Hi Karl,
I use a wrapper around org-map-entries to create custom tables.
Calling the wrapper takes a configuration for each table column. This is quite
nice for other use cases as well, to e.g. convert properties (":TASK_PROGRESS:
75") into graphical representations like harvey balls.
Each column takes the following configuration values:
- colname :: The name of the column
- entry :: the property value of the column
- map :: a lambda function called with the value (optional)
- default :: default value if nothing yields a non nil value (optional)
(defun neuhalje/org-generate-table-from-sections-mapped (query default scope
mapping add-headline)
"See my library of Babel."
(let* (
(org-use-tag-inheritance nil)
(title-row (mapcar '(lambda (cfg) (cdr (assoc "colname" cfg)))
mapping))
(rows (org-map-entries #'(lambda ()
(mapcar '(lambda (column) (let*
((default-value (or (cdr (assoc "default" column)) default))
(entry (cdr
(assoc "entry" column)))
(mapping (cdr
(assoc "map" column)))
(raw
(org-entry-get nil entry))
(mapped (if
mapping (funcall mapping raw) raw)))
(or mapped
default-value))) mapping)) query scope)))
(if add-headline (append `(,title-row hline) rows) rows)))
#+NAME: generate-table-from-sections-mapped
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :exports results :results table :var query='() :var
default="N/A" scope='file :var mapping='() :var add-headline='t :cache no

I call it from my org files like this:
#+name: demoprops2
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
'(
(("colname" . "ROW") ("entry" . "ITEM"))
(("colname" . "default") ("entry" . "x-prop-xxx"))
(("colname" . "custom default") ("entry" . "x-prop-b") ("default" . "not
there"))
(("colname" . "link") ("entry" . "CUSTOM_ID") ("map" . (lambda (value) (if
value (format "[[#%s][%s]]" value value) "<default>"))))
(("colname" . "linked item") ("entry" . "CUSTOM_ID") ("map" . (lambda
(value) (if value (format "[[#%s][%s]]" value (org-entry-get nil "ITEM"))
(org-entry-get nil "ITEM")))))
)
#+end_src
#+CALL: generate-table-from-sections-mapped(scope='file, mapping=demoprops2,
query="+mytag-exclude")
