replying to these support requests individually.The workaround for this change is very simple. When copy/pasting the url of the shared form, manually remove the

Hello!We've created a way to export Airtable data with a SQL query, under one API call. It is built into our app CSV Getter for Airtable.I've written a brief guide to show how it works. Feedback encouraged! Happy to add new features if it is useful to any fellow Airtable users.Best,Gavin

Any suggestions on this?  I am trying to get the number of kids in a particular grade into the Current # field.  

We just added a tutorial on how to create AI-generated blog post videos inside Airtable. It uses the Data Fetcher extension, so it sits right inside Airtable!

Hi All! Google Tables Offers Dynamic filtering of linked records. Some People Refer to this functionality as cascading drop downs, conditional selects, dynamic linked record filtering.

Hey everyone, I just started learning Airtable scripts and I wanted to share my first project. This script uses the free Radar.com API to lookup a valid address from a partial address string, and saves the first matching result back to the table with individual fields for each component of the address.  Just add the Script extension and paste in this script, then fill out the settings pane with your API and field names.  FeaturesSkips rows that already have a complete addressCaches results while looping over the table, then performs a bulk update to increase performanceSplits bulk update into batches of

I tend to have a number of Airtable views open, each with a different focus. However, the default Airtable only says (Table Name) - Airtable. I’ve written a Greasemonkey/Tampermonkey script that will change the title to (Current View Name) / (Table Name) - Airtable Note: you will need either the Greasemonkey/Tampermonkey plugin/extension to use this script. Also, since this is an unofficial script, it may (likely) break with a future update to Airtable. // @name Airtable View Name as Title // @namespace https://airtable.com/ // @version 0.1 // @description Sets the title of Airtable pages to the View name // @author AndyLin // @match *://*.airtable.com/tbl* // Airtable already loads jQuery // @require https://gist.github.com/raw/2625891/waitForKeyElements.js // @grant none // ==/UserScript== //var $ = window.jQuery; //Airtable already loads jQuery waitForKeyEle

Hi everyone, just wanted to leave my newest video here about the one script that I'm using in all of my Airtable bases: A script to clean up records!Let me know what you think and if it brought value to you 🙂 I'm posting multiple times per week, so subscribe if relevant for you.  

We’ve built an Airtable Tableau (Web Data) Connector. I’ve seen multiple posts in the Airtable / Tableau forums about connecting the two tools, so I thought this might be useful.The main difference between our Connector and others (including Airtable’s own) is that ours supports the full range of many-to-many relationship types, including Multiple Linked Record fields and Multiple Users fields. You can build Tableau reports off of your Airtable data even when your Base contains these many-to-many relationships.Other points of interest:ETL built specifically for Airtable - Our Connector was built from the ground up for Airtable, so its Extract, Transform, Load process prepares Airtable data for immediate consumption in Tableau.Data filtering at the source - It’s super easy to specify which tables and views you export, so you don’t have to waste time filtering
