Re: [Orgmode] Re: SOLVED: elisp formulas in column view (without convert

Hi,

sorry for replying so late to this proposal, which is a very
nice idea.  However, specifying lisp formulas in a #+COLUMNS
definition might be a bit tedious.

In the mean time, we have installed (in version 6.27) a patch by
Mikael Fornius.  This patch defines new operators `min', `max',
and `mean', and special versions for time computations `min:',
`max:', and `mean:'.  The patch also captures all operator
definitions into a single variable, which does allow for
user-defined Lisp operators.

I have not tried, but I believe it might now be simple to add new
operators by just adding to the variable `org-columns-compile-map'.
I would be interested to hear if someone has amended this variable
successfully.  If yes, maybe we can expose it better by making
is a defcustom, or by introducing a buffer-local add-on to it.

Hope this helps

- Carsten

Hi,
  I have rewritten the org-columns-compute function to allow elisp
  formulas in column view.
It allows you to specify how to accumulate values from child headers,
  and how to specify the value for the current header, based on other
  columns.

Have since discovered that my new version doesn't work with checkbox
formulas. The solution is to use the old version of org-columns- compute
if the formula is not an elisp formula. Rename the old function to
org-columns-compute-orig, and then use this code for
org-columns-compute:

(defun org-columns-compute (property)
"Sum the values of property PROPERTY hierarchically, for the entire buffer."
 (interactive)
 (let* ((re (concat "^" outline-regexp))
         (lmax 30) ; Does anyone use deeper levels???
         (level 0)
         (ass (assoc property org-columns-current-fmt-compiled))
         ;; parse elisp form if there is one
         (form (nth 3 ass))
         (uselisp (and (> (length form) 1)
                       (or (equal "(" (substring form 0 1))
                           (equal "(" (substring form 1 2)))))
         (form (if uselisp
                   (replace-regexp-in-string
                    "\$\\([^()\"      ]+\\)"
                    "(string-to-number (or (org-entry-get nil \"\\1\") \"0\"))"
                    (nth 3 ass) t)))
         ;; vector to hold running totals for each level
         (lsum (make-vector lmax (if uselisp nil 0)))
