What am I doing wrong with Dataview?

[stevek]

I’m trying to create a table where I track how far I’ve run and my average pace. I’m getting this error message…

This is the snippet in my daily notes:

Space in the YAML? See sample note attached.

It seems like u r putting the values outside of yaml. If that’s the case the key:: value should be separated with two colons. Also as Angel noted, no spacing for key name

If in yaml…

---
Distance: 3.8
Average-pace: 6.3
---

If in note/body/content…

Distance:: 3.8
Average-pace:: 6.3

Hi to the community,

I have troubles with the table view in dataview.

table from #impt
SORT file.mtime DESC

However, when i change it to list, there is no issue.

list from #impt
SORT file.mtime DESC

note: #impt is a tag that I use.

Am i missing something here? Apologies for the basic question

Hello.

The table needs one or more field values (with optional column names).

Does the following work?

dataview
TABLE file.name, file.mtime
FROM #impt
SORT file.mtime DESC

BIG Thanks Angel! Really appreciate it.

I’m now looking at this forum page for some showcase use of dataview: Dataview plugin snippet showcase - #393 by tomhaley
