Can I use concatenate in Quickbase?
Trying to combine two text fields in Quickbase into one text field. Field 1 is a title from another table and Field 2 is the version of that title. So Field 1 might be "Diabetes" and Field 2 might be "v2". I just want to combine them to be "Diabetes_v2" in the new field. Is that possible? Seems like if should be simple enough with CONCATENATE([FIELD1),"_",[FIELD2]) but that doesn't seem to work. Getting this error: Formula error -- Unknown function The function name Concatenate(text, text, text) is unknown. Really? You can't use CONCATENATE in Quickbase? Any advice?

I need some help with a formula. I am trying display text if a field is not null. This is my current formula: If(not IsNull([AP Supplier Type]), "Oracle Hold", If(not IsNull([CURRENTWORKNODE]), "Rapid Hold", If(not IsNull([Amt]), "Payment Hold"))) Currently, everything is being listed as an "Oracle Hold". I am not sure what I am doing wrong. Your help is much appreciated!!100Views2likes14CommentsUsing HTML in Formula - Rich Text Fields

Hi, I am trying to create a formula that indicates the following: IF [field 1- text multiple choice] contains "GM" AND [field 2 - text] contains "GM", display text "GM Opp/GM Agency" IF [field 1- text multiple choice] contains "AA" AND [field 2 - text] contains "GM", display text "AA Opp/GM Agency" IF [field 1- text multiple choice] contains "AA" AND [field 2 - text] contains "AA", display text "AA Opp/AA Agency" I think that the AND portion if the formula is messing me up, but can't figure out how to fix. Below is the current formula I'm working with: If( (Contains([GM/AA Market - Opp],"GM" AND Contains([Agency/Client Market - Consolidated], "GM"), "GM Opp/Agency", (Contains([GM/AA Market - Opp], "AA") AND Contains([Agency/Client Market - Consolidated],"GM"), "GM Opp/AA Agency", (Contains([GM/AA Market - Opp], "AA"), AND Contains([Agency/Client Market - Consolidated],"AA"), "AA Opp/Agency", "NA")) Thank you!100Views1like6CommentsURL formula to edit a record and ""refresh the page
I regularly use little API URL formula buttons like this one. var text $CopyStatustoPreviousStatus = blah blah blah ......; $CopyStatustoPreviousStatus & "&rdr=" & URLEncode($ReDisplayReport) That works well when I have a button dedicated to either refreshing the record I am sitting on or refreshing a particular report. I also use this great technique a lot to not refresh the report (so the user does not lose their place in the report or does not lose their Dynamic filter selections. var text URL= blah blah blah ....; "javascript:" & "$.get('" & $URL & "',function(){" & "$.jGrowl('email Triggered to Prospect', {life: 5000});" & "});" & "void(0);" But I would love to know how to make a button which will do some blah blah blah stuff and then refresh the screen - that way I could have the same button be used on any report and any record. Ideally it would reload the screen and preserve the user's Dynamic filter selections if they were on a report. If there a way to modify the code above to incorprate this concept &"javascript:location.reload(true);" and not do the growl pop up. ie I'm looking for a button to be able to execute a URL formula which would say edit a record and then refresh whatever screen the user is on. In that situation with a refresh, typically the user's feedback that the button click "took" will be that the report refreshed or the record refreshed, so we don't need or want that jgrowl pop up.99Views0likes19CommentsFormula to check for blank/null Multi-Select Text field
I am writing custom data rules and would like to have a rule that when a specific Multi-Select Text field [Items Awarded] is blank/null the record cannot be saved.

Hi there I?ve created a form accessible to ?everyone on the internet? for our clients to submit service requests. I added ?&ifv=20? to the url to hide the qb branding. However, doing this causes thesavebutton to become hidden. I created a formula url button that will save it using this javascript I found on the forum: var text URL = "javascript:void(DoSaveAdd())";var Text Image = "<a id='saveButton' class='Vibrant Success' onclick='DoSaveAdd()' href='#'>Submit</a>";"<b href =" & $URL &">" & $Image & "</b>" My problem now is how do I get thepage to redirect after theform is saved. Here?s a link to the form, you can try it and see what happens. https://sparkav.quickbase.com/db/bnzwm7ykp?a=nwr&ifv=20 I'd like it to redirect to an external webpage. If that is not natively possible than I'd like it to redirect to a rich text page I've created in quickbase. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, Elisha99Views2likes31CommentsURL button to edit then refresh page
I put the following code into a Formula URL field. The purpose is to change the status to completed by clicking the button. URLRoot() & "db/" & [_DBID_LOTO] & "?a=API_EditRecord&rid="&[Record ID#]&"&_fid_37=Completed" Works great, but it then goes to the response page below. Which I don't want. How do I modify the code above to simply change the status and refresh the page. ------------------------------ Steven Nelson ------------------------------98Views0likes10Comments
