@ShadowPaint Рік тому

This habit tracker looks very nice. Only one tip: you can actually combine the "End Date" and "Start Date" property into one (e.g. "Start-End") by just checking the box to set an end date and then to calculate the Duration you just chance: prop(Start Date) -> start(prop(Start-End)) and prop(End Date) -> end(prop(Start-End)). This is just a little thing to minimize the properties and makes it just a bit cleaner. wish you the best.

@BetterCreating Рік тому

Love this - thanks for the feedback: exactly what I hoped these videos would do. Will look into it! Thanks. S

@AyoAwotona Рік тому

Thanks for this Richard, could you type the exact formula please, as I'd like to use what you've suggested!

@ShadowPaint Рік тому

@@AyoAwotona the new formula for Duration in Weeks would be: datebetween(end(prop("date_range")), start(prop("date_range")), "weeks") +1 And instead of the two individual dates you just have the property date_range

@AyoAwotona Рік тому

@@ShadowPaint Thank you!! So I pasted your formula and it didn't work, so I created a new 'Timeframe' column and used this instead: dateBetween(end(prop("Timeframe")), start(prop("Timeframe")), "weeks") The formula I used works however, the result in the 'Duration In Weeks' is wrong. Based on the time range I entered (Oct 17, 2022 - Nov 6, 2022 , it should be 3 weeks but the result comes up as 2 weeks. Any idea why?

@ShadowPaint Рік тому

@@AyoAwotona oh yes sry i mixed up the order :) and at tge end you have to put a +1 because notion does a weird thing where it doesnt include the end date in its count (the days between 17. Oct - 6. Nov should be 21 but notion thinks its 20 and thatswhy you have to add 1 so it is correct. I will edit my comment so that people that come across it later have the correct one. For an exact explenation how it is calculatet (i think) it takes the date 6.nov 2022 and subtracts the date 17.oct (or something of this sort) and by doing so this mistake of the one day occurs.

@mazal-bb 2 місяці тому

I thoroughly enjoy this series and love my bourgeoning Simplified Notion! 💖Do you plan to update the formulas section? Your content is relatively fresh (~18 mos) a/o this writing, but it seems Notion already iterated its "formula language." I was able to follow along and make adjustments, but the formula doodads presented (to me) are distinctly different from your model. I'd like to see a stand-alone tutorial on Notion formula functions-or point me in some direction. Notion has pretty good documentation, but I'm a little lost in the weeds over there. 🙏

@BetterCreating Місяць тому

Do check the comments and Descriptions: I’ve shared a few of the fixes there, but yes, could do with doing that for this series soon! Thanks!

@mazal-bb Місяць тому

@@BetterCreating Yes, I finally picked up on the update after reading through a few comments and hacks. I'm not alone! 😊But it's also buried under the fold. I'm happy you'll consider doing a dedicated piece on formulas..that would rock!! Thanks for replying. It's so lovely. It all reminds me of the feeling when I was a kid with a brand-new paper calendar I'd rip open on New Year's Eve with my stickers and colored markers, getting all ready to be freshly nerdy all over again. Now, I get to design my own with you as a guide. 🌠🎆

@MarkNewman25 Рік тому

Great video as always Simon! Surely you know the trick to insert emojis using a colon? I.e. “:tada” Way quicker than function through Mac OS

@BetterCreating Рік тому

Yes of course - but I don’t find that works within a formula column. :)

@amermaidstudio Рік тому

Hello, I love this tutorial I’m trying to use it right now but the done button is highlighting blue, to state that it is done, I don’t know what I’m doing wrong and everything matches in the text

@BetterCreating Рік тому

Hey - think you are freeing to a formula - if so check the the prop(“COLUMN”) is matching exactly what you have called your columns, and also that all commas are in right place. Good luck!

@tophercaesar5375 Рік тому

I built this along with you. My tracker where we have number columns has 123 next to it and I can’t get it to go away. Any suggestions? I use an iPad Pro for my computer if that helps

@BetterCreating Рік тому

That 123 box is just the formatting options - is that what you are referring to? Notion has a few limitations for building on the iOS apps - desktop allows further options like resizing columns and moving blocks by drag and drop. But I think you are just here referring to the formatting options for a column?

@kellysharpe2122 Рік тому

9:11 In a database on the headings, the slash doesn't work for getting the emojis. Neither does the colon. Maybe it's only on Mac. I tried doing a cut-and-paste from another page, but the icon shows up as a rectangle. Oh well.

@BetterCreating Рік тому

No it won’t. Go to edit on the Notion browser tabs and select emoji and symbols from there. However: you don’t really need to now since Notion enabled icons for database items: just click rename and you can select one or upload. Much better! :)

@sfarhanna Рік тому

If i want to determine each habit day, i mean like yoga monday thursday and saturday. So each day i open my page, i know what habit i will do today.

@ninefivefree Рік тому

Hey Simon! Been basically binging your Notion content recently lol.. I'm trying to achieve something that incorporates tasks being delegated to team members on given projects. These tasks are generally the same for every project, so it would be awesome to create a set list of tasks when a specific project type is created, but then those individual tasks are assigned to team members. Do you have any videos that walk through something like that that you could point me towards? Otherwise I think this would make for an awesome addition to this builder series! Keep up the awesome work. You've been blowing my mind with what's possible in Notion! lol

@BetterCreating Рік тому

Ah thanks for watching and great to hear. Yes - you would need to have a paid pro plan I reckon and then you can add a people column to the template. Alternatively, on a few plan just use a select column and tags for names and filter by this if easier. I don’t currently have a video on this but it will be a nice addition in the future for sure. Once I have launched my new templates for 2023 I’ll take a look! Thanks. :)

@Aniaschance Рік тому

He mentioned the reward of ticking a box, but doesn't show that here in this setup. How I would use this, with a checkbox instead of the log number property?

@BetterCreating Рік тому

Ah yeah - sorry if that was misleading - more a figure of speach in this Notion set up: I’ve worked it out a different way in my new slide OS templates - check out my new tour vid see my my recent video on Buttons for how it works :)

@saskianieuwland5965 Рік тому

I created this habit tracker. but let say i want to do running 300 times in a year 5 times in a week. How can i let it fall under every tuesday wednesday friday saterday sunday. Like these are my habits for monday and these for tuesday. Is that possible in this build ?

@BetterCreating Рік тому

Yeah working on a new approach to this: I think using the new recurring database template feature will be great as it can generate a habit or perhaps a daily log with habit checkboxes in on the days you wish. Would then have a record of when checked and when not: could be nice: but needs some investigating!!

@BetterCreating Рік тому

This is currently only way i can think unless you use something like Bardeen.ai to generate entries you then confirm.
