So I wrote some Elisp code: (defun org-time-string-to-seconds (s) "Convert a string HH:MM:SS to a number of seconds. Omitted third element will be interpreted as MM:SS with missing hours." ;; test with: ;; (message (concat "result is: " (number-to-string (org-time-string-to-seconds "57:45:03")))) ;; (message (concat "result is: " (number-to-string (org-time-string-to-seconds "57:45")))) (cond ((and (stringp s) (string-match "\\([0-9]+\\):\\([0-9]+\\):\\([0-9]+\\)" s)) (let ((hour (string-to-number (match-string 1 s))) (min (string-to-number (match-string 2 s))) (sec (string-to-number (match-string 3 s)))) (+ (* hour 3600) (* min 60) sec))) ((and (stringp s) (string-match "\\([0-9]+\\):\\([0-9]+\\)" s)) (let ((min (string-to-number (match-string 1 s))) (sec (string-to-number (match-string 2 s)))) (+ (* min 60) sec))) ;;((stringp s) (string-to-number s)) ;;(t s) ) ) (defun org-time-string-to-hours (s) "Convert a string HH:MM:SS to hours (float). When only two values given, they will be interpreted as MM:SS with missing hours." ;; test via: ;; (message (concat "result is: " (number-to-string (org-time-string-to-hours "57:45:03")))) ;; (message (concat "result is: " (number-to-string (org-time-string-to-hours "57:45")))) (/ (org-time-string-to-seconds s) 3600.0) ) ... which is working: | time [h:m:s] | value | hours [float] | product | |--------------+---------+---------------+-----------| | 09:15:00 | 2.54321 | 9.25 | 23.524693 | #+TBLFM: $4=$2*$3::@2$3='(org-time-string-to-hours $1) However, when I try to calculate the product in one step, I get an error: | time [h:m:s] | value | product | |--------------+---------+---------| | 09:15:00 | 2.54321 | #ERROR | #+TBLFM: @2$3='(* $2 (org-time-string-to-hours $1)) When I replace "$2" in TBLFM with an integer value, it works. How can I calculate the product in /one/ step?
