Hi, This is a much better version of the little add-on I've written:
Bill-of-materials (org-bom.el) I've used this for over 6 months now, daily. If you ever need to quickly make a quote for a client, or simply make easy to-buy list, this should help you. You can find the code here: http://pastebin.com/K11QpQ6Q The tutorial is included with it, but here is an eye-friendly version: http://frozenlock.wordpress.com/2011/10/20/bom-bills-of-materials/ Finally, just to tease you, this is a table generated from various data gathered inside a buffer: #+BEGIN: bom :total t :no-tag t :description t :price t | Component | Quantity | Price | Description | |-----------------+----------+-------+--------------| | CDs | 50 | | Not DVDs | | Headset | 1 | | N/A | | Keyboard | 3 | 120 | Used to type | | Mouse | 2 | | N/A | | USB flash drive | 23 | | N/A | |-----------------+----------+-------+--------------| | TOTAL: | | 120 | | #+TBLFM: @>$3=vsum(@I..@>>) #+END: Enjoy!
