I have a question regarding a custom agenda report. I've found the
variable org-agenda-span to set the number of days shown. But, I
can't seem to some up with a way to make it start in the past.
IE I want to see all agenda items for today and the previous 6 days.
Also, can someone point me at a good tutorial for customized agendas
including all option variables & what they do? I can't seem to put my
fingers on one.
Thanks!
Subhan

Hi Subhan.
- Would the following serve you?
((org-agenda-list nil (- (org-today) 7) 6) ; 6 day agenda starting 6 days ago
I tried (and failed) to find how to define a custom command in the agenda to
this purpose, but the last function fulfilled my wish. An unexpected twist
(which you might like) is that (org-agenda-list nil (- (org-today) 7) 7) gives a
7 day agenda starting Monday of last week, rather than 7 days ago.
I hope it helps!
Many thanks to all people involved in org-mode for their good work and patience
with the "rowdy" users!

Subhan: here is a fonction you can use to generate your weekly report:
#+BEGIN_SRC lisp
(defun my/weekly-report nil
"Generate the agenda list for last 8 days with report mode on"
(org-agenda-list nil (- (org-today) 8) 8) ; 8 day agenda starting 8 days ago
(setq org-agenda-clockreport-mode nil)
(org-agenda-clockreport-mode)
)
#+END_SRC
Samuel: I love your solution (much more elegant than mine!), but even with
emacs -q I get the error
#+BEGIN_SRC
org-agenda-list: Wrong type argument: number-or-marker-p, my/org-last-week
#+END_SRC
I am using GNU Emacs 24.3.50.1 and Org-mode version 7.9.3d.

Actually I think the behavior of agendas is somewhat broken in this
regard - a 6 day span shows 6 days, an 8 day span shows 8 days, a 7
day span shows a weekly agenda starting on Monday. Silently
redefining the meaning of a variable like this depending on it's value
is pretty horrible.
But thanks to everybody for the tips, I think I can work out what I
want from here!

I think that's wrong: there is no support afaik for this variable to have
a function value. Should that be
(org-agenda-start-day (my/org-last-week))
perhaps?

Hum. You're right. I forgot I also patched the org-agenda.el code for
this to work.

That works well indeed. And does not need any patch.
Thanks for the correction.

You can combine `org-agenda-span' and `org-agenda-start-day',
which interprets negative values correctly:
'(org-agenda-custom-commands (quote (("w" "Weekly Logs" agenda ""
((org-agenda-span 8)
(org-agenda-start-day -7))))))
And *yes*, we need more documentation and tutorials on this.
Help is welcome!
Best,

I believe you need to pass a string to =org-agenda-start-day=.
(org-agenda-start-day "-7")

For this variable, =org-agenda-start-day=, give a link to the document of the function =org-read-date= would be great. I had to read through the source code to understand it.
