Tag table entries?

Tag table entries?

[Johan Ekh]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 287 bytes --]

Hi all,
I wonder if it is possible to tag rows in a table?

For example, if  I have a table of expenses, i.e. columns with "date",
"note" and "sum",
and then want to group the entries into different categories such as
"groceries", "car" etc.

Can I do this someway?

Best regards,
Johan

Hi Johan,

You can't attach metadata such as tags to table rows. Two things come to
mind.

1. If you just want the table for visual purposes (as opposed for doing
   calculations with it), then you could use column-view. I.e. you would
   have a subtree for groceries and a subtree for car; categories such
   as date, note and sum would be stored in properties.

http://orgmode.org/manual/Column-view.html#Column-view

Visibility cycling works in column view so you can group and ungroup the rows.

[is there anyway of creating a normal Org table from a column view
"table"?]

2. org-babel: If you're happy with a suitable supported language, then
   store the category label in a column and you can transform the master
   table however you want. R would be a convenient language for working
   with a table like this.

Thanks Dan!
My idea was to go through a long imported table and quickly categorize the
different rows
into a number of predefined categories, without having to actually type the
category for
each row. Can I do that?

If babel is a way, I think I would prefer to use python as I am familiar
with it. But I have not used
it with babel, is that possible?

Best regards,
Johan

Re: Tag table entries?

[Darlan Cavalcante Moreira]

For that I just use separate tables. I use a headline for each month, say
"May 2010" and subheadings for each category (groceries, bills, transport,
etc.) with a corresponding table in each one. Each table calculates the
total for that category and has a unique name, say "BillsMay2010".

All of the totals for each table are concatenated in a table
"ExpensesMay2010" (also in a subheadings of the month headline) that has
one line for each category and calculates the total. There is even gnuplot
code with org-babel to plot the amount spent in each category from the
"ExpensesMay2010" table.

Of course there is a snippet (with yasnippet) for all of this and in the
first day of the month I call the snippet and only provide the month name
and the year (both used to make the name of each table unique). This
snippet makes easy creating all the infrastructure for each month and org
speedkeys makes easy navigating the categories to quickly add
something.

This works very well and I only need to be careful and update each table
(C-u C-u C-c *) when I make some change.

That sounds very good! This is the functionality I am looking for!
Would you like to share your yasnippet and any other settings that you have
worked out?
It would help me alot!

Thanks!

The snippet is attached.

In my case I call the snippet inside a 2-level heading (also using odd
number of start for each level) and you will probably want to modify the
snippet to your needs.

The snippet only asks the name of the current month, the current year and
the name of the last month. I suppose this could be completely automatic if
you know how to get this information with lisp.

        Expenses with Credit Card will not be counted in this month
        expenses but in the next one.

        However, the total expenses table also has "Total + Credit" that
        included the expenses with the credit card for the current month.

        Since international expenses with the credit card are in dollar I
        use the constant *DolarParaReal* to convert from dollar to
        Brazilian Reais in order to have the total spent with credit
        card. I update this constant each month when I know the correct
        value used by the bank for the month.
