"last timestamp" here refers to the date in previous item o= r last date
class was held?

to the previous timestamp, so= rry.=A0
=A0

The reference to spreadsheet like formula suggests that you want the<= br> date from previous item to be used to calculate the date for current
item and a change in the former should cause an appropriate change on
the latter. org-depend.el (in contrib/lisp) can be used to define the
relationships but I don't know how you could link dates that way.

Thanks for the pointer, but that file remains a littl= e opaque to me! maybe someone will explain itto me.=A0 Thanks much for the = help though.
