Show and Tell

Hey there Community, happy December! If you're anything like me, you love a good resource. Anything from my favorite recipe, "how-tos" for my home or tips for my yoga and meditation practice, I love to bookmark and squirrel things away in folders for when I'll need them in the future.  This is especially true for work. I'm constantly saving bookmarks in my browser, categorized into folders according to the platform, app, strategy, etc. And I refer back to them time and time again. This got me thinking... you all probably have Airtable Community threads that you refer back to, and I'd like to open up this space for you all to share! Whether its a solution that you personally sought out by posting a question of your own, or you stumbled upon a discussion from a year ago that helped solve your use case, comment directly to this thread to share it with others! This can also be an Airtable Guide, Article, or Announcement Blog. Feel free to tag others who were involved in the resource s

On the 5th, I’ll be leading a workshop for leaders of international schools. The focus is on developing in-house applications, particularly using platforms like Airtable and Softr, to enhance school operations. I’m reaching out to gather insights on best practices from outside the education sector.Could you share any resources or case studies of companies that have successfully utilized Airtable and Softr to streamline their operations? Examples where these tools have enabled organizations to concentrate more effectively on crucial aspects of their mission, rather than being bogged down by operational inefficiencies, would be extremely valuable. Insights into how these platforms have been adapted to meet specific operational needs, rather than relying on generic, ill-fitting solutions, would be particularly beneficial for my presentation.Your contributions would be greatly appreciated and incredibly helpful in enriching the workshop. Thank you!

We have a grid view generated, which shows us the percentage per column (it is a room occupancy rate).We would like to get a total occupancy rate per time period calculated. But we have no idea, how to approach it.Does anyone has an idea how to do it?   

Hello, i'my trying to compare efficiency of real-time project durations to theoric template durations. Projects are linked to tasks and tasks templates ;-> total duration of a project = sum of the duration of each task-> duration objective (efficiency) of a project = sum of the task duration objectivesIn each project, Im trying to lookup the tasks theoric duration and sum it up to compare it to the actual project duration. I'm doing this this way : - I link projects to tasks- Each task is linked to a ''task template''- I look up the ''theoric duration'' of each task and Sum it up in rollupThe problem is that the sumup calculation is incorrect : see screenshot ->- the first row, lookup values for theoric durations per project are as follow : 10, 10, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8,

Hello 🙂I am creating a scenario in Make(Integromat) to resize images, and compress if they exceed 5MB in size.Bellow is the screenshot of the scenario I have created, but it is not working as expected.   I use HTTP to check the resized image size in MB  From here on, I am no longer sure what I did wrong, but Get multiple variables does not give me the resizes and compressed image. If the scenario received two images, one being resized and other compressed, I get two same compressed images.  I would really appreciate help.Thank you, Pjero 🙂

Nuttshell began as an internal tool for my team to request AI summaries in a snap. We quickly realized that everyone would love it as much as us, so we scaled it with Airtable. It manages the data, automates each step, and integrates the handful of other services involved.We'd love for members of the Airtable community to be among the first to try it. 

Hello,As a beginner on Airtable, I would like to create a database with 2 tables (at least I think so) in n:n raltion.I have an EMPLOYEES table with several items, made unique by a personnel number.I'd like to create a "training courses attended" table, knowing that :Unique criteria must be validatedEach criterion is uniquely linked to a skillEach skill is uniquely linked to a themeThe aim is to obtain a view on which I can sort the results by employee (validated criteria)or by theme or skill (list of employees who have validated an entire theme or a list of skills).The EMPLOYEE table is easy to create, but I'm stuck on the SKILLS table because of the dependencies between themes, skills and criteria.But also on the method of links to be created with the EMPLOYES table.Or am I making a mistake and needing 3 tables: THEMATICS, SKILLS and CRITERIA?Thanks for your help !Thierry

I’ve setup a number of bases where external people can use forms to submit things like updated contact information by submitting a form as many times as they like, selecting their sponsor company record name as a link field in the form each time. This creates a series of attached entries to their sponsor record. I then setup the sponsor records as a series of Rollup fields on things like “email” etc that rolls up all submitted form entries. However I only want to show people the most up-to-date entries submitted, so I made the following formula that only returns the last linked entry . This is building off this post below: Split First and Last Names That's a little more difficult… At heart, the formula would be something like this: REPLACE({Name},1,FIND("~",SUBSTITUTE({Name}," ","~",LEN({Name}) - LEN(SUBSTITUTE({Name}," ","")))),"") That's a little hard to suss out at first glance, so let me break it down, back to front: LEN({Name}) - LEN(SUBSTITUTE({Name}," ","")) gets the d

URLs generated with CSV Getter work great with exporting data straight from an Interface UI. Now, if you add ?show_wait_page=true to the end of your URL and select “Open in new tab”, your download will work like shown in the GIF.This is great for User experience if your download takes slightly longer.Find out about handy URL parameters here. 

