Hi all,
I've come into the need to track the time I'm working on a
particular project, which is great with Org, but I also need to
report the tracked time on a day-to-day basis. This seems somewhat
less straightforward to do. I realize I can generate a report
limited to today by specifying `:block today`, but that only gives
me the time clocked today. What do I do when I want to get a
day-to-day overview of the time spent on a project? Do I need to
maintain another table by hand, in which I copy the time
calculated by `org-clock-report` at the end of each day? Or is
there a better method?
BTW, just looking at the LOGBOOK drawer doesn't work, because I
may clock in and out of a project several times a day.
Thanks for any hints and suggestions!

Joost,
I keep a time stamped journal of all of my projects. Every time I
switch tasks I add in an inactive timestamp, and I make sure each TODO
item is timestamped on close.
Then I can open the agenda for just that file, enter logbook mode, and
enable inactive timestamps. This gives me a great detailed timeline as
to what occurred and when.
It does not tally hours automatically, but I have previously used it
to justify hours in my consulting practice.

Not the drawer, logbook mode. "l" in the agenda.

Hi Joost,
I do reports on a day-to-day basis using clocktables:
#+BEGIN: clocktable :maxlevel 4 :block 2016-11 :scope ("./Projekt01.org") :link t :step day :stepskip0
#+END:
Hope this helps.
Regards, Oliver

Yes, that's exactly what I was looking for, thanks!
