Thank you for sharing this master class. Your Rock Thomas. With each update I am growing more and more impressed by Notion's growing capabilities. One thing though that seems to always bring me back to Excel is not being able to reference Table Sums (or other aggregate calculations) into another table for summaries .etc. I wish they fix that. Currently I have to do workarounds where I make Joiner Table for two one-to-many tables and aggregate their records.
Yep, this is one of my most-requested features as well. I wish Notion would give us a full-fledged query system that can be used anywhere, like Coda has.
I'm wondering if you would ever consider doing a walkthrough of examples of how you use your Ultimate Brain system? It helps me tremendously to see how others use a tool like that. Especially around projects. Like a beginning to end walkthrough of your process for doing a video. or some other kind of project that has multiple steps and milestones.
Hi, I know this may not be relevant to the topic of this video but could you kindly explain the difference between Table Views and Database - Inline, as they seem to look and work exactly the same.
As always great video! Is there a way to have a formula between the first day of the month and now? So it will show accurate information on a monthly basis?
Yep! Here's how you could get the first day of the month: prop("Date").dateSubtract(date(prop("Date")) - 1, "days") From there, you could use dateBetween the Date property on your records and that value to get a difference. Though you could also just do prop("Date").date() to get the numeric day of the month, then create a chart with that value as the x-axis.
For folks on paid accounts who have been fiddling with mostly-broken 3rd party chart tools for years, it's a game-changer indeed. I do my best to mostly cover things that can be done for free on this channel, but it's worth noting that many teams and companies use Notion, pay for it, and are looking for feature-coverage and tutorials!
I'll add videos to our tutorials on how you can add your own charts, but since Notion's free plan only supports one chart, I likely won't include them directly in the template. Otherwise, it'd require people to upgrade to a paid plan to use the template, which I feel isn't necessary for many people. That said, a new version of Ultimate Brain is launching soon with a ton of new features 😉
@@ThomasFrankExplainsI am just stumbling onto all of this and 100% want to implement second brain. Should I purchase the original or wait for your new template?

I am a data analyst and Notion basically combine spreadsheet like Excel and GoogleSheets, SQL, Tableau and Power BI together. Awesome !
The level of preparation for this video (with data) is just another level!
Thank you! I had a lot of fun writing the scripts to populate that set of sales databases for this video 😁
Can't believe the speed at which your new tutorial videos come out! Thank you for such a detailed explanation.

Whoah Notion leveled up with charts and formulas. Amazing Demo Tom!!! Super helpful!
Exactly what I needed - real use cases and the explanations on how to make them. Thank you so much for taking the time to make this!
5:26 regarding the "random distribution of colors", you can actually change that. View Options ==> More Style Options ==> Colorr by value.
That's really helpfull, just what I needed! Thanks!
Thank you frank! With these feature and your tutorial I can create an MVP for my startup
Tom. I am always so impressed by you. Thank you. You do an amazing service for the world.
Notion is popping off

Excellent video, thank you so much!
Very useful!
Brilliant, as always - THANKS Tom! 👍🏻👊🏻

feature length video! surely multi-value or combo-charts will be released in Q4. Do value your workaround tho.
I'm hoping so! It's not confirmed, but it'd be a very useful feature.
i bought your second brain template years ago. how do i get the updated version?
it's free to use or upgrade plan
is there a way to adjust the y axis? like if i don't want the y to start at zero, but at 50
Have you heard something about webhooks or Notion automations that send webhooks from Notion? or it will never happen?
Asking myself as well.... its been too long that this fiture do not exists...
Charts is the first big thing at the 5 years iv been using notion.... every thing else is half way... buttons, Automations, as so..
I doubt it's a game-changer due to limited free-version capabilities, but thank you for the video.

Power users use notion free? Wow. I paid within 3 days and I use it more than any other app on my computer to organize everything.
0:26 Was that freaking Bruce Wayne!
How comes that every time Notion publishes a minor new release, you call it a Game Changer?
It's basicallly a series title at this point for new-release coverage
Finally ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Finally 😍
Thomas, I can't see you using windows recently, have you quit using it whatsoever?
are u gonna upgrade Second Brain with charts?
I'll add videos to our tutorials on how you can add your own charts, but since Notion's free plan only supports one chart, I likely won't include them directly in the template.

All doughnuts more than all pies?
is charts feature free?
Charts are unlimited for Notion's paid users. Users on free plans can only have one chart per workspace.
Nickelback thumbnail? 🤣
Ha, you got the silly thumbnail variant in my split test. I typically throw in one along with two more serious ones
it's so difficult to understand
Love it!
