Hey Notion fans! I’m a bit of a nerd when it comes to solving tricky Notion problems. I get super excited about creating cool automation tricks and writing formulas for unique real-world issues.
So I’m curious what’s bugging you in your Notion setup. Got any features you’re struggling with or think are impossible to do? Let me know and I’ll try to help!
I’m good with:
- All kinds of formulas (even the super complicated ones)
- Automating stuff
- Formula-triggered automations
- Connecting with other tools
- Making those annoying multi-line graphs
- Designing efficient systems
- Other Notion quirks
Sadly, I can’t help with offline mode. And please just one problem at a time - I’m not here to build your whole workspace!
Come on, challenge me with your toughest Notion puzzle!
i’ve been struggling with notion’s database filtering. tryna set up a system where i can filter tasks based on multiple criteria like priority, due date, AND project. but it’s driving me nuts! the filters seem to conflict sometimes. any tricks for making complex filters work smoothly? would be a huge help!
I’ve encountered a similar challenge with project timelines in Notion. My solution was to create a master database for projects, then link it to separate databases for tasks and milestones. I used rollup properties to calculate progress and a formula to dynamically adjust the timeline.
The tricky part was getting the formula right for accurate scaling and date formatting. It took some experimentation, but I eventually got it working smoothly. Now, as tasks are completed, the timeline updates automatically, giving a real-time view of project progress.
One tip: Keep it simple at first. Start with basic functionality, then gradually add complexity as needed. This approach helped me avoid getting overwhelmed and ensured the system remained practical and usable.
If you’re still struggling, consider breaking down your timeline into smaller components. Sometimes, solving each part separately makes the overall solution clearer.
As someone who’s been using Notion for a while, I’ve encountered my fair share of challenges. One that really stumped me was creating a dynamic project timeline that automatically updated based on task completion. I wanted to visualize project progress without manually adjusting dates.
After much trial and error, I found a solution using a combination of rollup properties, formulas, and linked databases. The key was setting up a master project database with relations to task databases, then using rollups to calculate progress percentages. I created a formula that dynamically adjusted the timeline based on these percentages.
It wasn’t perfect at first - I had issues with date formatting and ensuring the timeline scaled properly. But after refining the formulas and tweaking the layout, it now works smoothly. It’s become an invaluable tool for managing multiple projects simultaneously.
This experience taught me that Notion’s true power lies in combining different features creatively. Don’t be afraid to experiment and iterate on your solutions.
