We Finally Have Simple Tables in Notion!

Here’s how they work.

One of the most in-demand features from the Notion community has been the ability to create simple tables. No related databases, no formula capabilities, just a grid of cells to quickly add, edit, and organize information in a spreadsheet format.

The wait is officially over.

Don’t get me wrong; Notion’s databases set it apart from almost every other work app, especially with the ability to add virtually anything as a property within a database. However, there are plenty of use cases when you don’t need that level of complexity, and just want to create a table quickly and easily.
