Notion Explained: Database Grouping

Relational databases are the cornerstone of Notion's distinct power. Grouping items by a specified property makes databases even more comprehensible, insightful and beautiful. Let's explore how to configure grouping, then implement a few practical examples that demonstrate the feature's versatility.

Really great. You have managed to identify just the right amount of time to explain concepts on all your videos.

I like the functionality that this update gives!

I watched the video only to know how to get the equivalent of SQL "sum(x) group by (x)" and the answer is at 12:21, that is to use the number near the group title. It changed my life. Thank you so much! <3

thank for your video. I have a question: I have input the information into the database, but when I group it by the formula property, the information that i input do not appear, even in the same category, some appear, some do not. so what should i do to fix that error

Is there a way to create a table with summary calculations of other grouped table? For example, I have a table where rows are weeks, and I want to group them by month but create a new table or new view with all monthly summaries. And then a nested other table with TRIMESTERS. Would that be possible in Notion?

Thanks now I know why only 1 letter was showing from my function

Too bad you can't group by rollups :/
You have to create a formula property that references the rollup and then group by that.
