[O] Durations and time values combined with the clock table..

[Gustav Wikström]

Hello!

Great work with the new functions allowing time calculations in the spreadsheet! Just a few remarks.. The default format is MM:SS and hours have to be qualified by using three positions HH:MM:SS.

Would it not be smart if the default for this calculations is the same as the time-format for the clock table? There the default is HH:MM - i presume due to the superfluity of seconds.

I do not really care which format is the default but being able to use the time calculation on my org-mode-generated time-table, without having to manually add :SS to each string, would be great..

And another question, negative time? I realize that this sounds strange from a philosophical point of view... but being able to use minus in time-cells would be neat.

As an example i've attached a dummy-timetable to this mail to illustrate my point. Column 6 and Row 2, column 5 & 6 is generated by the time-function.

Also, summations over multiple columns or rows does not seem to be working =/
