Make a Graph in Airtable

Graphs are huge in my district. We have to have a graph with every progress update we do, plus refer to them to drive instruction. Luckily, with just a few clicks you can have a graph generated that shows a specific student and their data in a given goal area. This helps me determine whether instruction is working or not, and whether the student is on track to meet their goal and objectives!

How to Make an Airtable Graph

• Click “extensions” in the top right hand corner of your grid view
• Click “add an extension”
• Add “chart”
• Starting at the top and working your way down, change your settings to be:
  • Table 1
  • Grid View
  • Line
  • Date
  • Field
  • Score
  • Mean
  • Start at 0

FAQ’s about Airtable Accounts

• Ok, I made a graph. But, now I need another one. What do I do?
  • Easy! The graph shows you in the information you have filtered, just change your ‘filter’ field and it will automatically make a new graph.
• I’ve been gone from Airtable for a while and now my graphs are gone. What do I do?
  • Generally, my graphs always stay loaded. However, there is the option for you to close them, and sometimes I think they do so automatically. If you’re lucky, when you click the ‘extension’ button the graph will come back up just like you last left it. However, if it’s been too long you will have to go back through and reset up your graphs.
• How do I print/save the graphs?
  • If Airtable has a limitation, this is it. Right now, there is no way to print/save the graph. The extensions don’t print with the data. What we do, is simply take a screen shot and paste that graph directly in our progress updates. Additionally, you could take a screen shot and paste it in a word document (or some other software) and print/save from there. Airtable has MANY comments/requests about this on their message boards, so I hope that one day this will change!
