A number of other services that I've worked with (Tadabase, Knack, SmartSuite to name just three) have a field type called 'Address'. This streamlines the entry of addresses (by autocompleting) and at the same time validates the address. Is it possib...

Couple quick notes on first viewing of your video. Thanks for making that. It was helpful. I am just going to throw out a couple of ideas, which might or might not be helpful. Often I try to test what I'm saying here before I say it but don't have ti...

Diego,I'm not sure what the problem is here. But I have couple of questions.You said you've got a "master database" and a "report table". I take it that the master "database" is also just another table inside the same Airtable app, yes? So we're talk...
