The group nesting and sum features in Airtable are slick and potentially very useful, but not being able to display a weighted average in the groups’ summary bars is really painful. The solution to this problem appears, at least to me, to be very simple: Just implement an option in the summary bar pulldown of formula columns to apply their formula across the summary bar. The existence of this feature will probably make or break whether our company will use Airtable. ... View more

Since Slack doesn’t allow embeddable HTML in messages, it would be great if sharable blocks could have the widget capability so the block is visible within slack messages. E.g. You slack the link to the shared block and Slack expands the link so you can see the block. Right now, Slack does not expand the link to show the preview. Other platforms enable this through a ‘widget’ enhancement. ... View more

While the ‘limit record selection to a view’ feature exists, it doesn’t solve my problems. It would, however, if field order and visibility were retained. Problem Linked Records currently display all of a record’s fields. And the order of those fields is determined by the top-most view in the view list for the linked record’s table. None of this amounts to a very customizable solution for bases that make use of multiple linked record columns for a particular table. For example, here is a view: In another table, I have a linked record column with ‘limit record selection to a view’ set to the above view. And yet, all of those hidden fields are visible: Workaround Instead of creating linked record columns, you can generate links to records - which can be associated with a given view. For example: Table A record_id (formula) Table B table_a_record_id (lookup) table_a_record_link (formula)* * table_a_record_link formula: “https://airtable.com/” & {view ID} & “/“ & {table_a_record_id} The ‘view ID’ can be copied from a given table view’s web address. Problems with the Workaround It requires some tech knowledge to implement The link opens up in a new window Links are ugly ... View more

When creating a form you are given the options to have a “Submit another response” button, show a new blank form after 5 seconds, or receive an email that the form has been completed. It would be extremely helpful to have an option for a completed copy of the form to be emailed to the person who has filled out the form. Like the option that googleforms and survey monkey provide, the person filing out the form can submit the form and then have a copy of their answers emailed to them for their records. This would be helpful in our organizations as people are filing out applications and answering essay questions. It is helpful for them to have evidence/copies of what they submitted. ... View more

@Katherine_Duh Somehow I missed the What’s New announcement of WORKDAY() — or, more likely, I saw it, but it didn’t sink in as I wasn’t working on anything related at the time. Just last night, though, I posted an example database in response to a Support question, and in the base description I noted three things that should be fixed before putting my admittedly ‘toy’ base into production. One had to do with bullet-proofing the formula I wrote to find the previous workday to a given date; I mentioned some provision likely should be made for identifying holidays or other non-workdays that fell within the business week. After seeing your Announcements post on the new ratings field, I went to see if there was anything else listed in ‘What’s New’; that’s when I noticed the entry on WORKDAY() . Reading through it, I noted with excitement the information on the optional holidays parameter. “If only WORKDAY() would take a negative value for numDays ,” I thought, “it would be perfect for this base.” I came here to post a feature request asking for just that — and then remembered, virtually everywhere I’ve tried, Airtable functions have accepted negative values. I was delighted to find that WORKDAY({Date},-1) does indeed return the most recent weekday prior to {Date} . I’ve since modified the base to make use of WORKDAY() , and I wanted to thank everyone who made that possible. :slightly_smiling_face: ... View more
