Tracker graphs only parse when using non wiki-linked dates.

Example table:

Leaving the wiki links on the dates does not allow the graph to show.

This table will work though:

FWIW, this is my tracker codeblock:

searchType: table
searchTarget: __inbox/T-Mobile Data Tracking[0][0], __inbox/T-Mobile Data Tracking[0][1]
xDataset: 0
line:
    yAxisLocation: none, left
    lineColor: none, yellow
    showLegend: true
	fillGap: true

That would suit me too. I have a bunch of entries for running in the form of 'run:: 5.32 @ 6.21'. This means that I ran 5.32km at a pace of 6.21 minutes per km. I would love to be able to plot that as two lines on a chart. At the moment I'm doing this by recording the string directly in the body of my daily note rather than in the front matter. Can I get the two values using a text search target and regular expression ? I'm struggling to understand the syntax of how to do that.

Thanks

First of all, great plugin and amazing concept, so kudos to that for the developer.

Problem statement is, I am trying to fetch the number of todos (by tag) created with respect to the dates and trying to draw a line chart for it. I want to know about two problems i am facing here,

if Folder has an emoji in its name, Parser doesnt work

First one is, the YAML parser is not parsing a folder name with an emoji, its saying that the folder doesnt exist, dont know if am doing wrong there.

If i give the root folder as vault, then it returns an absurd result for searching the occurrences of "#todo"

I am confused, since it dint accept the emoji, i gave the root folder as vault and tried to get all the occurences of the tag todo and still it dint work.

Things i am sure about

• Yes i create todo tags every single day
• The emoji did not work for folder name whatsoever, tried from multiple source (maybe i am missing something here)

Is there support for non-daily trackers? For example: I track the size of certain muscles in order to follow progress. I do this every other day and not every day. When I render charts there are gaps between data points. Lines are not drawn, so I have to go with bar charts. However, the more time goes by the narrower get the bars, since most of the days there are no data points. I'd like an option ignoreEmpty where dates are skipped when there is no data for the given date. Is this already possible?

Originally opened this to ask about why I couldn't get the month view trackers to appear. Then, later on, they started working, and it wasn't because of anything I'd changed in my setup. (I did change things, but changing them back to test didn't break the month view.)

I'm still having issues with not all of my entries showing up on bar and line graphs, even for ones written and detailed in the exact same way as a working graph, with the only difference being the searchTarget. All the bits it's looking for are in the same format and in the same note as an entry that is working for a different searchTarget (And it's not as if the new searchTarget itself can find nothing, as some of the instances are appearing. But others with identical format, pasted in a different Daily Note, are not appearing.) Perhaps this is also a delay, but some of it has been missing for longer than the month view trackers were.

All-round weird experience with this. But it looks really handy, so I really hope I can straighten it out!

It will be nice for me that I use same data in same format

Hi, I think this plugin will be very useful. I'm using the following code:

searchType: tag
searchTarget: dailyquestions/meditate
folder: Daily Notes
line:
yAxisLabel: Rating
yMin: 1
yMax: 9

Where Daily Notes is the Daily Notes folder. I am A Brit so my Date format default is DD-MM-YYYY. For some reason, the charts do not render at all when I use the above syntax. There are no error message. Am I missing something?

I have the following set up:

searchType: text
searchTarget: 'Run::.*@(?<value>[\s]*[0-9]+[\.][0-9]*)'
folder: /journals
startDate: 2021 05 01, Sat
line:
    title: Running Pace
    xAxisLabel: When
    yAxisLabel: Pace
	yAxisUnit: min/km
	lineColor: red

However, none of the labels show nor any lines. I just get this:

I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong !

Hello, I am unsure why this problem exists.

my code is:

searchTarget: Learn, Improve my wellbeing, Make progress, Manage my energy, Be mindful, Contribute, Share, Strive, Love my family, Love myself
searchType: dvField
datasetName: 👩‍🎓 Learning, 👩 Wellbeing, 📈 Progress, 💡 Energy, 🌸Mindfulness, 🎁 Contribute, 📬 Share, 💯 Strive, 💕 Family, 💜 Self-love
folder: + Day Notes
startDate: 2021-05-15
fitPanelWidth: true
line:
    title: Daily Questions Summary
    lineColor: magenta, red, orange, green, cyan, blue, purple, indigo, black, grey
    showLegend: true
    legendPosition: right
    yMax: 10

I am trying to achieve this so my data is read from a Day Note and translated across to the tracker.

