I use (:link nil :maxlevel 2). This gives me totals for level 1 and level 2 headings only. My level 1 tasks tend to be categories mostly (Appointments, System Maintenance, etc) and level 2 and deeper are the clocked items. > > > 2.

Keeping task headlines short should help. The table can get wide but my lines never wrap. For me truncate-lines is t in the agenda. I have a function key (f7) to toggle truncate lines on and off. > > 3. I don't understand the table format. It is showing hierarchical > information and thus would fit much better in an outline.

Furthermore, the keys to move between cells (left/right > arrow) have other meanings in the agenda view (ex: change days). It's a data table of clocked items only. It's not folded or expandable (like column mode). I export the agenda view (C-x C-w) to a text file if I need a copy for some other application. > > 4.

If you want to compare estimates with clocked amounts for a particular subtree I would use a dynamic clock table instead. You can specify block times to limit the range to specific dates.
