Hmmm. It appears that one can make sbe set multiple cells in the table -- simply make your code block output multiple results separated by "|" and set ":results table". This, however, also shifts any existing cells in the table, thus increasing the number of columns, instead of just overwriting the given number of cells. > I would recommend a solution like the following, which > reads the /entire/ table into a code block, and writes the results out > in place. This isn't always practical. In the case of the Org document I'm writing at the moment, the computation is rather expensive, and my goal is that you can edit a row in the table and run the calculation just for that row to see the result. Updating the entire table at once would be much too slow. > Every time the code block is evaluated multiple cells in the table are > changed.
