Re: [O] Counting total number of projects

[Phil Mason]

Hi Chris,

> Is there any way to calculate total number of projects in real-time such that,

If you don't mind marking your projects as TODO then you can use statistics 
cookies like this:

* Projects [%] [/]
** TODO project 1
   + foo
** DONE project 2
   + bar
** TODO project 3
   + baz
** TODO project 4
   + qux

And then the projects line should show (4 projects, 3 in progress, 1 completed):

* Projects [25%] [1/4]

There is more on the checkboxes page of the manual here:

http://orgmode.org/manual/Checkboxes.html#Checkboxes

I tend to have todo lists for each projects so I need the recursive property 
after the projects line like this:

* Projects [%] [/]
:PROPERTIES:
:COOKIE_DATA: recursive
:END:
** TODO project 1
...

Hope this helps

Phil
