Dataview flatten from integer to icon

Help
1

Hi All,

I have a bunch of files that have integer data for ratings between 0-5. I want to format it to a rating icon with stars. I found this interesting reply by @holroy (Replace metadatas by pictogram in my dataview table? - #3 by holroy) but not sure if it works with integers. Can someone help, please?

This is my query

TABLE WITHOUT ID "![coverimg|100](" + cover + ")" as Cover, link(file.link, title) AS Title, author AS Author, completed AS Read, ratingIcon as Rating
FROM "Books"
FLATTEN {0: "",1: "★☆☆☆☆",2: "★★☆☆☆",3: "★★★☆☆",4: "★★★★☆",5: "★★★★★"}[rating] as ratingIcon
WHERE econtains(status, "read")

If it didn’t work like that, I reckon (without testing) it’ll work if you make the key a text:

```dataview 
TABLE WITHOUT ID "![coverimg|100](" + cover + ")" as Cover, link(file.link, title) AS Title, author AS Author, completed AS Read, ratingIcon as Rating
FROM "Books"
FLATTEN {"0": "","1": "★☆☆☆☆","2": "★★☆☆☆","3": "★★★☆☆","4": "★★★★☆","5:: "★★★★★"}[rating] as ratingIcon
WHERE econtains(status, "read")
```

Thank you @holroy for your quick reply. It’s sorted, I remember trying those quotes but maybe I had the FLATTEN pattern in the wrong place when I tried it I guess. Thanks again :+1:
