While Obsidian, Templater and many other plugins supports local datetime (For weeks: ‘ww’ instead of ‘WW’) - I couldn’t find a clean way to add a query to a Weekly note: showing all notes created this week.
Solution Approach
While definitely not perfect, but it avoids a need to use dataviewJS or tag all previous notes with week number. This is what i went with and it seems working:
TABLE
file.ctime AS "Created",
dateformat(file.cday, "EEE") as "Day",
regexreplace(file.folder, ".*/", "") AS "In"
FROM ""
WHERE
date(file.cday).year = <% tp.date.now("YYYY")%> AND (
(date(file.cday).weekyear = <% tp.date.now("ww")%> AND
dateformat(file.cday, "EEE") != "Sun")
OR
(date(file.cday).weekyear = <% tp.date.now("ww")%> - 1 AND
dateformat(file.cday, "EEE") = "Sun")
)
SORT file.ctime ASC
Closing Remarks
Is there an easier way to do it? Not sure, but if someone have any ideas please do share them.
Couldn’t find any source regarding if Dataview planning to either support other datetimes or support latest version of Luxon Tokens - it has a “Local week year, unpadded” with ii but it doesn’t work.
If you name your weekly notes using the format 2025-W28, this template allows you to automatically display all notes created during that week — without the need for tags or complex dataviewJS scripting.
Just include the following Dataview query inside your weekly note:
TABLE
dateformat(file.ctime, "EEEE, dd MMMM") AS "🕒 Created",
regexreplace(file.folder, ".*/", "") AS "📁 Folder"
FROM ""
WHERE
!contains(file.folder, "Templates")
AND !contains(file.folder, "Attachments")
AND !contains(file.folder, ".trash")
AND date(file.cday).year = <% tp.date.now("YYYY") %>
AND (
(date(file.cday).weekyear = <% Number.parseInt(tp.file.title.split("-W")[1] ?? "0") %> AND dateformat(file.cday, "EEE") != "Sun")
OR
(date(file.cday).weekyear = <% Number.parseInt(tp.file.title.split("-W")[1] ?? "0") %> - 1 AND dateformat(file.cday, "EEE") = "Sun")
)
SORT file.ctime ASC
The result is a clean and readable weekly summary. You can open any past or future note (e.g., 2025-W10, 2025-W32), and the table will dynamically update to show notes for the corresponding week.
I also adjusted the formatting to make the creation date more human-readable using:
