Ask HN: What Airtable blocks would be useful to you?

2 pointsby Lukas1994almost 5 years ago
Hi,<p>I&#x27;m planning to take part in this competition: https:&#x2F;&#x2F;airtable.devpost.com&#x2F;<p>My current idea is the following: Say you have a table with time estimates of projects (e.g. I&#x27;m 90% certain project A will take 10 to 20h). Now you want to figure out how long all your projects will take (with 90% certainty). Fun fact: you can&#x27;t just sum up your min&#x2F;max estimates (see this post). My block would do it properly.<p>That&#x27;s just one use-case. Here&#x27;s another: say you have a table with sales deals in the pipeline and the columns &quot;start date&quot;, &quot;success probability&quot;, &quot;value in $&quot; then my block would calculate the additional revenue coming from these deals (probabilistically). So in general, it would allow more complex types of aggregations over your table.<p>Does this sound useful at all?<p>If not, what Airtable block would make your life easier?
