I'm looking for a way to reference a row or column on both the left side and right side of a table formula that is "easily" manipulable.
At first, I thought the hline references would work for me @I..@II, except they cannot be used on the left side of an equation. I hoped that maybe named fields would work (^,_), but those are apparently value aliases and not location references. Essentially, I want to keep a single table in which I can enter and calculate data, and limit the computation to start at a given row that I change as I go along. Maybe I'm simply using the wrong tool for this, excel is certainly not capable; so if org-table isn't either, it certainly doesn't lessen it. #+BEGIN_EXAMPLE | F | A | B | C | |---+----+----+----| | _ | tA | tB | tC | | | 1 | 3 | 42 | | | 2 | 4 | 69 | |---+----+----+----| | # | | | | #+TBLFM=@>$2=vsum(@tA..@II)::$tC=$-2+$-1 | F | A | B | C | |---+----+----+----| | | 1 | 3 | 42 | | _ | tA | tB | tC | | | 2 | 4 | 69 | |---+----+----+----| | # | | | | #+TBLFM=@>$2=vsum(@tA..@II)::$tC=$-2+$-1 #+END_EXAMPLE -- "The man who does not read good books has no advantage over the man who cannot read them." -- Mark Twain
