For example, if I have a table of expenses, i.e. columns with "date", "note" and "sum", and then want to group the entries into different categories such as "groceries", "car" etc. Can I do this someway?

Hi Johan, You can't attach metadata such as tags to table rows. Two things come to mind. 1. If you just want the table for visual purposes (as opposed for doing calculations with it), then you could use column-view. I.e. you would have a subtree for groceries and a subtree for car; categories such as date, note and sum would be stored in properties. http://orgmode.org/manual/Column-view.html#Column-view Visibility cycling works in column view so you can group and ungroup the rows. [is there anyway of creating a normal Org table from a column view "table"?] 2. org-babel: If you're happy with a suitable supported language, then store the category label in a column and you can transform the master table however you want. R would be a convenient language for working with a table like this.

My idea was to go through a long imported table and quickly categorize the different rows into a number of predefined categories, without having to actually type the category for each row. Can I do that? If babel is a way, I think I would prefer to use python as I am familiar with it. But I have not used it with babel, is that possible?

I use a headline for each month, say "May 2010" and subheadings for each category (groceries, bills, transport, etc.) with a corresponding table in each one. Each table calculates the total for that category and has a unique name, say "BillsMay2010". All of the totals for each table are concatenated in a table "ExpensesMay2010" (also in a subheadings of the month headline) that has one line for each category and calculates the total. There is even gnuplot code with org-babel to plot the amount spent in each category from the "ExpensesMay2010" table. Of course there is a snippet (with yasnippet) for all of this and in the first day of the month I call the snippet and only provide the month name and the year (both used to make the name of each table unique). This snippet makes easy creating all the infrastructure for each month and org speedkeys makes easy navigating the categories to quickly add something. This works very well and I only need to be careful and update each table (C-u C-u C-c *) when I make some change.
