Supported Notion Column Types for Blocky Charts
Cover · B.250806

If you're building charts with Blocky using your Notion databases, it's important to understand which Notion column types (also known as property types) are supported.

This guide explains:

  • What column/property types are in Notion
  • The types of columns Blocky supports for chart labels and values
  • How to format your data to work with Blocky's chart widgets

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.
