Hi,
I am trying to understand how to set hours:minutes values in tables conditionally.
Just setting hours directly works:
| 40:03:00 |
| 40:03:00 |
| 40:03:00 |
#+TBLFM: $1=40:03;T
But when doing that conditionally (first row different from the others),
I do not understand the behavior:
This seemed to work:
| 19:55:00 |
| 40:03:00 |
| 40:03:00 |
#+TBLFM: $1=if(@# <= 1, 19:55, 40:03);T
But after adjusting the minutes, this happens:
| 19:55:00 |
| 00:00:40 |
| 00:00:40 |
#+TBLFM: $1=if(@# <= 1, 19:55, 40:01);T
What would be the correct way to do this?
PS: I have found that the same happens when I add parentheses:
| 40:03:00 |
| 40:03:00 |
| 40:03:00 |
#+TBLFM: $1=(40:03);T
| 00:00:40 |
| 00:00:40 |
| 00:00:40 |
#+TBLFM: $1=(40:01);T
PPS: I came across this when trying to understand the formulas here

Thanks
Chris

It seems that org tries to convert times back and forth when evaluating
formulas; but, in your case, it cannot convert them because it doesn't
spot them inside your formula.
You could switch to the "Lisp" syntax (as opposed to the "Calc" syntax),
and, write the conversion manually:
| 19:55:00 |
| 40:01:00 |
| 40:01:00 |
#+TBLFM: $1='(org-table-time-string-to-seconds (if (<= @# 1) "19:55" "40:01"));T
Note that, for Calc, 'X:Y' means the fraction 'X/Y' of the two
integers X and Y:
40:01 = 40/1 = 40
40:02 = 40/2 = 20
40:03 = 40/3
40:04 = 40/4 = 10

awesome, thank out. This works as expected with the little addendum that
@# in Calc seems to ignore the header line (not present in this
example), but the Lispy syntax doesn't. So the 1 in the "if" becomes a 2.

This also explains why 40:00 errors out :)
Thanks a lot
Chris
