Sum of time-series

Open niel-lambrechts opened this issue 2 years ago • 1 comments

Hi,

I would like to know if it is possible to do a sum of all datasets (and especially for a variable number of datasets) in the frontmatter and use the total in the graph?

Example 1 : track sum of variable amount of numbers:

push-ups: 50/20/100 coffee-servings: 1/1/1/1/1/1

Example 2 - track overall duration:

network-outages: 01:30:25/03:00:05/00:20:01 load-shedding: 00:30/01:00 prayer: 00:15/00:45/00:05/01:15

Apologies if I am misunderstanding any existing functionality, I only find this available as a text summary.

There is currently no way to do arithmetic in obsidian but if we make a python program that manipulated the .md files since they are only text we could do it. Currently you have to calculate it yourself when you input the data.

Hello! Do I understand correctly that for the time format for a data set from different notes like 02:45, 01:45, 02:12, 01:30, the tracker is not yet able to show the maximum (02:30), minimum (01:30) , mean (02:03) and median (01:58)?
