Would it be difficult to have it include the currently clocking task if a clock is active? I clock billable and nonbillable tasks during the day. If I want to stop working at 8 billable hours I currently run the clock report and then find the current active clock entry (last one on the page with 'l' in the agenda) and manually add the time accumulated to the clock report to see when I'm done for the day. This is a bit tedious and error prone. I'm thinking that since agenda clock reports are not permanent it wouldn't hurt to include the current clocking item in the agenda report if that is easy to do. I've been digging around in the clock report code in my limited spare time but haven't yet made any useful progress on this task. Any pointers on where to make this modification would be appreciated. Hi Bernt, I think the right place would be `org-clock-sum'. Right now, this looks only for complete clock lines. You could modify the regexp to check for incomplete lines (first time stamp only) and then check if the org-clock-marker points to the current line. If yes, you could use the current time as the end time and proceed. Send me a patch if you get this to work, with a customization variable to turn this off.

I found the logic that uses the regexp for parsing the times and summing them in reverse up to the headline in org-clock-sum. I haven't modified the regexp yet but was planning something similar to what you describe above. - org-clock-sum - Runs through headings in reverse order - counts clock entries bottom up to headline - adds a text property to the headline with total time - need to find out if current heading is clocking - add entry for open clock time with closing time to get correct total - regexp needs to match open clock entries - for open clock entry matches set time to zero - reset time if this is the current clocking entry I'll post the patch whenever it gets done.
