Just wanted to pitch this, and see if you are seeing this as much of a need as I see it.

 

I am a heavy Notion user, which I quite a lot but I overall preffer Airtable except for one thing. NOTION Formulas as far superior.

 

To give an example, you can use dot notation in Notion formulas 

 

sum((Pagos.filter(and(current.Tipo=="Cuota",formatDate(current.Date,"MMMM")==(formatDate(today(),"MMMM")))).map(current.Monto)).first())!-->

Here I am getting fro my list of members, all the categories they belong to, and from there all the events there are, and from there all the dates. All within one single formula.

 

This would be so great in Airtable.

If I have a level hierarchy Company, Office and Contact

There is no way to bring the contact email to the Company record unless i create a roll up of a rollup so I am creating 1 extra field in Office, whereas in Notion I could simple go for:

Office.map(current,Contact.Email) I can even apply filters making it much easier to set up.

Am I the only one with this??

 

Totally agree that Airtable could make massive improvements to formulas in many different ways!

I wanted to check if it was a pain of mine only or someone else thought about it. 

Hey ​@felipe-saucedo,

Fully agree! To start off, it would be nice to at least get the dropdown of fields as I type the name of it in rollup formulas (which does not always work I believe) lol. 

Make sure to submit the form shared by Scott!
