Hi
consider please
| Entry | Date |
| 100 | <2018-01-07 Sun> |
I first export this to csv
Entry,Date
100,<2018-01-07 Sun>
and then via gnumeric ssconvert or LO unoconv
to xlsx or ods, however the datestamp is not correctly converted to a
datestamp understood my xlsx or unoconv.
Is this a lacking feature or a bug?

None. The export to CSV looks correct and complete. Conversion to CSV
does not pretend converting anything else, in particular timestamps, to
another format.

Ok,
Now how could that be achieved? I seem not the only one missing that a
feature.
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2016-11/msg00398.html
So I googled and
I tried
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/23297422/org-mode-timestamp-format-when-exported
Like
(defun org-export-filter-timestamp-remove-brackets (timestamp backend info)
"removes relevant brackets from a timestamp"
(cond
((org-export-derived-backend-p backend 'latex)
(replace-regexp-in-string "[<>]\\|[][]" "" timestamp))
((org-export-derived-backend-p backend 'orgtbl-to-csv)
(replace-regexp-in-string "[<>]\\|[][]" "" timestamp))
((org-export-derived-backend-p backend 'ascii)
(replace-regexp-in-string "[<>]\\|[][]" "" timestamp))
((org-export-derived-backend-p backend 'html)
(replace-regexp-in-string "&[lg]t;\\|[][]" "" timestamp))))
(eval-after-load 'ox '(add-to-list
'org-export-filter-timestamp-functions
'org-export-filter-timestamp-remove-brackets))
(defun org-ascii-timestamp (timestamp _contents info)
(format-time-string
"%d.%m.%y"
(org-read-date nil t (org-timestamp-translate timestamp))))
(add-to-list 'org-export-filter-timestamp-functions
#'endless/filter-timestamp)
(defun endless/filter-timestamp (trans back _comm)
"Remove <> around time-stamps."
(pcase back
((or `jekyll `html)
(replace-regexp-in-string "&[lg]t;" "" trans))
(`latex
(replace-regexp-in-string "[<>]" "" trans))
(`ascii
(replace-regexp-in-string "[<>]" "" trans))
(`csv
(replace-regexp-in-string "[<>]" "" trans))))
But nothing helped.
Thanks

For example:
(defun my-format-timestamps (cell)
(org-quote-csv-field
(replace-regexp-in-string org-ts-regexp-both "\\1" cell)))
(defun my-tbl-to-csv (table params)
(orgtbl-to-csv table
(org-combine-plists '(:fmt my-format-timestamps) params)))

Thanks, but forgive me my ignorance, how are these functions suppose to
work. They are not interactive, so shall I put them in some hook or
other function? Sorry for this elementary question.

Use `my-tbl-to-csv' as a replacement for `orgtbl-to-csv'. How did you
"export table to CSV" in the first place?

So I called org-table-export
but then the prompt did not allow my to specify my-tbl-to-csv
so I customized (customize-option (quote org-table-export-default-format))
to your new function. But that did not work, again a prompt appeared and
I could not select your new filter

The same way I just described but selecting orgtbl-to-csv

I have no trouble calling M-x org-table-export RET then choosing a file
name and forcing my-tbl-to-csv during prompt.
Otherwise, just evaluate
(org-table-export "/file/name" "my-tbl-to-csv")

Hm I had to copy org-export-table into my addons file and
(let* ((formats '("my-tbl-to-csv" "orgtbl-to-csv" "orgtbl-to-tsv" "orgtbl-to-latex"
"orgtbl-to-html" "orgtbl-to-generic"
"orgtbl-to-texinfo" "orgtbl-to-orgtbl"
"orgtbl-to-unicode"))
It seems that the variable org-table-export-default-format is ignored, a
bug?
> Otherwise, just evaluate

Right, thanks. A last question though.
I have set
org-time-stamp-custom-formats to
(" %d.%m.%y " . " %d.%m.%y %a %H:%M "))
'(org-time-stamp-custom-formats (quote (" %d.%m.%y " . " %d.%m.%y %a %H:%M ")))
And indeed in my org files the timestamp are displayed
for example as <19.12.17>.
However when I use
org-toggle-time-stamp-overlays
they are displayed as <2017-12-19 Tue>
the point is your conversion function will lead to
2017-12-19 Tue
which is much better for my purpose since the < > are deleted.
I am still wondering whether the format I chose via org-time-stamp-custom-formats
could be somehow used, so that the result could be
19.12.17
But maybe this is impossible
Thanks

You don't need to. These are only suggestions, the final format needs
not matching any item in this list.

Not really. See `org-table-export' docstring, last paragraph.

You could try (untested):
(defun my-format-timestamps (cell)
(org-quote-csv-field
(replace-regexp-in-string
org-ts-regexp-both
(lambda (m)
(if (not org-display-custom-times) (substring m 1 -1)
(let ((hours? (string-match-p "[0-9]+:[0-9]+" m)))
(format-time-string (funcall (if hours? #'cdr #'car)
org-time-stamp-custom-formats)
(org-parse-time-string m)))))
cell)))

Thanks, but the outcome of that function for the table
| <2017-12-19 Tue> | 189.09 € |
| <2017-12-21 Wed> | 27.86 € |
< 01.01.70 >,189.09 €
< 01.01.70 >,27.86 €
For all timestamp could expanded into the same string and the < > were
left in place.

Ah well, this was a basis to get you started... This one should work
(defun my-format-timestamps (cell)
(org-quote-csv-field
(replace-regexp-in-string
org-ts-regexp-both
(lambda (m)
(format-time-string
(let ((hours? (string-match-p "[0-9]+:[0-9]+" m)))
(funcall (if hours? #'cdr #'car) org-time-stamp-custom-formats))
(apply #'encod-time (save-match-data (org-parse-time-string m)))))
cell)))

It does, works like charm, thank you so much. I suggest to include that
or a similar function into the org-table-export function!!

There is a small misspelling. Should be encode-time not encod-time.
