first day of month not included in goal

9510654

I have set up 2 goals - one for the year 2020 with start January 1 2020 and a monthly goal for January with start January 1 2020. Jan 1st I ran 10K and January 2nd I ran 9K but only the second run was counted towards the goal. Why is Jan 1st not included?

    I don't know, but you can try fixing it by editing the goal, setting the beginning to 2019/12/31. Perhaps it starts counting at midnight, or uses UTC instead of the local time, so shifting the date a day in advance could help

    I also have the same problem, and for monthly goal, I can only set it to start from the 1st day of the month. Anyone know how to fix this?

    I just have tested it. The goal starts at midnight GMT, not at the midnight of you local time, which makes sense, because you may be travelling across different time zones during the period, so there has to be a globally valid time for all activities. I am GMT+1, so when I create a Goal starting on 01/01/2020, and have an Activity starting after 1:00 AM, it is accounted for. If it starts between midnight and 1:00 AM, it is ignored. If your time zone is more importantly shifted from the GMT, you have two easy solutions how to solve it:

    1. Either, as I wrote previously, start your Goal on the previous day. You can do it for monthly goals as well, it is not true that you can set the start day on the 1st day of the month only. I just tested it (with GC web) - there is no problem setting any starting date for a monthly goal.

    2. Or edit the time of the non-accounted-for activity done on the 1st so, that it becomes accounted. For example, if the original time was 8:15 AM, and your time shift is 10 hours from GMT, change it to 10:15 AM or more. You can edit the activity time on its details screen, after clicking the pencil icon top right.

    1. When I shift the goal to 31.12.2019 I d do get an error saying monthly goal MUST start on the first of the month. I don't know how you managed to get past that - I can't.

    2. I resolved it by moving the time of my run 12 hours (from 5 am to 5 pm) - I am in Singapore which is GMT+8 . Funny thing though, I had a monthly goal running from 01.12.2019 and that did NOT include my Jan 1st run at 5 am. I suspect timezone is applied to the end date but not the start date of a database query.
