Converting dataview query to tracker query

Help
1

What I’m trying to do

Hi all, I’m trying to create an obsidian-tracker query that indicates if I’ve fulfilled something each day on a Calendar graph.

My setup

Within all of my notes I have a frontmatter Date property: creation-date, which contains the notes creation date in the YYYY-MM-DD format, like so:

---
creation-date: 2025-03-13
cssclasses: 
tags:
  - "#daily/2025/mar"
---

Then within the daily note content, I may or may not include some activity tag, indicating if I did something that day, and how many times (if) I did, for example:

#health/wentoutside: 1
#health/swam: 1
#health/cycled: 1km
#health/walked: 1km

#health/exercise/run: 1km
#health/exercise/squats: 50
#health/exercise/pressups: 50

Things I have tried

With dataview I can almost achieve this perfectly with:

CALENDAR date(creation-date) FROM "Dailies"
WHERE contains(file.tags, "#health/wentoutside")

Although, I’m having trouble with the quantity bit… and it feels it’s better suited for obsidian-tracker.

With obsidian-tracker, (I think) I’m having difficulties with using a tags presence or non-presence as data.

I was confident with this snippet, but I get “No valid date as X value found in notes 48 files are not in the right format.”

searchType: frontmatter, tag
searchTarget: creation-date, health/wentoutside
xDataset: 1
folder: Dailies
month:
    startWeekOn: 'Mon'
    color: steelblue

I like not needing to specify that an activity wasn’t done that day, mostly because it feels like useless filler (even if it’s only a couple bytes), but I’d be grateful for any pointers, or feedback.
Thanks in advance

After comparing my setup to the obsidian-tracker examples and locating the very helpful Input Parameter page under the obsidian-tracker github docs section (can’t put links here). I’ve managed to resolve my own problem.

The main issue with my setup for use with obsidian-tracker seemed to stem from the fact I had a space between my tag and the value, so changing #health/wentoutside: 1 to #health/wentoutside:1.

Here’s a couple examples for my notes in a slightly adjusted format (the space after #tag:) like:

---
creation-date: 2025-03-14
cssclasses: 
tags:
  - "#daily/2025/mar"
---

# Daily Note

<< [[2025-03-13-Thursday|Yesterday]] | [[2025-03-15-Saturday|Tomorrow]] >>

#health/wentoutside:1

#health/cycled:1km
#health/walked:1km

#health/exercise/run:1km
#health/exercise/squats:50
#health/exercise/pressups:50

With trackers such as

searchType: tag, frontmatter
searchTarget: health/wentoutside[0], creation-date
datasetName: Went outside, Date
folder: Dailies
xDataset: 1
month:
    startWeekOn: 'Mon'
    color: steelblue
    showSelectedValue: false

searchType: frontmatter, tag
searchTarget: creation-date, health/exercise/squats[0]
datasetName: Date, Squats
folder: Dailies
xDataset: 0
month:
    mode: annotation
    startWeekOn: 'Mon'
    color: steelblue
    showAnnotation: true
    showSelectedValue: true
    annotation: x, 💪
    showAnnotationOfAllTargets: false

searchType: frontmatter, tag
searchTarget: creation-date, health/cycled[0]
xDataset: 0
folder: Dailies
summary:
    template: "First: {{first()}}km\nLast: {{last()}}km\nMinimum: {{min()}}km\nMaximum: {{max()}}km\nMedian: {{median()}}km\nAverage: {{average()}}km"
