Question

Hi guys

So im building a database of architecture youtube videoes. This database would be shared between a few of my classmates and i wonder if there is a way to check if the same URL link already has been mentioned in another column and display this with a message.

I imagine the table would look something like this

Name of youtube video, Link, Mentioned?
Architecture is fun, link, good to go
We love architecture, link, good to go
Architecture makes me laugh, link, already linked

Im really not that good at this kind of stuff so idk if its super easy. Please tell me if this needs clarification

Thanks in advance <3

You can check if an URL is already used or not with a Notion formula.

Create a new property (column) and set is as a formula using the following:

if(prop("Link") == "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gHZiAF0h1wk", "already linked", "good to go")

Just change "Link" for the name of the column where you are adding the links and change the Youtube URL for the one you need to check.

Hope that helps.
