To create a table like this, you need to install the Dataview plugin and enable YAML in the note

2 min read

What a simple table that pulls information from YAML looks like: 

```dataview
table date as "Date", Вес as "Weight (kg)"
from "2. Areas/Занятие спортом/Динамика веса"
where Вес and date
sort date asc ```

→ from “2. Areas/Занятие спортом/Динамика веса” — replace with your own path where your notes with YAML are stored → Move the last three apostrophe characters to a new line

🧠 An explanation for those who want to understand this code more deeply:

table date as "Date", Вес as "Weight (kg)"

  • table — we’re creating a table, not a list or a gallery.

  • date as "Date" — we take the value of the date field from YAML and display it in a column called “Date”. This is handy for chronology.

  • Вес as "Weight (kg)" — we take the value of the Вес (Weight) field and display it under the heading “Weight (kg)” — what you enter by hand or automate via a template.

from "2. Areas/Занятие спортом/Динамика веса"

  • This line tells the Dataview plugin where to look for files.

  • In this case, it looks through all the notes inside the "2. Areas/Doing sport/Weight dynamics" folder.

  • This is the logic of the PARA system, where you keep the active areas of your life — in your case, sport and health.

where Вес and date

  • A filter. It excludes notes that don’t have a value for Вес or date.

  • This helps avoid displaying empty or incomplete entries that could break the sorting or visualisation logic.

sort date asc

  • Sorting by date, ascending (from old entries to new ones).

  • This matters if you want to follow your weight progress over time — everything will be displayed like a diary or a chart.
