Eric gave you a way that you asked (using Org table functionality), but
another way could be to simply use a bunch of insert statements.  Or
rather, 1-2 to insert the header, followed by a loop with a starting
time, interval, etc.

Two advantages to that approach:

1. You could specify start, end time and resolution (spacing) as
arguments (might not be needed).

2. You would not need a 'duration' column.

3. No need for formula (which leaves more room for your own, should you
need it).

Just another way to do the same thing.

Cheers,
