If someone had just told me that you needed BOTH of them to grab tags from other pages I could have saved so many hours! Thank you so much for explaining it in a way I could FINALLY understand 🙏🏻🙏🏻
you have the best videos about Notion. you always go in detailed explanations and follow it with live tutorials. no other creator comes even close to how well you break it all down. thank you!!
You are a great teacher. I have watched other videos but finally someone who knows how to teach! Instead of flying through at warp speed, your pacing allows for side by side practice and clarity. Bravo! and THANK YOU!
Ahhhhh! I see. The roll up is just a piece of information from one database that you can pull from when your in another thanks to the relation between the two original datapoints. Establishing the relationship between the two databases gives you access to the other properties for both- like a merging of families. I got it. Be happy to explain the analogy for anyone. 🙂 Genius! I needed to see the picture example for it to register. I understand now.
Kudos -- by starting an example of very simple and easy example you're making it easy to learn and eventually learn more complicated aspects of the subject. Again, good work.
By far the best video I’ve seen explaining relations and rollups! Thank you for thorough examples. The ingredients and recipes example was extremely helpful! Thank you so much!!
Loved it Man! You explained this so simply and effectively. I usually never comment under videos, but the way you explained so effortlessly made me come down here and thankyou. Keep making such videos mate❤✨
THANK YOU. I have my projects and tasks databases linked, but I wanted tasks to automatically take the category of their associated project. I didn't realize that rollups were the ticket until I watched this. I'm definitely subscribing.
Great tutorial. I had used Notion and am returning to it to create a productivity system for work and home. This was a great refresher and I learned some new concepts.
Thank you so much for this video, I have been struggling with getting tables to show in a master calendar using various properties. Thanks for the step by step, super helpful!!
Oh man, you saved me and shorten my learning curve about Notion. From so many videos on TH-cam talking about Notion, only your video explains Notion straightforward and is easy to understand. Thanks!
This was very useful! Thank you for making this additional, very focused video. I'm using Notion to track my Korean studies, and based on what you've shown here, I'm going to experiment with linking grammar points discussed in specific class sessions to my general grammar point database, and specific class deadlines and meeting times to a general calendar database. You only showed linking two databases in this video, but from what you showed it looked like I should be able to link (for example), grammar points from three different classes to my grammar point database, or deadlines from all my different separate class databases to my overall calendar database. I'm looking forward to experimenting with what you taught me here, so thank you again!
Hi! In 18:30, Is there a way how to filter only the Ingredients that are In Stock? I'm trying to figure it out and not being successful so far. Thank you for the video!
Great tutorial. I have been using notion since over a year but still didn't know what relations and rollups were, until now. Thanks. Relations didn't solve the purpose I thought they would though. I have a expense tracker db in which I create a view every month (filter of expenses in that month). I was wondering if it was possible to get the total expense for every month (sum of a column) in a central DB so I can see monthly expenses in a consolidated view. Can you point me to a video of yours which can help me learn do this?
Thank you for sharing this. Notion should use this video as a reference on learning relations & rollups. I never write comments but the usefulness of this video would make me an ass not too 😂 you’ve earned my sub!
Hi! Thanks for the video, it was super helpful. Is it possible to search the info using the keywords from another database? for example, if I want to have a list of all the characters mentioned in the book but I don't want to clutter my first databse with this information. Just in case I remember the name of the character but happen to forget where they were mentioned
Why create another whole database just for the book's notes that you then have to connect, when you could just take notes on each book in its own page? I mean, I can see the necessity of having a separate notes database for other types of notes, but seems to me that a book's notes should be taken right on a book's page. I'm wondering if there's a good reason for it that I'm not thinkin about, or just a preference for having ALL notes in the same place. Forgive me if the answer is here and I missed it or in another video in the playlist. I love your videos and examples. Clear and concise and of all the Notion systems I've tooled around with, yours looks and feels like the best fit for me overall.
Very informative tutorials which has clarified 'Relations' and 'Rollups' for me. Couldn't understand it through Notion's Guidance, which doesn't want to use the Database terminology in its tutorials. However, when we start using /creating multiple databases, the concepts of keys, joins, views, and normalization come into play. In my opinion, these concepts should be explained. Otherwise, casual users will end up creating many inefficient databases.
Thank you for these tips! If I wanted to make a shopping list with the out of stock ingredients, would I create a database called shopping list, or how would I do that? Thanks!!
@@ProductiveDudeFor example: when I don't do a task (sleep well, for example). The Failure to complete this task makes notion warn me that I should not move on to the next task or task X.
It was semi-helpful. I'm trying to create a Dinner Party planner and I think I have the recipes and all thanks to this, but I want to create a guest list only using the Main person's name in the list with say Ja's family. Then I want to add his family. Do I need to add them all to a say "contacts" list and create a relation to the contacts? I'd like them to auto-fill If I put Jay & Family in the names list. Or should I just create tags? There are times I may just want say 3 of 5 selected from his family if it's an adult party. Or Say I invite certain families to say Easter dinner. I'd then add Jay & Family but need the total number of ppl attending. (not all will attend) I'd like to just select the guests via the tags in this case. But how do I get these to show auto? The same for recipes. I choose certain recipies for Easter meal, and want the main, sides, drinks and deserts to auto fill, with the recipies related to as well as the ingredients related to a shopping list or auto fill the shopping list.
Hi there, I just wanna say I love your videos. I just recently discovered notion and love it. I was wondering if I could get some help on how I want to relate two or possibly 3 databases indirectly. Basically I want to make a new project using a project template but I want to have a view of a notes database and have it show me all the notes that have the same Category and subcategory as the project. I was thinking about if I would need to make a 3rd database that is just category names with subcategories as a multiselect property. I don't want to have to go through all of my notes each time I make a new project to handpick each note I have to relate it to the project, I would like it it just pull the relevant notes based on category and subcategory. Maybe I would just need a different project template for each category and then add a filter to see the notes with the same sub category onces its created? If you would be willing to help me or point me in the right direction to learn how to do this I would be very appreciative, thanks
I'm not sure how to achieve this off the top of my head. Sounds quite complex. Is it really necessary to have categories AND subcategories for notes? Just curious why you might want to do this.
@@ProductiveDude thanks for getting back to me. I don't suppose I would need subcategories as well, I could maybe have an additional multiselect property for other tags for searchability. I'm thinking I would need to make a separate project template for each area and just use a filter for the notes with the matching area.

You're very welcome!
I left a like for the first time that somebody on TH-cam asked to me to. That’s how useful and helpful this was
