30 Date Formulas In Notion To Help Your Next Build
Tip: Replace every instance of prop(“Date”) or prop(“Date-Range”) with now() to use these formulas with the current date and time.
Link to example database below
1. Date Is Tomorrow
formatDate(dateAdd(now(), 1, "days"), "L") == formatDate(prop("Date"), "L") 2. Date Is Today
formatDate(prop("Date"), "L") == formatDate(now(), "L") 3. Date Is Before Or On Today
now() > prop("Date") 4. Date Is Before Today
now() > prop("Date") and formatDate(prop("Date"), "L") != formatDate(now(), "L") 5. Date Is After Or On Today
formatDate(now(), "L") == formatDate(prop("Date"), "L") or now() < prop("Date") 6. Date Is After Today
now() < prop("Date") 7. Date Lands In This Week (M-Su)
formatDate(prop("Date"), "W") == formatDate(now(), "W") 8. Date Lands In This Week (Su-Sa)
formatDate(prop("Date"), "w") == formatDate(now(), "w") 9. Today Falls Within Date-Range
now() > start(prop("Date-Range")) and now() < end(prop("Date-Range")) or or(formatDate(now(), "L") == formatDate(start(prop("Date-Range")), "L"), formatDate(now(), "L") == formatDate(end(prop("Date-Range")), "L")) 10. From Date, Find Month And Return First Day Of Month

Extra: Want more variations of date formulas? Here’s a list of every way to format dates in Notion. As well, with the addition of API and connectivity with other programs, Notion users may not need some of these formulas, which is great! I plan to make content that addresses these updates and the future potential of Notion as a task management power-house soon.
