the emoji's don't work for me it says "Argument of type text does not satisfy function slice", what do i do ?

@@charlottecatherine5027 notion updated its formulas so if you have this problem use this : substring("♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥", 0, floor(prop("Actual") / prop("Goal") * 10)) + substring("♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡", 0, 10 - floor(prop("Actual") / prop("Goal") * 10)) + " " + format(round(prop("Actual") / prop("Goal") * 100)) + "%"

@@TsuneYThi I just followed your tutorial for reading log in notion first thanks for this helpful video. Amazing job. Small concern, on a main dashboard page in current reading section its suppose to show only current reading book but instead for me it showing all of the books that I added in my read log page. Can you help me fix this issue

3:56 what is the new formula, the one on the screen does not work, error - prop is not defined. [6,10] prop is not defined. [24.28]

[@_iamTiffany_xoxo]

This worked for me. round((prop("Actual")) / (prop("Goal")) * 100) / 100

I used this formula for the 'Progress Bar' and it worked for me. Instead of 'slice' I used 'substring'. substring("❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤", 0, floor(prop("Percent Complete")* 10)) + substring("♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡"", 0, 10 - floor(prop("Percent Complete")* 10)) + " " + format((prop("Percent Complete"))* 100) + "%"

@@_iamTiffany_xoxo Hi, is there a new formula because this is also not working

[@novmommy07]

Love this and can't wait to start these for both me and my daughter for homeschooling... I wonder though, do you happen to know how to create a tracker for movies & tv series? All the ones I see are a little too technical for me to understand. I'm looking for how to keep track of the Season & Episode I'm on and maybe a season tracker for how many episodes left? I may not be making sense or over thinking it and making it much harder than it should be. LOL Anyway, thanks for this tutorial!! :)

[@kataisom5115]

So cute ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@jasmincampos4662]

Thank you for the vid, it helped me a lot! Juste one question, where did you find the picture of the bar ? The ones I have do not fit in well :(

[@berryvillain5115]

Ive been wanting to track my reading and books and tbr digitally ! This is perfect!! My question though is, how do you get all the stars n stuff in the title? Im new to notion ! Please help!

[@emsssx0688]

thank you for the video. just a quick question though; i looked at the completed notion in the link you provided and was wondering how you change the text fonts in the pages like the ones in the table? hopefully my question makes sense

[@jaybeanzx]

I think you mean it's in cursive, try that

[@abygel.a2540]

hi do u know how to create thatb cute progress bar for a specific book ? I mean creaing a bar with the current pages and the total pages, i cant seem to figure it out

[@mary_w_bts]

hi! sorry for bothering you but can you please tell me the name of the font you use on your tumbnails? its so preettyyyyy

[@user-hp2ms1lh9v]

Hi, how did you hide the navigation bar for all databases used?

[@marthamcgiver]

I did fine following along and copying everything into my own until I got to adding the Reading Goal. For some reason, when I mark a book as finished in the reading log it won't update in the Goal tracker at all. I've paused the video practically second by second to see if I missed anything and I am 100% sure I did it all exactly like you show. Any idea what I might have missed? So frustrating. :(

[@se0jun.mp3]

the progress bar using stars: REPEAT("★", ROUND(prop("Percentage") / 10)) & REPEAT("☆", 10 - ROUND(prop("Percentage") / 10))

[@user-oo2ut2pj7r]

The template is beautiful, just leave it like this 🤡 for not reading "free template" and since I don't speak English (I'm using a translator) I went to the link and since I didn't understand what it said I thought I was selling it and then I literally started following the video as a tutorial and when the last thing I was missing was the hearts bar (which I left for last) and since the code didn't work I came back here in the hope of finding the code to copy and paste and I go back to the link to look for the code and there I see that it could be downloaded for free 😭 But hey, at least now I understand better how notion works.😸

[@Ash834]

Is it possible to make the categories database book count go up ONLY if you finished a book?

[@RedsStitchery]

What if one of my columns in table is “shopping list” and I have many tables how can I put all this columns that “shopping list” in one table together for one big shopping list ? :)

[@ruru_8marini927]

HIIII After seeing your template i wanted to use it in my notion account but after i downloaded, i noticed that at the beginning in the part called "navigation" i couldn't find "reading log, reading log tracker and categories and genres". it is something normal or it is a problem i have? :)

[@valentinarossi2518]

I just downloaded and I have the same problem :( such a pity because i love this template so much (i think it's something that can be easily fixed but i'm learning right now how to use notion and this video was so helpful)

[@M.I.A21]

This is extremely helpful. But I was struggling trying to keep up. You were going too fast. And I was a little confused to where you were clicking sometimes but thank you!! ❤

[@aianio4932]

Where can you get the divider bar?

[@emmasdeaf]

how do you upload an icon without the white background??

[@TsuneYT]

Yep all you have to do is upload a png pictures (pics with transparent backgrounds) :)

helloo ur template is soo cute!! huhu i tried to use it but it always says that the page is not found :(( can you help me with this one please i really want to use ur template, it’s soo pretty 😭💗

Hello, can you share the picture bar?

[@Only_Motiv_Blog]

How to fix this error > in Progress formula????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Please

[@beccagleee]

If this helps anyone: I was struggling with the progress bar formula, and realized I didn't have the zeros populating in the "Percentage Complete" column. So, I had to adjust that formula a bit until I got the zeros to populate. Then the heart emojis in the progress bar populated for me. Hope this helps.

[@crossingponies9434]

I can't seem to get the Formula as Notion has updated the Formula system or something Can you Please help?

[@crossingponies9434]

would you also be willing to explain further the rollup relation where it is filled out as i can't seem to understand what this does

[@uhcuhc.]

etsy notion template sellers will hate you for this, lol

[@camillerochon6492]

I just purchased the template and for some reason, the navigation bar is not there and I am not sure how to access the full pages without it. Could you please help? Thanks!! :)

Hey! Thanks for grabbing the template! Please send me an email and I can have a look into it as I don’t want to accidentally miss comments on here :))!

I won’t be able to help without seeing your formula unfortunately but I would try checking if there’s correct number of brackets / checking if the right property is selected! Sometime I need a comma and it’s all 🙉, takes a few tries!

the progress one for the reading goal tracker will not work for me. It won't let me do the thing that says prop and it says that even though the book I am reading is in progress it says if is completed. does any body have anything that might help?

Hey! It sounds like there might be a hiccup with the categories. Have you made sure the categories have been created in the categories table? That might be the key to getting the book count to show up. Hope that helps!

To anyone if you can't make the formula work try this Make Goals (number), Actual (rollup) Progress (formula make sure in number) , Relation Formula Progress: Min((Goals/Actual) *100,) And the second formula, if(Percentage complete )
