Do you have some example or a pointer or so. I don't know even how to
start.
AFAIK you can read data from a recfile and generate org-mode tables
dynamically in at least two ways:
1) Using ob-rec.el (part of recutils)
#+begin_src rec :data mydata.rec :type milestone :fields ProjectID,Name
Year == 2014
#+end_src
2) Using babel and sh blocks (I found this example in [1])
):
#+begin_src sh :exports results :results output replace :results value table
recsel -t milestone -e "Year == 2014" -p 'ProjectID,Name' milestones.rec
| rec2csv
#+end_src
In both cases evaluating these blocks with C-cC-c must give you a nice
table that then you can export to a report.
The recutils manual is available at the recutils webpage [2].
