Assuming that CANCELLED is a DONE state - see (info "(org) workflow states") for details - the above should work for CANCELLED as well. E.g. --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- #+TODO: TODO | DONE CANCELLED * TODO foo SCHEDULED: <2014-06-09 Mon> * DONE bar SCHEDULED: <2014-06-09 Mon> * CANCELLED baz SCHEDULED: <2014-06-09 Mon> --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- then the agenda shows all three if org-agenda-skip-scheduled-if-done is nil, but shows only `foo' if it is set to t. As a more general question, should the default be t for all three of the org-agenda-skip-*-if-done variables? It seems that most people prefer that behaviour. Perhaps we have gone around this before, but I didn't check the archives. Nick
