I have the following table:
|---+-------------+------------+------------|
| | Day | ProjectA | ProjectB |
|---+-------------+------------+------------|
| | 14 | 1@ 00' | 1@ 45' |
| | 15 | 0@ 30' | 3@ 35' |
| | 16 | 0@ 45' | 1@ 00' |
| | 17 | 3@ 10' | 2@ 45' |
| | 18 | 1@ 55' | 0@ 35' |
| | 19 | 5@ 25' | 7@ 25' |
| | 20 | 3@ 30' | 1@ 00' |
|---+-------------+------------+------------|
| # | Total hours | 16@ 15' 0" | 18@ 5' 0" |
| ^ | | totalTime1 | totalTime2 |
|---+-------------+------------+------------|
#+TBLFM: $totalTime1=vsum(@-II..@-I); f2 :: $totalTime2=vsum(@-II..@-I); f2
The string '0 @ 30' says that there were 0 hours and 30 minutes.
I have several problems here.
First of all I would like to see 16.25 instead of 16@ 15' 0". Is this
possible?
Secondly I have to define the formula for each project. In this case
there are only two, but when there are fifteen then it becomes a pain.
Is there a way to use just one formula?
When displaying with minutes instead of as a floating point number, is
it possible to display it without seconds? Instead of 16@ 15' 0" I would
like to get 16@ 15'.

Calc's "deg" function does this.
use deg(vsum(...)) in the formulas

That works. Thanks. I should learn calc. ;-}
I now have (I already made changes):
|---+-------------+--------------+--------------|
| # | Total hours | 14.00 | 6.00 |
| ^ | | totalTime1 | totalTime2 |
| | Hourly rate | 40 | 50 |
| ^ | | hourRate1 | hourRate2 |
| # | To declare | 560.00 | 300.00 |
| ^ | | declaration1 | declaration2 |
|---+-------------+--------------+--------------|
#+TBLFM: $totalTime1=deg(vsum(@-II..@-I)); f2 :: $totalTime2=deg(vsum(@-II..@-I)); f2 :: $declaration1=$totalTime1*$hourRate1; f2 :: $declaration2=$totalTime2*$hourRate2; f2
This works. One strange thing (not important I think, but I mention
it), I needed to recalculate twice. The first time the 'Total hours'
was displayed correctly, only the second time 'To declare' was
displayed correctly.
I have two formula's that I have to write for every column, I still
would like to now if there is a way to only write them once.
I am not very happy with the long line of formula's. Especially when I
have to repeat formula's. Would something like this be possible?
#+TBLFM: $totalTime1=deg(vsum(@-II..@-I)); f2 ::
$totalTime2=deg(vsum(@-II..@-I)); f2 ::
$declaration1=$totalTime1*$hourRate1; f2 ::
$declaration2=$totalTime2*$hourRate2; f2
This would at least make updating repeating formula's easier and
easier to check.

No, I'm afraid not.

The formula editor ( C-c ' ) will display the formulas one per line and
make duplicating and changing them much easier.

I always use the formula editor even when I have a single formula. It will
even highlight in the cells in the table related to the construct where the
cursor is in (the region pointed by @-II..@-I, for instance). It also makes
easy to change a cell reference using shift+arrows.
To make it short, it is better to understand the single line below the
table with all formulas as the place where org stores the formulas, and not
the place where you should manually edit them.

I have to live with it then.

Works like a charm. Not optimal (I need to enter the formula editor to
check), but good enough.
