largerEq

The larger or equal (>=) operator returns true if its left operand is greater than or equal to its right operand. It accepts numeric, date, and Boolean operands.

number >= number
Boolean >= Boolean
date >= date

largerEq(number, number)
largerEq(Boolean, Boolean)
largerEq(date, date)

You can also use the function version, largerEq().

Example Formulas

2 >= 1 // Output: true

42 >= 42 // Output: true

// Boolean values equate to 1 (true) and 0 (false).
true >= false // Output: true

true >= true // Output: true

// For dates, "less than" equates to "before".
now() >= now() // Output: true

Good to know: When comparing dates, “larger” = “later”.

Good to know: The largerEq (>=) 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 powerlifting totals for a few lifters and compares them against the USPA standards for different lifting levels. The Level formula outputs the lifter’s current level.

Explanation

// Compressed
prop("Name") + "'s Level is " + ((prop("Total") >= 1642) ? "Elite" : ((prop("Total") >= 1508) ? "Master" : ((prop("Total") >= 1355) ? "Class I" : ((prop("Total") >= 1191) ? "Class II" : ((prop("Total") >= 1041) ? "Class III" : ((prop("Total") >= 903) ? "Class IV" : "Novice"))))))

// Expanded
prop("Name") + "'s Level is " + (
    (prop("Total") >= 1642) ? "Elite" : 
    ((prop("Total") >= 1508) ? "Master" : 
    ((prop("Total") >= 1355) ? "Class I" : 
    ((prop("Total") >= 1191) ? "Class II" : 
    ((prop("Total") >= 1041) ? "Class III" : 
    ((prop("Total") >= 903) ? "Class IV" : "Novice")
    )))))

This formula uses a series of nested if-then statements (using the conditional operators ? and :) to check the numeric value in the Total property against the minimum requirements for USPA powerlifting levels (specifically, those for the raw 220 weight class).
