Hi all,

I am trying to use orgmode to bill for time.  My idea is to add a column
that multiplies the elapsed time column by an hourly rate.
Unfortunately, the elapsed time is interpreted (I believe) as a fraction
in calc, so, for example, a time of 0:58 becomes a zero.

Is there a way to make the elapsed time get formatted as a decimal, or a
function to convert it to a decimal, so I can multiply the time by a
decimal and get teh right answer.

Here is what I'm getting now, using 50 as a multiplier:

I also use clock tables in this way and would be very interested in such a feature.

what about using a minute rate?

(/ 50 60.0) 0.83 so:

| Argo Status Hearing <2011-06-28 Tue 09:00> |   |   | 1:09 |  57.27 |
| Letter of Discovery Deficiencies           |   |   | 2:48 | 139.44 |

Actually, Daniel you don't have to *think*, you've to demonstrate 
that it works or that it doesn't /tertium non datur/.

Not with GNU/Emacs 23.3 calc.

If you bill 50 per 1 hour, you bill

(/ 50 60.0 ) is 0.83 per minute.

If you bill 1 hour + 9 minutes it is 69 minutes

(* 0.83 69) 57.269999999999996  = 57.27

isn't it ?

And the fifth column in my table (see below) does compute 57.27 or not?

   You may say: "Ah but this is only one example, you've been lucky!"

 I reply, what about the second line?

(* (+ 120 48) 0.83) = 139.44

Calc is *really* smart, isn't it?

cheers,
Giovanni

Or if you want to preserve your rounding until the last point in your
calculations:

| Test 1 |   |   | 1:15 |  62.50 |  76 |
| Test 2 |   |   | 2:48 | 140.00 | 169 |
#+TBLFM: $5=$4*(50/60.0);Df2::$6=$4+1

Since 50/60 is 0.8333... by rounding it prematurely you lose some of the
precision in your billing.
Column 6 is just there to confirm for me what org does when you add or
multiply times. It counts the minutes as units and properly adjusts the
hours to be 60*# of hours.

So you just have to account for that when billing

yes, you're right.

It is.

Not.  At least when I do it.  Here's what I get after recalcing your example.

| Argo Status Hearing <2011-06-28 Tue 09:00> |   |   | 1:09 | 0.09 |
| Letter of Discovery Deficiencies           |   |   | 2:48 | 0.03 |
#+TBLFM: $5=$4*0.83;Df2

Maybe I have a different mode setting or something.  You seem to have
the $4, or 1:09, being interpreted as 69, but I have it being
interpreted as a calc fraction, i.e., 1/9 = 0.11111111.  So 0.83 *
0.111111 gives me 0.9259, which rounds to 0.9.

I would.

Undoubtedly.  Apart from Org, my favorite features of Emacs.  I'm
waiting for vi to duplicate that functionality.

Thanks for taking the time to look at this.

Hi,

Which version of Org are you using?

7.6 (archive from org) with very few org-related customizations
(Emacs-Starter-Kit along with one or two small changes) behaved properly.

I took your original table and updated the formulas and the values behaved
as whole numbers rather than fractions

Bastien,

Maybe I spoke too soon.  When I try my original example with an 'f2'
format after updating to the latest git, I get the following, so I
cannot compute an invoice anymore.  That, to me, is the most important
application.

Has the 'T' format specifier messed up the interpretation of column 4 as
a number of minutes for calulation purposes?

Regards,

Hi Daniel,

The 'T' format does this: 

1. it converts HH:MM:SS strings to integers (number of seconds) 
2. it applies the formulas to these integers
3. it formats the output as HH:MM:SS

So I guess you cannot combine it with "f2" -- let me know if 
combining 'T' and 'f2' is the real problem at hand.

Thanks!

Bastien, I did not use the T specifier at all.  Here is the table
again.  I use only the f2 specifier and I get the same result with no
specifier.  It looks like you are converting to H:M:S form (actually,
H:M or M:S form, I can't tell which) even without any format specifier.  

I think that without the T format specifier, org is taking the time
durations to be fractions again.  If you look at the fourth line of the
body of my table below, the 5:40, when multiplied by 50 yields 25:4.
This only makes sense if these numbers are treated as fractions.  This
was the behaviour that prompted my original question.  It looked like it
was fixed when I went from org-version 7.5 to 7.6, but it looks like its
back again in the latest git pull.

Why?  

'T' is needed for duration computation -- unless you use the 
specific calc format for time and date manipulation.

I am trying to take a duration output by CLOCKTABLE and multiply it by
dollars-per-hour (or dollars-per-second, either way) and get an answer
in units of dollars.

Can you suggest a way this can be done?  I've tried several variations
as set out im my prior posts with no luck.  The manual uses the example
of using T to add two durations to get a duration.  A function like
seconds() to convert the duration to an integer would do the trick.
Perhaps I'm missing something obvious.

Thanks for following this thread.

Regards,

Dan

I see, thanks for the explanation.

Since latest git commit, you can now use ;t instead of ;T as a flag for
durations computations.  ;t will output results according to the new
variable `org-table-duration-custom-format', which you can check.

See this example:

#+begin_src org
  |  Task 1 |   Task 2 |    Total |
  |---------+----------+----------|
  |    2:12 |     1:47 | 03:59:00 |
  | 3:02:20 | -2:07:00 |     0.92 |
  #+TBLFM: @2$3=$1+$2;T::@3$3=$1+$2;t
#+end_src

.92 is a fraction of hours, because `org-table-duration-custom-format'
is set to 'hours.

HTH,

Ryan,

Thanks for chiming in.  I'm still in the dark on this.  I'm hoping a
guru will ride to the rescue.

Org is without question the best organizational tool I've ever used, and
to use it for billing would be a real boon to me, but I'm stuck on this
issue at the moment.

Regards,

Dan

Bastien,

Just re-gitted (git pull && make clean && make) and applied your new 't'
format specifier, and ... joy!  Many thanks for following up on this.  I
will now retire my old Windows-based invoicing system in favor of org.

Great work.

Regards,

Dan
