Description

This is perhaps the simplest way to make a progress bar in Notion. For it to work you need a Formula property and a Select property that represents the status of an item, for example Payment Processing, Payment Cleared, Packaged, Shipped and Delivered, or Idea, First Draft, Edited, Proofread, Scheduled and Published.

Once set up, the Formula property will display a bar based on what selection has been made in the Select/Status property.

Instructions

In a database, add a Select property and set the status options. Give the property a name, like Status or “Fulfillment Stage” as used in the sample formula above.
Add a Formula property and copy the formula from this page.
Edit the formula so it matches the contents of your database. This includes:
1. Change all instances of (prop("Fulfillment Stage") so that “Fulfillment Stage” exactly matches the title of your Select property.
2. Change the == "Payment Processing", == "Payment Cleared", etc. sections to exactly match the status options of the Select property.
3. The formula above has 5 stages: 20, 40, 60, 80 and 100%. Remove or add more stages as needed by deleting or adding this sting in the formula: if(prop("Fulfillment Stage") == "Payment Cleared", "••◦◦◦ 40%",
4. Edit the “•◦◦◦◦ 20%" parts to be anything you like that represents each status selection. Update the % value and number of dots according to the number of status options.
