We’re using Coda to store the list of completed projects.
I want to highlight the last 3 on the homepage as cards. When a new project is completed, it should appear in the top 3 and bump one of the older ones.
- How do I limit the number of cards displayed to 3?
- Can I use Last Modified timestamp (should be system-generated) instead of Date Completed (manually tracked).
Hey there!
You definitely can. They key to understanding this type of workflow are the formulas slice and sort.
You can do a formula like this inside the filter settings of the table:
thisRow.in(originalTable.Sort(false, sortBy: OriginalTable.Modified).slice(1,3))
Essentially what this is saying is:
Hey Coda, only show a row in this table/view IF that row happens to be in a list of the most recent three modified rows of the base table
Here’s a quick screenshot of it working!
Let me know if you have any other questions
Here’s some documentation on those formulas to understand better how they work
