Hi Thorsten, The file entries are as follows and the task/note/project sub-heads generally don't have active/inactive timestamps except when a scheduling/deadline is specified.

If the date-tree is the parent and has a timestamp, then the entries are part of the contents of parent, and you can use this function to map over the parents ,----[ C-h f org-element-map RET ] | org-element-map is a compiled Lisp function in `org-element.el'. | | (org-element-map DATA TYPES FUN &optional INFO FIRST-MATCH | NO-RECURSION WITH-AFFILIATED) | | Map a function on selected elements or objects.
