Sorry that last post was unfinished. Here's my attempt at fixing the student rank
| | Rank | names | grade 1 | grade 2 | grade 3 | Total | Letter grade | |---+------+------------+---------+---------+---------+-------+--------------| | # | 1 | student 01 | 91.80 | 96.40 | 97.00 | 95.07 | A | | # | 3 | student 03 | 92.00 | 95.14 | 97.00 | 94.71 | A | | # | 2 | student 02 | 88.78 | 89.15 | 98.00 | 91.98 | A | | # | 4 | student 04 | 84.00 | 74.62 | 88.00 | 82.21 | B | #+TBLFM: $7=($4+$5+$6)/3;%.2f::$8=if($7<60,F,if($7<70,D,if($7<80,C,if($7<90,B,A))))::@2$2=1::[EMAIL PROTECTED] You can sort the table by the total column descending to get the rank. If you sort the resulting table like this: 1) Position cursor on any total value 2) M-x org-table-sort-lines 3) N (for reverse numeric sort) Then update the Rank column with C-u C-u C-c C-c anywhere in the table the rank numbers are recomputed starting from 1 on the first row. I hope your blank lines aren't too important because sorting puts them all at the bottom of the table. Does that do what you want? -Bernt _______________________________________________ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
