Hello,
I have a table in org which stores the date, I'm wondering if there is any
function to calculate the duration? For example:
| Start Date | End Date | Duration |
|------------+------------+----------|
| 2004.08.07 | 2005.07.08 | |
I tried to use B&-C&, but failed ...
Thanks!
Xin

Try the following:
| Start Date | End Date | Duration |
|------------+------------+----------|
| 2004.08.07 | 2005.07.08 | 335 |
#+TBLFM: $3=(date(<$2>)-date(<$1>))
See this thread:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/7741
as well as this post (which is really a followup on the
above):
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/7753
The problem that this last article pointed out was solved
in
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/8001
and Chris Randle's original musings are at
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/6536/
HTH,
Nick

Nice, I added a note in Worg/org-hacks.org.

Thanks for doing that. The only problem is that the TBLFM line has been
stripped, so it's not clear *what* the solution is, unless one follows
the link to the message. Would it work better if I had quoted the above
(e.g. boxquote or the gnus message method)?
Thanks,
Nick

Opps, fixed! Thanks for checking.
