Write Airtable formula fields for me. My table fields and their types: [FIELDS]. What I want to calculate: [CALCULATIONS]. Sample records: [SAMPLE_RECORDS].

For each calculation give a table row with Goal, Formula, Explanation of each part, and Result for two sample records with the arithmetic shown. Cover common cases: days until a deadline with DATETIME_DIFF, an overdue flag with IF and IS_BEFORE, joining names with & while handling blanks, status labels, percentage complete, rounding, and conditional text. Mark function names and syntax you cannot verify [VERIFY against the Airtable formula reference].

Explain common errors: field names in curly braces must match exactly, blanks behave differently from zero, and text numbers differ from real numbers. Show how to test each formula on a few records before using it in a view or automation, and offer a simpler rollup or lookup where a formula is not needed.

Prefer readable formulas and split long ones into helper fields when that helps.
