API filterByFormula using an "IN" function

[Daniel_Turner]

Is there a way to filterByFormula with an “IN” type of function. I.e. only return rows where the state field value is in the list [“OR”, “CA”, “FL”] ?

Welcome to the Airtable community forums!

The filterByFormula in the API works the same way as filtering in the user interface. You cannot use a simple IN function in your formula, because Airtable does not have such a formula function.

However, you can build a formula that has the effect that you want.

OR(
  FIND("OR", {field name}),
  FIND("CA", {field name}),
  FIND("FL", {field name})
)
