Principles

There is only 2 principles to understand in Notion Charts.

1. The aggregator

The first "column" you set-up on Notion Charts is called the aggregator.

It's used to group your database by it's values.

For example if you have a database which contains peoples (name, age, height, weight).

By setting your aggregator to the age column all these people will be grouped by their ages. So if the second Notion Chart "column" is the height with the avg action, you will plot the average height by ages of your dataset.

2. Actions

Actions are performed on column datas, in order to obtain specific results.

Right now there is 4 actions possible:

  • value => Simply return the value of the cell.
  • count => Will count how many items are in the aggregated set.
  • sum => Return sum of all values in the aggregated set. (only works with numbers)
  • avg => Return average of all values in the aggregated set. (only works with numbers)
