Hi,
I am tracking calories using tables like this:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
** [2015-10-01 Thu]
| | food | quantity | kcal/unit | kcal |
|---+----------------------+----------+-----------+-------|
| | | | <r> | |
| # | pepper_bell | 100 | 57/100 | 57.0 |
| # | cheese_Old_Amsterdam | 20 | 429/100 | 85.8 |
| # | mustard | 15 | 105/100 | 15.8 |
| # | egg | 3 | 88 | 264.0 |
| # | chocolate_dark | 10 | 550/100 | 55.0 |
|---+----------------------+----------+-----------+-------|
| # | | | <r> | 477.6 |
#+TBLFM: $4='(diet-lookup-calories $2)::$5=$3*$4;%0.1f::@>$5=vsum(@<<<..@>>)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
(diet-lookup-calories is a function that looks up calories from another
table).
I need help with the following: the tables are organized daily, with
dates in the headings as above. I would like to have a capture process
where
1. if there is no table for today, create it, capture,
2. if there is a table for today, take me there and capture.
Currently I have implemented 1. with the org-capture-template
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
("f" "food diary" entry (file+olp "~/org/calories.org" "diary")
"* %u
| | food | quantity | kcal/unit | kcal |
|---+------+-----------+-------------+-------|
| | | | <r> | |
| # | | | | |
|---+------+-----------+-------------+-------|
| # | | | <r> | |
#+TBLFM: $4='(diet-lookup-calories $2)::$5=$3*$4;%0.1f::@>$5=vsum(@<<<..@>>)
")
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
but it would be great if I had an automated process where tables are
created for the first capture of the day, then appended to after.
Thanks,
Tamas