The way airtable works with base titles is by default it will take the first few letters of your title and use this as the base icon if you haven't selected one of their native icons. In this case it will use the emoji instead if it is the first item in the title.How to do this?1. Go to the "Base Title"2. Go to the beginning of the title3. On Windows: Press Window Key + Full Stop (Win+.) to open the emoji menu.On Mac: crtl+cmd+space4. Type the first few letter of the emoji you want to find.5. Click the emoji to add it to the front of the base title.

Hi all, I've pretty much got Airtable now doing exactly what I need it to. However, the one sticking point that I have is the custom view that I have created just misaligns then attempting to print it. Which is a critical thing in our business. I tried reaching out to support but wasn't able to get any help.I have tried the few responses to questions that I found on here but it didn't seem to fix it for me. I wonder if upgrading from the free plan to the base paid plan will solve the problem? We will need to upgrade anyway but I wanted to make sure the solution worked properly before upgrading.Any help greatly appreciated.

Hello there,Recently a client approach me to build a solution that would help to reply to customer emails. The idea was to utilize the internal knowledge they had from past customer questions as well as general product knowledge specific to his business.His idea was to use https://www.pinecone.io/  as the vector database storing the embeddings for internal knowledge base. I have recently built a proof of project like that, but using a full on code approach. I have used Supabase Postgress with pg-vector extension and some custom parsing tools to text/markdown sources.Overall approach above while feasible and fun, involved a lot of code meaning the budget for implementation was also way above what my customer was able to pay. 3 weeks OpenAI releases Assistants API with data retrieval and all of sudden all complexity of dealing with embeddings is just gone.- Use Airtable to setup FAQ and all relevant internal data store- Use Make.com to load data from Airtable as a markdown

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.

Hello! This tool will allow you to ask a question about any base and will generate results (using AI) and display them on a nice little graph.To use it simply sign up, and connect airtable with a personalAccessToken. I'm the founder so if you have any questions or comments, let me know here or at adam@getmagicdashai.com 🙂Here's a demo:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7JOVME3BQd8&ab_channel=AdamGuskyProduct: https://getmagicdashai.com 

hi thereI am relatively new to Airtable. So far I used one base, basically like a spreadsheet. So I started a class. However my starting screen looks nothing like this. I cannot add a base, only create one. Then Airtable jumps straight into the base. It never shows the different steps as suggested by the Start from Scratch wizard. Could someone please adviseRafael  

Hi,I am looking for a way to customize to local language names of months and weekdays in Timeline view, located on the top of the graph. This is also applicable for names of buttons used to pick the time slot of visible part of the timeline. As database designer I am using English as preferable language in the setting of my account but users of Interfaces should see calendar's names in local language. 

Hi! How can I delete all my empty rows at once?I mean I have 8,200 rows but half of them are empty (due to my import format). I don't want to click manually to each of the 4,100 empty rows and click to delete.Do you have a trick to do it faster? With automatisation ? Don't want to use a filter, I really want to remove it. Thanks in advance. 

Hi here’s a workflow I’ve been using for quickly exporting out an airtable base’s table into google spreadsheet. There’s a number of reasons why you would want to do this: You have a file that needs to be analyzed by someone for a one time use. This could be your accountant, purchasing dept, etc. You need a better printout of your airtable data. Airtables printouts right now are okay, I have issues getting a nice printout sometimes. Google spreadsheets has lots of flexibility here You want someone to do data entry for your base but would rather have them enter the data, send it back, so you can double check it before throwing it into your airtable base You want your cells to do anything for a few niche cases - Airtable is great in that it doesn’t allow you to do certain things… but sometimes you might want to have a specialized formula pasted randomly throughout your google spreadsheet. You’d rather not use excel for a number of reasons, possibly because it doesn’t fit your use-c

Hi all, We discovered Airtable as awesome organizational database tool and started to use it extensively. We loved it for the way it’s organized and well-thought. But what we really missed there is “Google Sheets magic”: Being able to do advanced calculations Data blending Filtering Allowing someone to use data from Airtable without even knowing Airtable exists With that in mind, we developed an Google Spreadsheets add-on as a missing link between Airtable and Google Spreadsheets. We made it to solve particular issues within our company and for internal use only. But we thought that this add-on can help other people to make their lives better by combining powers of two great database tools: Airtable and Google Spreadsheets we shared it with other people. So anyone is welcome to give it a try.

Switched from Twilio to a new platform(Whippy) and it has never been better! We had issues sending mass messages to people but not able to see their Reponses! Received a call from a new texting platform that help us integrate their software with Airtable and we have never looked back. Their extension is in the marketplace and they are a great team to work with.  https://airtable.com/marketplace/blkvsUTFN9QtWcOvm/whippy-ai
