Hi Rasmus, Sorry I think I totally missed your point earlier - I thought all you wanted was to move the total column, not get time detail in column 1. As Carsten mentioned, the agenda view with logging enabled (and appropriate tag filters) may get you closer to what you are looking for. I use a combination of that and C-u R in the daily / weekly agenda to get a summary of clock detail lines. Regards, Bernt
