Hi @webrunneronSun, could you help people here to help you, by providing more information.

If you tell us the full file names of the examples including path it will save spending time hunting.

Also, especially in the first one ‘does not give expected results’ is not any information for anyone to help.

What actually happened? Can you show your actual code? Can you show screenshots? What metadata values where you expecting to be shown? Can you show us the files that have metadata in, if that relates to the script?

A general recommendation:
The more you can help out volunteers when asking for help, the greater the chance that you will get the information you want.

thanks claremacrae,

i am an obsidian new user knowing a little about it, and keen on learning dataview plugin, I found the dataview_example_vault from https://github.com/s-blu/obsidian_dataview_example_vault and downloaded it to my windows pc.

I opened the vault by obsidian and most of the example markdown pages in that vault works well, i learnt a lot from it.

but I found in the vault folder "20 Dataview Queries", 2 pages:

1. show a meta data value from every day of the week.md, and
2. show all photos of the week in a grid.md

for the first page, I can read the dataview code in editor mode, but I got "Dataview: No results to show for this list query " for all the dataview blocks. I pretty sure the page is going to show some thing with these dataview codes, I got nothing, why this happen?

for the second page, I even can not get any hint for the dataview blocks on this pages . when I switch to preview mode, those dataview cods just disappeared. required css snippet had been actived already. I wonder why.

looking for your helps. thanks a lot.

first page, show a mete data vaule from every day of the week.md:

description: Show a certain value for every day of the week, i.e. a summary of the day, or what nice happened the day
topics:

• weekly aggregation
• custom output
• date based overviews
  fake:
  name: "2022-W4"
  name2: "2022-W5"
  #dv/list #dv/from #dv/where #dv/sort #dv/string #dv/split #dv/dateformat #dv/link #dv/join #dv/table #dv/array #dv/choice #dv/typeof

Show a meta data value for every day of the week
Basic
Usage in weekly note
If you want to use this query in your weekly note and your weekly is named like gggg-[W]ww, i.e. 2022-W4, replace fake.name with file.name

Dataview: No results to show for list query.

Alternative usage
Instead of a summary of the day you could note down something nice that happened that day and remind yourself that the week was quite nice in retrospective!

Variants
Print weekdays instead of file names
Dataview: No results to show for list query.

Print weekdays instead of file names but still link to daily
Dataview: No results to show for list query.

Print multiple values per day
Dataview: No results to show for list query.

Print multiple values per day as table
Day0 note
Dataview: No results to show for table query.

Print multiple values per day as table in unified look
Day0 Notes
Dataview: No results to show for table query.

Maybe these queries are of interest for you, too:

LIST

FLATTEN topics as flattenedTopics
WHERE contains(this.topics, flattenedTopics)
AND file.name != this.file.name

dv.view('00 Meta/dataview_views/usedInAUseCase',  { current: dv.current() })

I noticed that these dataview code shoud be put in a weekly notes with page name 2022-W4, I did that, and I replaced the "fake" with "file" as metioned in the page, but, still nothing happens to my page 2022-W4

Hello @webrunneronSun, thank you alot for this very detailed report! Of course, all the queries inside the example vault should give you results. I fixed the two you found - I changed the example data due to a duplicated key and seems to have broken them while doing so.
You need to use file.day instead of only day, then it should work. Have a look here to find the fixed queries:
