How To Write Nested IF Statements In Notion

🎳 Nest IF Statement

In this tutorial I'm going to explain how nested IF statements are written inside Notion formulas. You may need a preliminary understanding of Notion formulas before understanding alternate syntaxes but I'll try my best to explain everything from the ground up. Elements I'll be using: Number, Multi-Select, Title, Date and Formula properties.

The result we want in plain english →

• if tag equals Work :: Checked

• if due within 2 weeks :: Checked

• if hours allotted greater than 2 hours :: Checked

• Otherwise :: Unchecked

The result in a nested IF Statement →

if(if(if(prop("Tags") == "Work", true, false), dateBetween(prop("Due"), prop("Today"), "days") <= 14, true), prop("Hours Allotted") > 2, true)

Break Down →

Essentially, we're going to work from the middle out:

• if tag equals Work :: Checked → if(prop("Tags") == "Work", true, false)

• if due within 2 weeks :: Checked → if(if(prop("Tags") == "Work", true, false), dateBetween(prop("Due"), prop("Today"), "days") <= 14, true)

• if hours allotted greater than 2 hours :: Checked → if(if(if(prop("Tags") == "Work", true, false), dateBetween(prop("Due"), prop("Today"), "days") <= 14, true), prop("Hours Allotted") > 2, true)

Syntax Reference →

1. FALSE: if(true, false, true)

2. FALSE: if(if(true, false, true), true, false)

3. TRUE: if(if(if(true, false, true), true, false), false, true)

4. TRUE: if(if(if(if(true, false, true), true, false), false, true), true, false)
