Reports -> steps = km/year

Hallo everybody,

got a strange question, due to a Challenge  with my friend, ich need to know how many KM,

I had in the last year and this year, no matter what kind of activity. (Base: steps)

Would be great if somebody could advise how to setup such kind of a report without exporting datas......

Thanks to everybody in advance who supports this request.

Markus

  • Would be great if somebody could advise how to setup such kind of a report without exporting datas......

    You could multiply the number of steps for given period by your average stride length.

  • .. and if your friend has a Garmin Connect account too, the easiest way would be creating a Group for both of you, and setting up a Step Group Challenge for the required period. One for each year, or a single challenge for both years if you prefer. You would then have the results (step counts) directly in the Group Challenge.

  • @trux, great idea for a  workaround, and cool idea with the Group. Unfortunately my friend is not "Garmin" related......

    So i still need a solution "out of the box" or need to chance the friend/challenge ;-)

    Looking forward for additional ideas/solutions,....

    Thx

  • Then create the Yearly Group Challenge just for yourself (you can create one retrospectively too). You'll see the Steps count in the Challenge overview, and only need to multiply it by your average stride length. Garmin does nothing else than that anyway too.

    It is also not clear to me whether you want to count all steps, or only distance done in foot activities. If so, then use the Porgress Summary Report for all respective activity types, and use the grouping by year. The report shows the total distance.

  • Hi,

    was not able to setup a challenge for myself as recommended.

    GC requested to ad a "friend". How can ist avoid this ?

    I'm looking/seeking for a report where i can see (based on "all" steps),

    how long the total distance was/is in KM.

    Thanks

  • GC requested to ad a "friend". How can ist avoid this ?

    Create a dummy account, and add it to the group.

    I'm looking/seeking for a report where i can see (based on "all" steps),

    how long the total distance was/is in KM.

    Reread my previous replies, I described how you can do it, there.

  • Thx for your reply.

    Progress summary report not usable - "steps" are listed as an activity.

    Other than that, it would work,

    I attached a picture/screenshot, where you can see steps and km. Looking for an yearly report with  those data/figures.

  • I can just repeat what I already wrote - create a Group Step Challenge for yourself, and it will report you the number of steps you did in the date range you selected for the Challenge (it can be a calendar year, or whatever date range you wish). Then multiply the number of steps by your average stride length and you have the distance done by feet in given period.

  • Hi trux, appreciate your follow up. Still missing a solution as descriped.

    Even the workaround is not functional:

    Start date in history is NOT possible to select

    Date range is maximum 4 weeks in the future and NOT a year range

    I am sure, i went now through all options i the group callenge setting,

    just in case i missed an anything, just let me know. 

    Well coming back to the question, why i can not select "all taken steps" in the progress report generator.

    That should do the "trick".

    Thx again and kindest regards

  • You can create a yearly Group Step Challenge easily, by setting the starting date to 2021/01/01 and the ending date to 2021/12/31:

    And if you want to include also the steps of the past year, then you can even set the starting date to 2020/01/01
