Completion rate for average tasks
Current behavior: i have an Average Tracker which i want to execute at least 3 times/week. I don't care which days of the week i do it, but just the total amount. At the end of the week i unfortunately discover that i did it only 2 times, the other days i skipped it because i couldn't do it. I go into Reports and i see that, amazingly, the Tracker Completion Rate is 100% (2/2) for the week. This is logically wrong.
Expected behavior: the Completion Rate is smart enough to know that for this week i was supposed to do 3 times my task but i did only 2 times, while the rest of the days i skipped them. The completion percentage should be 2/3*100 and should make me feel ashamed of that :)

Thanks for reaching out! I totally understand, and it's great that you want it to accurately reflect how many times you did it throughout the week.
The Average tracker is designed for tracking repeating numbers (e.g. Run 5 miles per week, Budget of $X or less per month, etc) so it is handled a bit differently than the Habit tracker, which is designed for repeating action goals like this one (e.g. Do something 3 times per week).
Creating a habit tracker and backlogging the days you did it should help with this. I'm also planning to do an update to improve the Trends Report soon so that should make it even better.
Best of luck with all your goals & habits!

Dear Kyle, thanks for the answer.
I don't have a working example but i don't think it would anyway work for the example you mentioned regarding run 5 miles per week. If, for example, i run 2.5km on Tuesday and 2.4km on Thursday, and the other days i skipped the activity because i was too busy, then i guess the trend page at the end of the week will still report 100% completion (2/2) even if it shouldn't
