I don't know much about R, but here is a hack to do somthing like this with python. I have not tested it beyond what you see here.
You can use emacs lisp in an org-mode spreadsheet as a formula. We will hack that to let us use Python. We will do that by making a lisp function that evaluates a python string and returns the results. | x | y | | |---+---+----| | 1 | 2 | 3 | | 2 | 4 | 6 | | 3 | 6 | 18 | |---+---+----| | | | | #+TBLFM: @2$3=@2$1 + @2$2 #+TBLFM: @3$3='(+ @3$1 @3$2);N #+TBLFM: @4$3='(python "@4$1 * @4$2");N #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp (defun python (string) "Send string to a python interpreter and return result."
