Fetching single line of text from another note with inline Dataview?

[Janne_O]

I just realised that I have asked something similar earlier:

Dataview: Querying dynamic inline keys?

I’m building a system where I have a single file called Log.md, that contains a rolling list of log-entries. Every day when I enter a new entry there, it would automatically prepend something like this to the top of the note: 2022-12-29:: 21.45: Some piece of text here 2022-12-29:: 18.30: Previous entry here 2022-12-28:: 14.23: Entry from previous day here Now, I would have a separate daily note, and I would like to fetch the entries from Log.md that match the date of the daily note using da…

But there is a slight difference: In the earlier example it was just “regular” dataview query that can return several values. This time I would need to return just one value, and I would prefer an inline query.

But, in the meantime I decided to handle my request using the approach outlined in my earlier forum post. But I can’t get it to work. Which is weird, as the format in both cases is basically same: a rolling list of entries, each entry linking to a daily note. I started from the beginning and listed every entry along with outlinks:

TABLE WITHOUT ID item.text, item.outlinks
FLATTEN file.lists as item
WHERE file.name = "Values"

And it returns nothing. I even changed the format of the entries to match the one in the earlier discussion. If I do the exact same query (Modified for different note of course) for Log.md, it works fine. So I’m again stumped…
