  I had tried this but found it too ugly and hard to understand and I abandoned it. Now I'm retaking it and searching what changes I should do to make it comfortable. Some notes:

1. I didn't want to group tasks by level-2 headers, but show all tasks instead (at any level). Therefore I should use:  (setq org-agenda-clockreport-parameter-plist '(:link t :maxlevel 99 ))

2. The table is too wide and lines span into several visible lines. I should either learn to trim the table columns, or activate truncate-lines somehow when the table is bigger than the window.

3. I don't understand the table format. It is showing hierarchical information and thus would fit much better in an outline. It doesn't let me expand/contract sections and I would like this because there are too many. It doesn't recognize or highlight the keywords or priorities. Furthermore, the keys to move between cells (left/right arrow) have other meanings in the agenda view (ex: change days).

4. It seems this report can't be easily extended; well, only with :formula lines, which may be complex to write by hand. Useful extensions would be: a) to show the effort estimate for each task (and so to discover whether you did the task in time). Or b) to show the exact time period(s) when you worked on each task.



  So: this clock report mode in the agenda view isn't still comfortable, but seems the base for what I want; I will go on from this.

  Thanks,

Daniel
