In Zapier, I’m trying to run an operation every hour that adds a record representing +1 hour following the last previously created hour on our schedule (trying to do this on a rolling 3 week horizon).
I have reference numbers for a different purpose, but figure they’re the easiest way to approach this.
I’m having trouble pointing Zapier at the highest “ref #” record.
Is my search formula off? It returns a record when testing, but not record 217. It’s returning Ref: 25.
Hi
Good question.
Try linking all the records to a MASTER record in another Table, then you can use a Rollup field to get the MAX value.
This will allow you to always find the same MASTER record to get the MAX value from all the linked records in the other Table.

You also may be able to achieve what you want using Airtable Automations.
Hi
Good question.
In Airtable, try this…
Link all the records to a MASTER record in a different Table.
Add a Rollup field to the MASTER record to get the MAX value from the linked records.
Then you can find the same MASTER record to always get the MAX value.
Hi
Have you had an opportunity to try Troy’s suggestion? If so I’d love to know how you got on - did it work? Do you need some more help with the formula?
