    Hey there productive people! In today's Notion tutorial I show you how to use relations and rollups in Notion for beginners. This Notion tutorial has been highly requested so I thought I would make a video about it!
    One example I show is relating a book database in Notion to a notes database. This relates a certain book to a specific set of notes for that book. I then use a rollup to show the tags of that specific note relating to the book... a bit coinfusing, right? Well, once you watch this Notion tutorial on relations and rollups, you will understand how to use them for your own Notion databases.

    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!

    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.

    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?

    Hi Carter. I understood pretty well the concept well, thanks. I still have a problem, though. I set up two databases one for the authors and one for the books. I connected them throuugh relations and rolll ups and it worked, the problem is that in a column where i added 15 books only 10 are shown. If I want to see the others I have to click inside the cell. Is there a way to see them all?

    Hi,
    Thanks for sharing all the info. I made a table and at the bottom I can show the sum of my numbers by selecting the SUM option. Or the average by selecting the AVARAGE option.
    I would like to import the value of this field, this sum or average in a new table.
    Is that possible? And of so, how can I do that?
    TXS Greetings.

    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.

  • @ColleenSchake
    @ColleenSchake 4 місяці тому

    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.