The section in my day note looks like this:

- #❓/👩‍🎓 | Learn:: 1
- #❓/👩 | Improve my wellbeing::  2
- #❓/📈 | Make progress:: 3
- #❓/💡 | Manage my energy:: 4 
- #❓/🌸 | Be mindful:: 4
- #❓/🎁 | Contribute:: 5
- #❓/📬 | Share:: 6
- #❓/💯 | Strive:: 7
- #❓/💕 | Love my family:: 7 
- #❓/💜 | Love myself:: 8

I create pages in the specified day note folder, shown on line 7 in the Tracker Example, using the data from my Day Note just above, yet i receive this: https://gyazo.com/5dfea46876248dacb4ea349b5ae87357

Sorry for your time, I just have no idea what I'm doing wrong.

Can you add Start Date and End Date to the summary template variables so that we can see the Start Date and End Date of the latest streak and the Start Date and End Date of the data set.

As I mentioned in the Discord; would be nice if I could track and graph rows (say in a table) like date: 2021-03-04 time: 5:45 systolic: 125 diastolic 65. I can make a table nicely using dataview it would be amazing if they could play together!

Enhancement

It would be great if generated graphs would interpolate data.

For example, say we have the following data:

Day 1: 150
Day 3: 160

Then, the graph would interpolate the data and plot a point at day 2 with a value of 155.

In the time value example, one can use 8:1 in the front matter to denote one minute past eight in the morning. It would be great to support more operations like this, e.g. something like the following:

• 00:01:30 or something like 1min30sec for 1 minute and 30 seconds
• 01:01:30 or something like 1h1min30sec for 1 hour, 1 minute and 30 seconds

I am not sure what is the best way to do this, but it would be great to be able to denote time values in a more flexible way.

The example Weight Log chart looks good because it has yMin = 60 and yMax = 80, and only that range of values is shown, not the full range starting from yMin = 0. However, if the range of values is only between yMin = 65 and yMax = 80, suddenly the chart shows up with yMin = 0, even if there is no value smaller than 65 and even if you set yMin = 65 explicitly.

This is because of the code used here:

    if ((yMin >= 0 && yMin > yMax * 0.8) || (yMin >= 0 && graphInfo.accum)) {
        yScale.domain([0, yMax * 1.2]).range([height, 0]);
    }

Since 65 > 80 * 0.8, it forcefully sets the minimum of the yScale to 0. This is not what one would expect, not sure why you are doing this?

Hello,

How can I specify the name of the labels for the legend?
It would be nice if by default it would use the name of the tags.
But is it possible to set the names manually?
(I went through the docs and the example but couldn't find what I needed)

Here is my code

```tracker
searchType: tag
searchTarget: time-tracking/phd, time-tracking/crypto, time-tracking/social, time-tracking/sport
folder: /02_AREAS/daily_notes
startDate: 2021-06-21_Mon
endDate: 2021-06-27_Sun
bar:
    title: Time tracking for week 24
	yAxisLabel: Time
    yAxisUnit: h
    yMin: 0
	yMax: 16
	allowInspectData: true
	showLegend: true
	legendPosition: right
    barColor: green, yellow, blue, orange
```

Here is what I get:

Thank you for this awesome plugin. It helps me keep things in Obsidian.

I tried looking for a way to change the plotted graph area, but couldn't find any way.
Can the area or the size of the graph be changed?

Currently it previews as a square block, I intend to have it full page width and maybe scrollable too. Possible?

This is a really useful plugin, thank you for making it!

It would be great if this could be used for tracking blood pressure values as well. The peculiarity here is that you want to track two values, the systolic and diastolic value, and display them in one diagram. You may also want to track and show the pulse together with these. Another similar use case would be tracking weight and waist size in the same diagram.

Maybe we can have an option to display the values for more than one tag in one diagram, and the possibility to specify multiple values with a single tag, since entering blood pressure values with two or three different tags will be cumbersome.

Following the time values example, the following can be tracked if they are included in the front matter. However, if they are defined as Dataview inline fields, they cannot be tracked with this plugin.

clock-in:: 8:1
clock-out:: 17:0
sleep:: 9:2 pm/6:37 am

The following gives no results:

searchType: dvField
searchTarget: sleep[0], sleep[1]
valueShift: -24:00, 00:00
datasetName: Sleep, WakeUp
line:
    title: "Sleep"
    yAxisLabel: "Time (24h)"
    lineColor: yellow, red
    showPoint: true
	showLegend: true

Am I missing anything in the query above?

Hi, I've been using this plugin to track task completion on daily notes with great success, but I'm stumbling over an issue today.
I want to track my fasting intervals, so made a table inside a new note looking like this:

And on my graph page, I want to display intervals (I only need column 1 and 2), something akin to this.
.

Is this currently feasible or it's something not implemented yet? I looked at the extensive documentation, and while I did find how to parse a table data into a calendar view, it was only one-off events.

