There are some important universal concepts to think about regardless of your base's design: In short, you can see that the structure of the formula follows a pattern of adding a prefill_ element followed by a &hide_ element. The concepts for building out this formula are discussed elsewhere throughout this article. Here is the formula from the example base: SUBSTITUTE(
#AIRTABLE STATUS HOW TO#
This article is part of a guided course that helps you learn how to use Airtable formulas.The formula you create will need to be uniquely set up based on the form and table that you have created. Here’s an example of combining AND() and OR() together. Here is the example result for that formula: You want to show "Available for purchase" if the item is in stock, or "Currently unavailable" if it is out of stock or on delayed backorder. Here’s the result: Using OR() with conditional statementsīuilding on the previous section, you may now want to display a message depending on if the result is a 1 or 0. Let's start with the function by itself: OR( For example, OR (5+5=10, 5+5=12) will evaluate as 1 because one of the statements is true.Īs an example, you want to display a message depending on the quantity of available items you have in stock. Remember that when used by itself, OR() produces either a 1or a depending if *any* of the criteria listed in the statement are true. The OR() function can also be used alone, or in combination with other functions. It's only meant to show a portion of the variousĪND() functions and their usage. The formula above is not complete, as it doesn't account for all potential scenarios when some of the field values are empty.
Otherwise, for complete projects show "Complete".And for projects in progress, show "Due Soon".
Let's build in some more complex conditions using AND() Let's change the criteria to look for the following: Using AND(), here is the formula you would write: IF( Should show the message, "Nathan - Active".
Using the same table structure, you have the following criteria: Taking the function a step further, let's see what it looks like to nest it within another statement. Notice that only the first record has a value of 1 because all three fields referenced in the formula have something entered in the field. If all three fields have any value in them, the formula will return a 1, otherwise a 0. Regardless of what function you're using, you can reference a field name to see if it has anything entered in it. OR(logical 1, logical 2, logical 3, etc.)ĪND ()can be used on it's own as a standalone function, and it can also be used in conjunction with conditional statements.Īs an example of using the function on it's own, let's write a formula to check if the following fields have a value in them: If any of the values are true, the function will return a 1 (true), and if not all are true, it will return a 0 (false).
Using OR(), you can list out any number of criteria to evaluate. Returns true if any one of the arguments is true, returns false otherwise. If they are all true, the function will return a 1 (true), and if not all are true, it will return a 0 (false).ĪND(logical 1, logical 2, logical 3, etc.) Using AND(), you can list out any number of criteria to evaluate. Returns true if all the arguments are true, returns false otherwise. This article is part of a guided course which you can view here. In this article, we'll primarily be working with two very similar formulas:ĪND() and OR().
