I have my projects like,
* Projects
** project 1
** project 2
Is there any way to calculate total number of projects in real-time such that,
* Projects (2)
** project 1
** project 2
This would be really beneficial to see how many running projects I
have at the moment. At the moment, I am counting this manually which
is slow and error-prone.
Thanks.

That's more or less what I proposed in a slightly different context: in the
custom agenda views.
See patch in http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2012-10/msg00014.html.
That said, I would as well consider that as a benefit, to get such info in the
Org buffers as well.
Best regards,
Seb

Hi Chris,

If you don't mind marking your projects as TODO then you can use statistics cookies like this:
* Projects [%] [/]
** TODO project 1
+ foo
** DONE project 2
+ bar
** TODO project 3
+ baz
** TODO project 4
+ qux
And then the projects line should show (4 projects, 3 in progress, 1 completed):
* Projects [25%] [1/4]
There is more on the checkboxes page of the manual here:
http://orgmode.org/manual/Checkboxes.html#Checkboxes
I tend to have todo lists for each projects so I need the recursive property after the projects line like this:
* Projects [%] [/]
:PROPERTIES:
:COOKIE_DATA: recursive
:END:
** TODO project 1
...
Hope this helps
Phil
