John Herrlin has another nice post. This time it’s on using Org-mode tables. Like his post on Org source blocks, he concentrates on examples of how he, himself, uses Org tables. Both of his posts take, I think, an intermediate point of view. For example, the Table post is more than the usual beginner explanation of how to input and edit tables; it covers how to make calculations in those tables. It’s a nice follow on to his previous post that considered how to do essentially the same thing using source blocks and some external language.
The exposition isn’t advanced but he does take up the subject of clock tables, which can be a bit confusing for beginners. What I like about this post is that it shows how useful Org mode can be even if your aren’t a programmer. There’s nothing in Herrlin’s examples that couldn’t apply to any worker familiar with using a computer or even to someone like, say, a writer or journalist who wants to keep track of their time or work with data in a systematic way using tables.
If you’re an experience Org table user, you probably won’t find anything new in the post but beginner or intermediate users are very likely to find something useful in it.
