The larger (>
) operator returns true if its left operand is greater than its right operand. It accepts numeric, date, and Boolean operands.
number > number
Boolean > Boolean
date > date
larger(number, number)
larger(Boolean, Boolean)
larger(date, date)
You can also use the function version, larger()
.
Example Formulas
2 > 1 // Output: true
42 > 50 // Output: false
// Boolean values equate to 1 (true) and 0 (false).
true > false // Output: true
true > true // Output: false
// For dates, "less than" equates to "before".
now() > dateSubtract(now(), 1, "days") // Output: true
Good to know: When comparing dates, “larger” = “later”.
Good to know: The larger (>
) operator cannot be chained in a Notion formula. A formula like 3 > 2 > 1
won’t work. Use the and operator to get around this – e.g. 3
> 2 and 2 > 1
.
Example Database
This example database records the power levels of two fighters at different stages. The Stronger formula outputs a sentence stating who the stronger fighter is at that time.

“Stronger” Property Formula
((prop("Goku") > prop("Vegeta")) ? "Goku is stronger" : "Vegeta is stronger") + " during " + prop("Saga") + "."
This formula uses the conditional operators ?
and :
to form an if-then statement. The output is then combined with strings and the output of the Saga property via the add (+
) operator (which can concatenate strings).
