Hiding cells in org table

Hiding cells in org table

[J. David Boyd]

I've scanned through the manuals, and see no way to do this, but.

Is there anyway to block out the contents of a result field in a table, until
I export it into an html file?

I'm keeping track of my hours worked, with the dollar amounts paid calculated,
and I don't want anyone wandering by my desk to be able to see how much I am
being paid.

Then I want the amount to show in the .html file that I export to have signed
off on.

Thanks,

Dave

I can't tell you how to hide the contents of a field, but this might 
serve your purpose, assuming that you're paid a regular hourly wage. How 
about setting a constant (see http://orgmode.org/org.html#References and 
search for "Named References")? You can do this in a property in the 
table. Have a column formula that multiplies the number of hours worked 
times the constant.

For day-to-day purposes, you'd define the constant as "0" or "1". When 
it's time to export and print your html file, change the constant to 
your actual hourly rate and recalculate.

Hmm, that's not a bad idea for a work around.  Thanks.
