I'm trying to create a set of files that describe project data and have a
column view block in a summary file, but the columnview is only picking up
one project, and I need it to pick up all.
P1.org and P2.org are two sample project files, and MasterP.org is the
summary file.
P1.org:
#+COLUMNS: %15PROJ(Project) %35ITEM(Task) %Start %End %8Effort{+} %TODO
* Tasks
:PROPERTIES:
:ID: simple
:PROJ: P1
:END:
** TODO Phase 1 :testbed:
:PROPERTIES:
:End: [2014-03-19 Wed]
:Start: [2014-03-11 Tue]
:END:
** TODO Phase 2 :testbed:
:PROPERTIES:
:Start: [2014-03-20 Tue]
:Effort: 32h
:End: [2014-04-01 Tue]
:END:
** TODO Phase 3 :testbed:
:PROPERTIES:
:Start: [2014-04-02 Fri]
:Effort: 20h
:End: [2014-04-11 Fri]
:END:
P2.org:
#+COLUMNS: %15PROJ(Project) %35ITEM(Task) %Start %End %8Effort{+} %TODO
* Tasks
:PROPERTIES:
:ID: simple
:PROJ: P2
:END:
** TODO Phase A :testbed:
:PROPERTIES:
:Start: [2014-03-24 Mon]
:Effort: 10h
:End: [2014-03-24 Mon]
:END:
** TODO Phase B :testbed:
:PROPERTIES:
:Start: [2014-04-23 Wed]
:Effort: 10h
:End: [2014-04-23 Wed]
:END:
** TODO Phase C :testbed:
:PROPERTIES:
:Start: [2014-05-13 Tue]
:Effort: 10h
:End: [2014-05-13 Tue]
:END:
MasterP.org:
When I execute MasterP.org with C-c C-c, I get:
#+COLUMNS: %15PROJ(Project) %35ITEM(Task) %Start %End %8Effort{+} %TODO
* Table
#+BEGIN: columnview :hlines 1 :id "simple"
| Project | Task | Start | End
| Effort | TODO |
|---------+----------------------+------------------+------------------+--------+------|
| P2 | * Tasks | |
| 30.0 | |
| | ** Phase A :testbed: | [2014-03-24 Mon] | [2014-03-24 Mon]
| 10h | TODO |
| | ** Phase B :testbed: | [2014-04-23 Wed] | [2014-04-23 Wed]
| 10h | TODO |
| | ** Phase C :testbed: | [2014-05-13 Tue] | [2014-05-13 Tue]
| 10h | TODO |
#+END:
I want to see the data for P1, too, with the total effort at least being
summed by project. If I could also get the total effort across projects, so
much the better!
What do I need to change?
I discovered it works if I have unique :id entries for P1.org and P2.org
and then create two tables in MasterP.org. While that could work, it does
lead to two refinements to the question: how can I merge the two tables,
and is there a way to do it without distinct :id entries?
Thanks,
Bill
