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.

Finally! A tutorial that is not at lightning speed! Thank you for taking time with beginners!!
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 🙏🏻🙏🏻

I am just learning to tame the Notion beast. This was helpful
One of the best videos on Notion series and especially I loved it how you explained the concept of roll ups and relations 👏👏
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.
You are a great communicator and educator. Easy to follow! Thank you very much!
Nice job. Clear, to the point, and helpful.
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!
One of my favourite notion tutorials. Thank you
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!!
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.
Very helpful. I recently left Evernote after more then a decade. And although I have a notion account, I was not committed to it at all. This tutorial truly helped me connect the dots with relationships and roll-ups, and pressed me toward using Notion for fully.
That was a better and more clearer way of explaining Carter. Thanks for that
The best videos on KZread for Notion. The ingredients in stock/out of stock made roll ups make sense.

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.

Thanks alot for the wonderul explanation, took me time to figure it out until i saw ur video. So for Power Query guys, this is more like the Merge 2 queries step, followed by Expand columns step.

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!!

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.
Hello, great vid. I was curious what software do you use to record your screen and front camera at the same time? Thanks
As recipe named “Chicken Dinner” shows that you cook a lot. 😅😅😅 Thank you for this useful tutorial ❤
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?
Полезный урок. Спасибо
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?
Less than 5 minutes into the video and already a very clear graphic--that nobody else has explained--which may be the source of my problems.
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.

Thanks! Quick question -- how do you sort items in the Roll-up? For example, i want the items in Alphabetical order or maybe a customized order. Is this possible?
