When it comes to databases in Notion there’s a million features, tips and tricks to make your work not just easy to manage but also beautiful. Today, we're diving into creating progress bars. Whether you’re looking for a quick and simple solution or a fancier, more sophisticated approach, we've got you covered. Don’t worry, we’ll guide you through each step, making it a breeze to understand and implement.
Version N°1: Add Manually the Percentage
- Create a
number
property. - Edit it and change from number to
percentage
. - Choose a
color
and wether you like aring
or abar
, that’s it! Super easy.

Version N°2: Automatic Calculation of the Percentage
This one is more helpful when you have two databases that are related. At the end we’ll show you a short example.
- Connect two databases with a
relation
, for example we’ll create a relation between the Projects and the Tasks data base. - Create a
rollup
and edit it following the next steps: - Chose the relation.
- Property: status.
Calculate
: percent → per group → complete.- Customize it, wether you like a bar or a ring and the color of your choice.
As your second database updates, you'll see the percentage change automatically. Simple, right?!

→ Don’t forget you can schedule a discovery call with us for free.
