Tracker is an essential plugin like dataview, templater, quickadd, tasks, buttons, commander, calendar, periodic notes, kanban, style settings, obsidian git.

Any way to make the binary tracker (like meditation) a checkbox on the daily note instead of having to rely on 0 or 1?

How do you get the trackers to line up horizontally on the dashboard? Mine are orienting vitically.

Is it possible to perform calculations in searchTarget? For example to chart not just a variable, but a product of 2 variables?

Like another commented posted, the "Stats" block beneath the calendar doesn't appear to work as expected. The maxStreak() function appears to tell me the number of times 'meditation' appears, but not every time it appears with a value of 1. There seems to be no way to do that, according to the docs. During the last four days I have meditated 0 times, but it is telling me my longest streak is 4.

Many thanks for this helpful video ! I have followed this tutorial to build my own trackers (habits, health parameters, etc) and it worked well for a couple of weeks. But now I have a more fundamental question: should I keep logging my data in Obsidian given that all data treatment is way better done in Google Sheet (or Excel or similar) or R ? why should I keep logging my data in Obsidian when Obsidian doesnt give me a way to export these data in a structured way that can be used by data treatment apps ? Note that I am an Obsidian user/abuser, so I am not criticizing Obsidian's value here. I am just wondering whether it is the right platform to track and log quantitative data... I'd appreciate your thoughts... PS: In the meanwhile... I moved all my habits and health data logging back to Google Sheet again.

@ARx-mb6ig

Жыл бұрын

I was wondering the same (also an R user). I think you would have to write a data collector in R, which reads the first few lines of each file and extracts file name (for the date) and the frontmatter variables and their values. Afterwards you would be able to run your own analyses on it. But I was hoping for a type of data collector plug-in in Obsidian as well, which would create a csv containing the specified data, which would be easier, since Obsidian already seems to support the programming capabilities for this. Tracking my habits within my daily notes still seems more comfortable for me, as I have everything in one place.

This is great, Sergio. But what happens now with Properties? I can no longer see the YAML front matter.

Thanks man! You are helping me so much with Obsidian. I have just one problem with the summary and the longest breaks "{maxBreaks()}" variable. How do I limit this function so it starts with 0 by today. If I set "startDate: 2022-12-29 endDate: 2023-02-29 " I get following error: *No valid date as X value found in notes 98 files are out of the date range. 20 files are not in the right format.* This error does not appear if the start date is November or earlier. But then of course I get an inaccurate maxbreak. My Vault is around 10 months old so I don't understand the error here at all.
