This problem typically occurs because different display modes — such as Table, Board, or Gallery — handle empty or missing formula results differently. Notion formulas that depend on other database properties may return … Read more
You want to calculate compound interest directly inside a Notion database without using an external calculator. Notion formulas do not include a built-in compound interest function, but you can build one using exponentiation and repeated multiplication.
