This isn't /exactly/ what you want, but I use org's clocktable feature (see the progress logging node in the info documentation) for my monthly reports. That's based on when you /worked on/ something, rather than when you /closed/ it, though. -- +-----------------------------------------------------------+ | Jason F.

You can use org-occur to create a tree with matches of CLOSED time stamps. And you can use the callback argument of org-occur to verify if a match is in a given time interval. Something like this: (defun org-closed-in-range () "Sparse treee of items closed in a certain time range." (interactive) ;; Get the time interval from the user. (let* ((time1 (time-to-seconds (org-read-date nil 'to-time nil "Starting date: "))) (time2 (time-to-seconds (org-read-date nil 'to-time nil "End date:"))) ;; callbakc function (callback (lambda () (let ((time (time-to-seconds (apply 'encode-time (org-parse-time-string (match-string 1)))))) ;; check if time in interval (and (>= time time1) (<= time time2)))))) ;; make tree, check each match with the callback (org-occur "CLOSED: +\\[\\(.*?\\)\\]" nil callback))) ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 8+ messages in thread

I get the mini-buffer saying, 'Specified time is not representable' I've tried various date range possibilities, and can't get it to work. I did also change the '(org-occur "CLOSED: +\\[\\(.*?\\)\\]" nil callback)))' to be instead '(org-occur "DONE +\\[\\(.*?\\)\\]" nil callback)))' due to the way my org seems to represent finished items: ** DONE fix the apt puppet module to automatically add apt-keys, publish that new repository and deploy SCHEDULED: <2009-03-16 Mon> - State "DONE" [2009-03-16 Mon 14:49] \\ made this a lot nicer CLOCK: [2009-03-16 Mon 14:21]--[2009-03-16 Mon 14:21] => 0:00 [2009-03-16 Mon] As far as I can tell, I did not setup this format.

It seems that you are specifying the date in an invalid way.

Ok, I restarted emacs and tried again, and now I am not given this mini-buffer message at all. On restart, I found an error in my .emacs, which could have been causing this issue. Chalk that up to confused internal state I guess. However, org-closed-in-range still doesn't seem to be doing anything interesting, as far as I can tell. It folded up my org file, but thats about it. Maybe there is a better way for me to get at what I want, and I just haven't found it yet (I am pretty new at org) and debugging this might not be the best thing to do if there is something better to solve my need. I basically just need to, at the end of the week, produce a report of what I've worked on for that week, both things I finished, but also things that are still in progress. Including the time spent is useful too. I can go into the agenda and hit 'R' to get a time-table at the end of the page, but I need a more granual day-by-day breakdown (Monday: 4hrs, worked on X, Y and completed Z). thanks for your response! micah [-- Attachment #1.2: Digital signature --] [-- Type: application/pgp-signature, Size: 197 bytes --] [-- Attachment #2: Type: text/plain, Size: 204 bytes --] _______________________________________________ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.

You can configure the clock report to be delivered for days by setting the :step day property in org-agenda-clock-report-parameter-plist Or you can switch to a daily agenda (the "d") key and look at the clock report day by day. Pressing "l" or "C-u l" turns on the log info for days, showing you what you did on a particular day, provided that you have recorded that informtation by setting org-log-done, of by clocking time, or by recording state changes. All this is in the manual. HTH - Carsten > > thanks for your response! > micah ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 8+ messages in thread
