Quick summary
A Notion progress bar is created by adding a Formula property to a database that converts a numeric Progress value into a visual bar using Unicode block characters. This step-by-step demo shows exactly how to set up the formula and display percentage-based progress directly inside your Notion table.
Steps
- Open the Notion database that contains your progress tracker and confirm the Progress column has numeric values such as 20, 40, 60, 80, or 100.
- Click the + button beside your database properties to add a new property.
- Select Formula from the property type list.
- Name the new formula property Progress Bar.
- Click the first cell under the Progress Bar column header to open the formula box, then enter the formula: repeat("█", floor(Progress / 10)) + repeat("░", 10 - floor(Progress / 10)) + " " + format(Progress) + "%"
- Check the Preview section to confirm the progress bar is being displayed correctly.
- Verify the Progress Bar column now shows a visual progress bar based on the number in the Progress column.
