For those who wanted to copy the 4:08 part <3

slice("❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤", 0, floor(prop("Percentage Complete") * 10)) + slice("♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡", 0, 10 - floor(prop("Percentage Complete") * 10)) + " " + format(prop("Percentage Complete") * 100) + "%"

The second formula needs changing:

Percentage Complete
round(prop("Actual") / prop("Goal") * 100) / 100

Progress Bar
substring("❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤", 0, floor(prop("Percentage Complete") * 10)) + substring("♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡", 0, 10 - floor(prop("Percentage Complete") * 10)) + " " + format(prop("Percentage Complete") * 100) + "%"

I changed the formulation on Window 11 and it work!

Percentage: round(prop("Actual")) / prop("Goal") * 100 / 100
Progress: substring("", 0, floor(prop("Percentage Complete") * 10)) + substring("♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡", 0, 10 - floor(prop("Percentage Complete") * 10)) + " " + format(prop("Percentage Complete") * 100) + "%"

the progress bar using stars:
REPEAT("★", ROUND(prop("Percentage") / 10)) & REPEAT("☆", 10 - ROUND(prop("Percentage") / 10))

[armyfantasymoa]

I'm using this formula today and it works.

substring("❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤", 0, round(10*prop("Percentages Complete"))) + substring("♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡", round(10 * prop("Percentages Complete"))) + " " + 100*prop("Percentages Complete") +"%"

[amyewida]

great tutorial, i'm trying to track my progress in books, movies and video games but i wanted something other than goodreads or letterboxd. thanks for posting!

[samhli]

love this tutorial! i think the hardest part is the "putting it all together" section where you figure out how to best represent all of the databases/structures you just created. do you have any metrics/measurements you tend to adhere to when creating the dashboard (ie spacing, specific database views, etc)

[MinyetteB]

Great video, I really wanted to follow along but it was quick.

[EvacurricularActivities]

3:56 what is the new formula, the one on the screen does not work, error - prop is not defined. [6, 10] prop is not defined. [24.28]

[novmommy]

Love this and can't wait to start these for both me and my daughter for homeschooling... I wonder though, do you happen to know how to create a tracker for movies & tv series? All the ones I see are a little too technical for me to understand. I'm looking for how to keep track of the Season & Episode I'm on and maybe a season tracker for how many episodes left? I may not be making sense or over thinking it and making it much harder than it should be. LOL
Anyway, thanks for this tutorial!! :)
