I’ve created an event logging system where I have entries kept in a folder: “Calendar/Events” under filenames: YYYY-MM-DD-input1, YYYY-MM-DD-input2, etc
My daily notes are named daily in the standard format: YYYY-MM-DD under the folder “Calendar/Daily/YYYY”
I have an Events Base embedded in my daily note with a daily view filter.
date == this.file.name
… and this works perfectly
Now I want to create a view for Weekly/Monthly notes. formats: YYYY-WW and YYYY-MM
Since I am using he journals plugin, these have access to properties:
journal-start-date and journal-start-date which I’m hoping can help me.
What I’ve tried:
I’ve tried an event logging system where I have entries under filenames:
date == this.file.name
date >= this.file.journal-start-date
date >= this.file.(journal-start-date)
only to find myself with unable to parse errors.
Example event file…

I was looking at some of the detailed formula people are using.. including uses of .map | file.backlinks | etc… that I feel may be of use if I can understand what structure I’m looking at with my current formula… (considering it won’t show in the standard view, only in the embed)
So… another offshoot question.. how can I learn what options “file” offers?
file.name and file.backlinks for instance | if it that I can’t access “journal-start-date” because I am pointing my query wrong? It seemed to work with type..
To prevent Bases from interpreting your dashes as arithmetic operators, use the property’s long name:
note["journal-start-date"]
It sounds like you understand date comparisons and can take it from there, but here’s one of your formulas in case it helps to see the syntax in action:
date >= this.note["journal-start-date"]
edit to add:
There’s also a shorthand version for this note if you prefer:
