I’m having trouble even getting started. I know how I would do this in a real programming language, but I’m not sure how to use an airtable formula.
I have a lookup field that is getting rankings (1-5) from another table. I’d like to average those rankings. The dumbed down version is just to average entries in a multi select.
I would expect to be able to use COUNT() and SUM() for that but I’m not getting anywhere.
In this screenshot, “Calculated Rank” is just giving the result of VALUE({Rank (from Reviews)}) but it is just stringing them together so two values of 5 show up as 55. “Review Count” is accurately counting records where someone has put in a review. The “Rank Rollup” is just looking for a sum right now but it doesn’t appear to be recognizing the values as numbers, even though VALUE seems to.
Is the {Rank (from Reviews)} field a Lookup? If so, does {Rank} field in the Review table a Single Select?
If so, that’s where your VALUE() formula should be. The Review table should have a Formula field that gets VALUE({Rank}) since there will just be the one selection per interview.
Then whatever table you’ve screenshotted would have a Rollup field that gets the sum or average of the Review table’s formula field.
