Help extracting text between unique character
Hoping someone can help me out. I feel like I'm almost there, but not quite! I basically want to strip everything out of my comments to get the first comment without a datetime stamp and stopping when it gets to the second comment [ date time stamp. My formula: Trim(NotLeft(NotRight([Comments],"["),"]")) What my Comments field looks like: [FEB-14-25 12:31 PM Stephanie] in aliqua irure Lorem ex ea adipisicing laboris eu non minim voluptate enim pariatur veniam cillum sint nisi dolor mollit cupidatat do sunt incididunt velit sit mollit aliquip ipsum quis exercitation et id in laboris deserunt ullamco [FEB-04-25 3:38 PM Quickbase Administrator 2] 12341 [DEC-02-24 4:47 AM Quickbase Administrator] New Record What the formula returned: in aliqua irure Lorem ex ea adipisicing laboris eu non minim voluptate enim pariatur veniam cillum sint nisi dolor mollit cupidatat do sunt incididunt velit sit mollit aliquip ipsum quis exercitation et id in laboris deserunt ullamco [FEB-04-25 3:38 PM Quickbase Administrator 2] 12341 What I want returned: in aliqua irure Lorem ex ea adipisicing laboris eu non minim voluptate enim pariatur veniam cillum sint nisi dolor mollit cupidatat do sunt incididunt velit sit mollit aliquip ipsum quis exercitation et id in laboris deserunt ullamco9Views0likes2CommentsHow to color code a table based on a forumla field?
I have a report I created where Days Remaining is a formula: -(ToDays(Today() - ToDate([Due Date]))) I want to color code the table such that Days Remaining = 5 -> Red Days Remaining = 5-10 -> Yellow Days Remaining = 10+ -> Green Days Remaining = Negative Number -> Purple But I can't figure out how to use the results of the field formula in a formula in the color code area.

Hello, I have an application tracking quality defects, one of the fields for capturing information is the catalog unit. that catalog unit is typically 7 digits, for special units where we specialize a standard catalog unit for customer speicifications we typically add 5 digits on the end. I was able to make a formula for seeing if something was special by having [Catalog Number]>999999999 unfortunately, they are starting to use alpha characters on these unit numbers now. is there a formula that can do what I have done prior but also allows for characters to be entered? thanks,3Views0likes1CommentColor coding report based on Date Modified
Hi all! I'm trying my hand at color-coding a report based on any records updated in the past 7 days. I found a few similar threads/tried to emulate the formulas, but it's giving me guff because Date Modified is a Date/Time field. My not-working formula is: If( [Date Modified]<=Today()-Days(7),"green" My error says "The operator '<' can't be applied on types datetime, date #SendHelp!

Hello, I want to have multiple data rules to stop an import if the information is not correct but I'm not sure how to word them. I want to be able to check fields and change the values if needed and to make sure an option is not created in my dropdown field. There are 2 fields for a name that I would like to check for capitalization and if it is not proper to change the field. I would also like for it to check to see if there is a comma and space where it should be. I need to check for any spaces in front or behind the information and delete them. I want to be able to stop the import if it has something different than the choices in my dropdown field. Thank you12Views0likes1CommentUsing AND with Null values
I have a formula with multiple Null and Not Null values, one of the nested statements needs to look at two fields so I used AND, but this generates an error "AND" cannot be applied. If( IsNull([Pallet Grp "C"]),0, ((Nz([Low, Carton "C"] and (IsNull([high, carton "C"])),1) [high, carton "C"]-[low, carton "C"]+1) Can someone recommend a solution--if possible.Solved26Views0likes4CommentsAdding an email hyperlink to body of formula-url

Hey all, As the title says, I'm trying to replicate the format of what is returned from a pipeline search in text fields inside Base. Here's the scenario: I'm making invoices in QBO via a pipeline, but all of the information for the line items is on the same record as the header spread out over different fields. QBO requires I pass lines as a list, which is normally done via searching through the line items, but that's not possible in this case. I have anywhere from 5-10 fields on the invoice in Base that need to each become a different line item in QBO, so how do I make fields to mimic that list output to pass over?46Views0likes3CommentsIf / or statement
I want to "lock" the data in a section of a form, but have the ability for one role to override the lock. If the Manufacturing Start date/time field is empty, I would allow editing: OR if the QA Manufacturing Start Comments field is not empty, I would allow editing in the section I have in the expression builder: IsNull([Manufacturing Start]) OR Not ISNull([QA Manufacturing Start Comments]) Then: Make editable: Section But I am getting an error on the "OR". It says that there are extra characters beyond the end of the formula. What do I need to do to fix the formula? Thanks! Becky15Views0likes1Comment
