How to create a "Review of last weeks tasks"

[dannylevitin]

Hi All,

I tried to see if I could make a page or query focusing on reviewing my week.
I like to review my week Friday or Sunday on the tasks I completed.

How can I create that? (I am using Tasks on a simple page)

Thank you for helping

Hi, it sounds like you are looking to make a query for tasks that are done after beginning of the week and done before the end of the week.
Documentation link with example tasks query blocks and another about how to filter a query based on done date.

Hi @AnnaKornfeldSimpson
Sorry for the late reply, thank you for the feedback.

So I tried your trick with the "done after", which helps me a bit to get an overview.
Here is the simple dataview:

done after 2022-09-26

I am not a heavy coder at all, but is there something I could "add" or was this you had in mind?

Thank you,

Hi @dannylevitin - I don't think I understand your question now. What is it you are asking? Also, I'm unsure how dataview is relevant here?

Hi @claremacrae

I am sorry for not being clear. I thought dataview was the "code block", which I learned is not, sorry for the confusion.

I still need to find out how I add a "code block" that looks past 7 days of completed tasks?
And if it's possible to sort them by date to easy find and view tasks?

I am not that great with these sorting, so I was hoping you might could assist me?

I like to review all my tasks that I have completed every Friday & Sunday (work and private), hence that's why I wanted a way to review everything within the last 7 days.

Thank you, and sorry for being a noob :-)

Hi @dannylevitin

Sure. Thanks for clarifying.

This tasks block shows tasks that have completion dates in the last 7 days.

```tasks
done
done after in 7 days ago
```

This one also groups them by the date on which they were done:

```tasks
done
done after in 7 days ago
group by done date
```

group by date currently only works in the order oldest date to newest... It is not possible to reverse that.

If you wanted to see the earliest completed tasks first, you could do this - but you wouldn't get any grouping:

```tasks
done
done after in 7 days ago
sort by done reverse
```

You can combine it with other sorting too... So for example, if you want to sort also by description, as a second sort key:

```tasks
done
done after in 7 days ago
sort by done reverse
sort by description
```

Hi @claremacrae this is exactly what I was looking for!

The group by date is fantastic, and I don't mind the sorting or order. It looks very clear!
Thank you for helping!

high-five

@claremacrae Is there a reason why you use in 7 days ago and not just 7 days ago?

[claremacrae]

Only that I seem to remember it was a hard-enough-won thing to figure out for some support query that I wrote it up:
https://obsidian-tasks-group.github.io/obsidian-tasks/how-to/find-tasks-for-coming-7-days/

I don't remember what other things I tried along the way...
