🧱 What Is a Column Type (Property Type) in Notion?

Each column in a Notion database has a defined property type that determines what kind of data it holds — such as text, numbers, dates, or tags.

Here’s an example Notion database with common property types:

• Expense → Title
• Amount → Number
• Date → Date
• Category → Select
• Payment Type → Select
• Receipt → Checkbox
• Notes → Rich Text

📊 Which Column Types Work with Blocky Charts?

To create a chart in Blocky, your Notion database must include at least:

• A Label column — used for x-axis values or chart labels
• A Value column — used for numerical data like totals, counts, or scores

Here are the supported types:

✅ Label Column Types (for categories, names, dates, etc.)

• Title
• Rich Text
• Select
• Multi-select
• Status
• Email
• People
• Date
• Formula (that returns text)

✅ Value Column Types (for numbers)

• Number
• Formula (that returns a number)
• Rollup (only if returning a number)

Make sure your value column only contains numerical data — otherwise, Blocky won’t be able to render the chart properly.
