π Which Column Types Work with Blocky Charts?
To create a chart in Blocky, your Notion database must include at least:

- A Value column β used for numerical data like totals, counts, or scores
Here are the supported types:
β Label Column Types (for categories, names, dates, etc.)
- Title
- Rich Text
- Select
- Multi-select
- Status
- People
- Date
- Formula (that returns text)
β 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 β otherwise, Blocky wonβt be able to render the chart properly.
