I have started solving some reading comprehension test for school and now I want to see my progress with a line chart. I note down my solved test in separate notes and view them from a base file using the built-in plugin “Bases”. I have properties like question count, right answers, wrong answers, solved time and a function that calculates performance based on time and right answers. Now I want to be able to export that value to another note.
I have tried a community charting plugin called “Charts View” but couldn’t figure out how to use it properly mainly because I don’t know how to reference properties of a note. But still that wouldn’t be enough since I want the function value.
How can I set the Charts View plugin to get those properties and stuff? Or is using them across notes even possible?
+1, using this functionality in notion for tracking progress on things, would be cool if i could do it with bases too. I think i might switch more fully to obsidian if it had this!!
It would be nice if, and I hope, that a charts-based view would be natively supported by the Obsidian team. While the plugin is sufficient for the basic needs, there is still a lot of work that could be done.
For example, if you separate by a property that uses a wikilink-styled value, then the resulting legend renders with the double brackets instead of a link. In addition, it can only be installed via BRATS at the moment.
I have an idea. Base provides variables, and Mermaid retrieves the variables first before rendering, so that you can quickly have multiple charts provided by Mermaid. Furthermore, variables can be used in other code, allowing users to gain more possibilities and share their charts with each other in the community.
