Hey Nick, the first one came through just fine. This is pretty cool but still not quite what I'm looking for. It totally helped me get what I wanted though! I wanted to have a separate row for each day so I could fill in activities. Modifying your example I get:
| date | place | activity | notes | |------------------+---------+---------------------------+------------------| | <2010-03-19 Fri> | | | dummy | | <2010-03-20 Sat> | | | | | <2010-03-21 Sun> | moon | collect rocks | | | <2010-03-22 Mon> | jupiter | thrash around the red dot | | | <2010-03-23 Tue> | mars | see the little green men | | | <2010-03-24 Wed> | earth | | home, sweet home | #+TBLFM: @2$1 = <03-19-2010>::$1 = @-1$1 + 1 Exactly what I wanted! I can insert days, move them around, and just hit C-u C-c C-c to have it update. I'd like to understand how it works though, if you don't mind. What does the ::$1 synax mean? And how did it know that we were dealing with a date?
