Hi everyone,


I try searching the numerous existing posts but I couldn’t find my answer.



Here it is, I need to migrate a database from Notion to Airtable and I’m not sure if the formulas in airtable enables me to do the same as the existing Notion one 🙂



Having a formulas counting different multiple select occurences and adding text within the results too (cf screenshot)




So the idea, as a result, is to get 1 line per language with the total of the different languages occurences:


Français : 4


Espagnol : 5


Anglais : 2


Etc.



I tried something like



IF(LEN(SUBSTITUTE(Maternelle, "Français", ""))>1,"Français:"+(LEN(Maternelle) - LEN(SUBSTITUTE(Maternelle, "Français", ""))) / 8,"")



But I get NaN as a result → does it mean formulas can’t have calculation + text as a result ?



and doing it for several languages



IF(LEN(SUBSTITUTE(Maternelle, "Français", ""))>1,(LEN(Maternelle) - LEN(SUBSTITUTE(Maternelle, "Français", ""))) / 8,"")+IF(LEN(SUBSTITUTE(Maternelle, "Espagnol", ""))>1,(LEN(Maternelle) - LEN(SUBSTITUTE(Maternelle, "Espagnol", ""))) / 8,"")



BUT I get one total number as a result so not what I want either



Thanks for your help ! I guess Airtable can allow me to do what Notion does but still new to it so not sure…

Anyone on this one ?
