largerEq

Learn how to use the Boolean "larger or equal" (>=) operator in Notion formulas.

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().

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.

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.

// 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).
