Being yet another planner switcher, I'm used to using planner-report-
generate to assist me with writing a monthly activity report.  I don't
need fine-grained time tracking, or even most of what planner-report-
generate does--it would be ideal to get just a list of TODOs that were
closed between two dates and then I'll look at it while I type a few
sentences in an email buffer.

Is there already an easy way to "get a list" (I guess that a sparse
tree would be most convenient for me) of TODOs marked as closed within
some date range?

If not, any words of advice before I dive in?

This isn't /exactly/ what you want, but I use org's clocktable
feature (see the progress logging node in the info documentation) for
my monthly reports.  That's based on when you /worked on/ something,
rather than when you /closed/ it, though.

You can use org-occur to create a tree with matches of CLOSED time 
stamps.
And you can use the callback argument of org-occur to verify if a
match is in a given time interval.  Something like this:

(defun org-closed-in-range ()
   "Sparse treee of items closed in a certain time range."
   (interactive)
   ;; Get the time interval from the user.
   (let* ((time1 (time-to-seconds
                  (org-read-date nil 'to-time nil "Starting date: ")))
          (time2 (time-to-seconds
                  (org-read-date nil 'to-time nil "End date:")))
          ;; callbakc function
          (callback (lambda ()
                      (let ((time
                             (time-to-seconds
                              (apply 'encode-time
                                     (org-parse-time-string
                                      (match-string 1))))))
                        ;; check if time in interval
                        (and (>= time time1) (<= time time2))))))
     ;; make tree, check each match with the callback
     (org-occur "CLOSED: +\\[\\(.*?\\)\\]" nil callback)))

This is just right.  Thanks!

Hi all, apologies for resurrecting an older thread, but I was searching
for this very capability and found this post.

I have been trying to figure this one out myself. Thank goodness for
list archives!

Ok, I tried this and I'm not sure what it did, if anything. I get the
mini-buffer saying, 'Specified time is not representable' I've tried
various date range possibilities, and can't get it to work.

I did also change the '(org-occur "CLOSED: +\\[\\(.*?\\)\\]" nil
callback)))' to be instead '(org-occur "DONE +\\[\\(.*?\\)\\]" nil
callback)))' due to the way my org seems to represent finished items:

** DONE fix the apt puppet module to automatically add apt-keys, publish that new repository and deploy
   SCHEDULED: <2009-03-16 Mon>
   - State "DONE"       [2009-03-16 Mon 14:49] \\
     made this a lot nicer
   CLOCK: [2009-03-16 Mon 14:21]--[2009-03-16 Mon 14:21] =>  0:00
   [2009-03-16 Mon]

As far as I can tell, I did not setup this format. I tried to change the
(org-occur "CLOSED... to be "DONE..." instead, but no change here
either.

Thanks for any help!

Hi folks,

I have an agenda spread across multiple files, and I would like to see a 
brief report of my worktime per day for one month. Ideally such a report 
would have exactly 28 .. 31 rows with two columns (the date and the 
number of hours and minutes).

I have created a clocktable with stepping 1 day and depth 0, which is 
close, but it still gives me for every day a summary for every file 
separately.

Anybody done a report like I would like to have before?


Thanks and cheers


Norbert
