What I’m trying to do
I’m studying for med school and am trying to generate an auto-tracker for the videos I’m watching. Each obsidian page is a section of videos, and each individual video is a header in that page (followed by notes). I’m trying to make a table in dataview that looks something like this:
| Section | Incomplete Videos | Complete Videos |
|---|---|---|
| Genetics 5 | Genetics 5.1 | Genetics 5.3 |
| Genetics 5.2 | ||
| Microbiology 6 | Microbiology 6.1 |
Basically where Column 1 is the obsidian page, and columns 2 and 3 are the headers associated with the checkboxes.
Things I have tried
TABLE file.folder AS "Subject", file.link, choice(file.tasks.completed, file.tasks.link, "") AS "Complete Videos", choice(file.tasks.completed, "" , file.tasks.section) AS "Incomplete Videos", file.tasks
FROM "Step 1"
WHERE length(file.tasks) > 0 AND contains(file.tasks.Course, "KF")
However, this seems to generate a bullet point for each header and within that, checks for all checkboxes in the page that are complete/incomplete and repeats for each header. I’m realizing the checkboxes are not inherently tied to a header, just a page. Is there any way to do this simply? (I’m a beginner at this kind of work, and am still adjusting to the volume of studying in med school). I’m happy with a dataview task version instead if that works better. I would create an obsidian page for each video instead of just a header, but because each video varies from 3 minutes to 20, headers are simply my best option for cohesiveness. Thanks so much, would really appreciate any help!