Instead of asking users to input their daily note format + their daily notes folder, I recommend you use thedaily-notes-interface npm package so that you can keep these values in sync with the Daliy Notes plugin.

https://github.com/liamcain/obsidian-daily-notes-interface

The regex for searching tagged values is very strict. For instance, it ignores the following:

My weight todaay was #weight:100kg!

I think the parser should allow and ignore any punctuation characters after the value.

this way I can make a dashboard with word streaks, daily words in my could and on given projects see my writing progress over time, and of course, be a bit ashamed of myself when I slack off.
many statistics I can think about like most words written ever. accumulative words in the vault, count streaks, and words to go to a given goal....

I'm using the Emoji Tool Bar GITHUB from Oliveryh.

I know that it's just images. Is there any support for this. The text type and the star examples didn't work.

I keep seeing the message 'invalid date range'. What am I doing wrong? I already set the date format to YYYY-MM-DD_ddd and the journal folder in the plugin settings. Thank you!

searchType: tag
searchTarget: #🔥/learn  
folder: /
startDate: 2021-05-08_Sat
endDate: 2021-05-10_Mon
line:

    xAxisLabel: Date
    yAxisLabel: Value

This plugin is the best -- many thanks for taking the time to put it together!

I am trying to make a bar chart of multiple exercise types. I've looked at the examples and I just can't see what I'm doing wrong -- if you see in the attached, the individual tags get read as expected, but when I try and put them all in one chart it draws only a selection.

PS. A more natural chart for this would be a stacked bar chart; it doesn't look like it's on the roadmap but it would be great.
PPS. Multiple inputs on the calendar option would be great.
PPPS. Also, an option to add a legend.

Hey there, just discovered this - thanks for the great plugin!

I wanted to make a feature request. For a lot of habits, the main thing we want to track is just completion on a given day.
The best visual for this is actually not a bar/line graph, but a calendar view so you get a visual sense of streaks + context on days of the week.
It'd be great if we could add support for this, either in a typical vertical calendar format, or something like the Github activity view:

There's another plugin that is somewhat related you might look at for inspiration: https://forum.obsidian.md/t/obsidian-activity-tracking-specific-project-or-vault/12873

Hope you take it into consideration!

I use Tags to label some of my tasks

-  [ ] #Health/Water  - Fill water Jug 
-  [ ] #Routine/maintenence - Clean out inbox
-  [ ] #Health/Vitamins Take vitamin B12
-

Is there any way to filter tasks by both tag and task? Tried to do it but running into issues

For some items, such as "percentage of days in the office" it would be helpful to have a pie chart graph type. I already track this using a bar chart (with a -1 penalty so I can see "up bars" when I'm in the office and "down bars" when I'm not, but would love to track various percentages (last 30 days, last 90 days, and last 365 days).

Thanks for considering this!

Could you add the ability to count completed tasks? For example, I have a task list that includes walking everyday. Instead of counting the occurrence of the tag #walk, I'd like to count how many times the task

• walk

is completed.

searchType: table
searchTarget:  _Dailies/Tracker/tracking[0][0], _Dailies/Tracker/tracking[0][11]
xDataset: 0
month:
    startWeekOn:

    color: green
    headerMonthColor: orange
    dimNotInMonth: false
    todayRingColor: orange
    selectedRingColor: steelblue
    circleColorByValue: true
    showSelectedValue: true

I use a table for tracking everything. I had a count of habits accomplished in a day at the end of the table. I had values greater than 2 in zero-indexed column 11, but the links and solid circles are not showing up. Am I missing something?

Moving average

hello, thank you for plugin, i like to request if is possible in examples section, you put the md files with the data that the examples is using, because i am having a little problens to parsing my data, and with complete examples will be more easy to me learn the plugin funcions.

This could easily be a syntax mistake on my part, but providing details in case it's not.

Table is in /testTable.md, contents:

# Hello

| theDate    | theValue | 
| ---------- | -------- |
| 2021-07-11 | 2        |
| 2021-07-12 | 4        |
| 2021-07-20 | 10       |

Tracker is in /testTracker.md, contents:

```tracker
searchType: table
searchTarget: testTable[0][0], testTable[0][1]
xDataset: 0
line:
    yAxisLocation: none, left
    lineColor: none, red
    showLegend: true
```

This gives the following error in console when viewing testTracker.md:

main.ts:469 Uncaught (in promise) TypeError: Cannot read property 'getParentTarget' of null
    at _l.eval (eval at <anonymous> (app.js:1), <anonymous>:15:167456)

I'm using Obsidian v0.12.10 and Tracker v1.8.2.

