Do I know anyone who’s a Notion magician and wants to drop some knowledge? I’ve been trying all afternoon to put together some databases that link to each other so I can (1) Keep properties and notes on local mountains, and (2) Log each time I climb one with additional properties. It’s thwarting me.

@jarrod I'm tempted to just use Numbers to log and Pivot Tables to slice and dice the data, which is not the outcome I expected after hearing folks wax poetic about Notion for years.

@jarrod you can pivot in Numbers? New News. Annoyingly the odee times I need to do thatI got back to excel - time to take another look and finally kill Excel.

@jarrod me no notion dude - but what you describe is very Airtable like.

@JohnPhilpin Thanks for the Airtable recommendation. I'd forgotten about that service. And yeah, for quite a while! I haven't used pivot tables much, but they're in there.

Spreadsheet displays two tables showing peaks and hiking logs on oceanic desktop background. Peaks Pivot tallies hike counts by peak and type. Summit Log details hike dates, peaks, types, and notes.

@jarrod Happy to help you figure this out if it's still eluding you on notion - I use it for work, and made a three way database thing for storing user interviews, insights and hypothesis a while back.

@alpower Sorry I missed this a couple days ago, I’d be very glad for your help. I think I found a solution, but I don’t think it’s the best solution.

@jarrod I found some reasonable instructions online - I basically took advantage of relations and rollups: www.notion.so/help/rela...
