Re: [O] Date-centric Clocktable
Hi Bernt, As Carsten mentioned, the agenda view with logging enabled (and appropriate tag filters) may get you closer to what you are looking for. I use a combination of that and C-u R in the daily / weekly agenda to get a summary of clock detail lines. I am impressed with the possibilities of Org-agenda. Although I have used it extensively I know only a fraction of the possibilities, it seems. It only revels total time, it seems, which unfortunately isn't enough cf. my other post.

The people I am doing some work for now prefer it that way for unknown
reasons.
This is an example
| date | Headline| total |
|+-+---|
| [2011-08-19 Fri 00:28]--[2011-08-19 Fri 00:51] | Writing mails | 0:23 |

Why don't you just use a simple (perl/python/...) script to collect your
data? Here's a quick hack in perl:
---8--- cut here ---
#! /usr/bin/perl -n
use strict;
use warnings;
our $headline;
BEGIN {
print | date | Headline|
total |\n;
print
|+-+---|\n;
}
# save current headline
$headline = $1 if (m/^\s*\*+\s+(.+)/);
# dump clock line
if (m/^\s*CLOCK:\s+(.+?)\s+=\s+(.+)/) {
print | $1 | $headline | $2 |\n;
}
--- cut here ---8---
Run the script as
$ perl -n collect-timestamps.pl /path/to/org/*.org clocktable.txt
You must tweak the formatting and make it more robust, but you get the
idea. If you prefer python, there are some python libraries listed at
http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tools/index.html.

Hi Olaf, Why don't you just use a simple (perl/python/...) script to collect your data? Here's a quick hack in perl: That was my plan if I was not able to do from within Org. To me it would be a lot faster than hacking something together in emacs-lisp, unfortunately. Thanks for the link to Pythonic flavors. –Rasmus -- Sent from my Emacs
