description Notion Databases (Advanced Use) Overview
Focusing specifically on the database functionality within Notion, it allows users to create structured data views (like Kanban or Gallery) that mimic a database. It is excellent for organizing content *around* data points (e.g., a database of books, where each book page contains rich notes). It is best when the content richness of the page is as important as the data point itself.
help Notion Databases (Advanced Use) FAQ
Can you create relational databases in Notion that link entries between tables?
Yes, Notion supports a relation property type that connects entries across separate databases—for example, linking a 'Tasks' database to a 'Projects' database so each project page displays its associated tasks. You can also add rollup properties to aggregate data from related entries, such as counting the number of completed tasks per project.
Does Notion support formulas in its databases?
Yes, Notion database properties include a formula type that supports mathematical operations, text manipulation, date calculations, and conditional logic. In 2023, Notion released Formulas 2.0, which expanded the formula language with more advanced functions, improved variable handling, and multi-line formula editing.
Can you filter and sort Notion databases by multiple conditions?
Yes, Notion supports multi-level filtering with AND/OR logic, allowing you to chain conditions across different properties such as status, date, assignee, and tags. Filter groups can be nested, and the resulting filtered view can be saved as a named view accessible to anyone who has access to the database.
