10 Essential Notion Formulas You Should Know & How I Use Them!

Great video ! I learned so much about how to use Notion formulas to help me manage and organize projects. I'm already putting these tips to use in my project with Riples, a social platform for sharing and collaborating on projects.

FYI, It's formulae, not formulas. The latter is semantically incoherent.

tiimeee cooooodeeeesss

Hi Simon, I´m redoing my notion from scratch and I was watching your videos to understand formulas a little more better bc I hate it and your videos are basically the only way I can navigate through this (thanks btw I love your account ) but now they changed it all and I´m here begging youu to do a tutorial bc I´m totally lost! (ps: english is not my native language so srry if I missedspell smtg)

Result of the formula can be a reminder ?

as soon as I start to focus you move to something next.

Hello there! Very helpful video! I was trying to find the answer to how I can have a link to a page appear from another database, in a master database, if based on the status of that page.
In other words - I have a master inline database, and I want one of the columns to have a link to the "active" project, placed in another database.
Thought I could find the answer through formulas, but I might be looking in the wrong place? Can you point me in the right direction for how to solve the problem?

Hey dude, pretty sure it's prop for property, not proposition. But what do I know

Hi. I am trying to find a way to create a formula where I can make a checkbox checked if two other check boxes are checked. I have a Completed checkbox and a milestone checkbox. I want a way to indicate that a task is a milestone and has been completed. Is there a way to write a formula like this? If so, could you assist me?

Why when i copy a formula exactly alike from another template it doesn't work?

These are some decent formula tips, but I think they would benefit from stressing the upsides and downsides of formatting formulas as text. Namely, you can filter on formulas, sort or group by formulas, or Calculate e.g. the sum of a formula column. And how well you can filter or sort or calculate depends on the data type of your formula. For example, if you want to see all reviews from the current week, then such a filter is easy to setup if your formula is a date, and a pain or impossible otherwise. Similarly, dates and numbers and so on are much easier to sort. Conversely, text may be easier to group.

In case you're wondering how one can determine the data type of a formula: it's the data type of the output of your formula, i.e. its outer-most function. So e.g. if that function is dateAdd(), which is depicted as a little calendar icon in the formula editor, then the formula's data type is a date, and it can be filtered and sorted and depicted in a Calendar view like any normal date property. Similarly, if the output is true or false, then the data type is boolean, and the formula is treated like any normal checkbox property.

Great video. Your content is super professional. I love the look-and-feel of your posts and your templates. Thanks for taking the time to do such great work. I find Notion formulas to be "ticky" and I hope that someday they develop an easier way to debug them.

Have you moved to Sydney?

I have struggled with formulae in Notion after being a whizz in Excel. This video is amazing, cause you have broken big topics into manageable bites. Thank you 🎉

Thank you Kind SIr 🧘🏽‍♀️👌🏽🧚🏾‍♂️

Great video as always!

Thanks for another video, Simon!
Happy Friday!