This is a very interesting plugin, thanks for developing this!
I was wondering if you'd consider adding the ability to track time as a value.
Right now I include the time I worked on something in my daily notes frontmatter like so:

---
clocked-in: 09:00 am
clocked-out: 05:00 pm
---

I'd like to visualize it with a line graph showing two lines, one for the clock-in time and one for the clock-out time.

Maybe it would be more feasible with a 24h time format instead of a 12h time format as well as adding the unit in the Tracker code block? What do you think?

I have a lot of old journal entries which have slightly different file name structure.
An example of Old format is YYMMDD - grace which in obsidian is as YYMMDD[ - grace]

For current year, i am using new format as YYMMDD[ - journal]

Is it possible to pull data from the both using regular expression for dateformat like YYMMD[- /journal|grace/] ?

Thanks for your work.

Heyhey, let me first say I love your plugin!

I'd really like to generate a graph that only shows the last n entries, is there any chance you could add something like

...
startDate: -n

?

Cheers

Thanks for this plugin! It is very handy for visualization. I wonder if you would consider adding an option to customize delimiters in content with multiple values.

Currently the delimiter is '/', so for example, I can search for sleep[0] and sleep[1] in the frontmatter content below:

---
sleep: 180/120
---

It would be great if we can set our own delimiter, such as "," or ";", so I can write:

---
sleep: [180, 120]
---

This will allow more flexibility and also compatibility with other uses (e.g. arrays in the Dataview plugin). Thank you!

@pyrochlore Would you mind adding support to show the text we track? Here is a prototype pic if you want to refer.

I think it will make calendar view more powerful that allows people to see their data in calendar!

I found this regex but don't really know how to name it' ' -- ?[0-9]*\.?[0-9]*

We are trying to use Tracker to make some graph related to helpdesk agent performances.

We have a collection of notes, each one of them is a review of an incident created by an agent, and has the following frontmatter :

agent: a_name
incident: a_string
sysid: another_string
incident creation date: 2021-06-21T06:13:56

Note: the note's name is the incident string (thus not a date).

After looking for a while on the doc, we were unable to get that graph to work :

searchType: frontmatter, frontmatter
searchTarget: incident creation date, agent
datasetName: xDataset, agentDataset
folder: Analysis/Incidents
bar:
    title: "Bar Chart"
    xAxisLabel: Date
    yAxisLabel: Count

Over and over again we have "No notes found under the given search condition".
They are notes in the given folder. Each of them have the right frontmatter (they are generated by a script) so we don't know what we are doing wrong.
Could you help us?

Would love to specify the interval for the y-axis. Right now it goes by .5 in my bar/line graph trackers. However, it would be handy to be able to say the interval should be 1, or 2, etc. instead of .5.

Right now I have a lot of historical data for mood tracking that is of the form:

07:37 [[🧠]] [[🔷🔷]] note of indeterminate length
more stuff 
blah blah
etc
19:36 [[🧠]] [[🔷🔷🔷] another note

My question: is there a way to configure tracker to see the lines with the timestamp above as input for mood and use the count of the symbols as the value for each? Effectively seeing the first line as equivalent to:

Mood: 2

etc?

It would be super useful to track the number of finished or unfinished tasks in specific files.

Referring to markdown tasks

• task
• finished task

Use case:
To have a graph spanning days visualizing how much I got done or didn't get done.

This is an awesome plugin, but I am having trouble getting the legend to render. I followed the example in TestLegends.md.

searchType: frontmatter
searchTarget: sleep, mood, energy, productivity
folder: Daily Notes
startDate: 2021-05-02
endDate: 2021-05-08
line:
    title: Trackers
    yAxisLabel: Sleep, Mood, Energy, Productivity
    yAxisUnit: Hours
    showPoint: true
    lineColor: black, green, red, blue
    showLegend: true
    legendPosition: right
    legendOrientation: horizontal

Can it track by adding a variable after text, such as "weightlifting: 10".
sometimes use the label to track, Obsidian label system will look very confusing .

Currently color customization is supported using plain words

bar:
	barColor: green

It'd be great to be able to customize colors using hex/rgb:

bar:
	barColor: #ffaa11

It would be extremely helpful to have an option to normalize the dataset within the tracker. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normalization_(statistics))

(Potentially even allowing us to apply mathematical functions to the dataset).

Use case: normalize datasets to compare different data. For example, overlaying sleep with a productivity graph, or overlaying weight with an energy graph, since the units are completely different, it's hard to visualize. However, normalizing all values to 0 <= x <= 1 would allow quick comparisons.

Need to understand the format of date: DD.MM.YYYY

Now it shows this:

Hi it's me again. Everything looks great now, thank you so much. The only things which is puzzling me is that the X Axis dates are all the same, even though the date points are right. Sorry to bother you again. Is there a fix?
