Hi Jurgen,
I was mistaken when I claimed that formulas can be
added to the clocktable - this was so far not possible.
However, the feature you request seems very useful to me, so
I have added just that capability. You need to get the latest
git version for this to work.
You have now two possibilities:
1. You can insert a TBLFM formula for an existing clock report.
This formula will survive updates and will be evaluated
after the new table has been created.
2. You can specify formulas with the new :formula parameter
in clock tables.
As a special case shortcut for (2), you can write
#+BEGIN: clocktable :scope subtree :link t :formula %
#+END: clocktable
which will automatically construct and insert the correct formula
to add an extra column where the time percentages are listed.
Hope this helps, thanks or the great idea.
- Carsten
