I like how scripts are being integrated into the individual fields in Rowy. That probably allows to do many different things like the fields can ba actually useful not just passively presenting the data.

Edit - had wrong link here.

Something that could be potential for Airtable.

Asked (in 2019), but never answered by Airtable. Had they offered this, we would have implemented a Split() formula 2,790 days ago.

Hmm, okay, I use the EDT for CSV. Didn’t know Excel has Split.
