Dear Carsten , Thanks ! That's exactly what I was in need of: a combination of a column-formula and relative references in the formula. So far, so good. Now, I have the formula line like this
#+TBLFM: $...@-1$5 + @-0$3 - @-0$4 and the very line I typed the formula gets calculated fine. If I want another line into the bus, I go to the empty field in the same column in another line, and go to the Calculate menu, and choose recalculate line, and the fine result appears there , as expected. But if I approach Calculate / Recalculate all , in fact , nothing happens. I tried many times, without result. Recalc line works perfectly, but that does not seem what I'm looking for, which would be a recalculation of all the fields in the column that holds my column-formula. I'll continue reading until I find out, but if you come up with an answer earlier I'd be grateful in advance ! :-) best , haroldo 2009/8/3 Carsten Dominik <carsten.domi...@gmail.com> > Hi Haroldo, > > > You cannot copy a formula easily from one field t the next with > shifting the reference like you would do in a normal spreadsheet. > However, you can use relative references (see the manual) in > order to write formulas in an invariant way, and then use basic > editing commands in the C-c ' buffer to define the formula for > many fields.
