Org table spreadsheet gives access to Emacs Calc that has its own manual and subscr is in chapter "Extracting Vector Elements": (info "(Calc)Extracting Elements") Michael

Yes, it's documented in the Calc manual, section 11.3, "Extracting Vector Elements". I'd encourage you to write up a short tutorial on your use case: it's interesting, non-trivial and perhaps a nice introduction to using Calc functions in Org tables. Worg would be a better place for it! Nick

Thank you! But on the page of the URL mentioned above there is nothing related to »subscr« at all. Is there a more verbose reference I do not know yet? -- Karl Voit

Here we only have one table under the entry, so there is no ambiguity: --8<---cut here---start->8--- * bar :PROPERTIES: :ID: 17 :END: #+TBLNAME: bar | a | b | |---+---| | 1 | | | 2 | | | 3 | | | 4 | | | 5 | | | 6 | | --8<---cut here---end--->8--- In practice, you would probably generate the ID with org-id-uuid or similar to ensure that the ID is unique. If you change the remote reference to e.g remote(17, @3$1) and recalculate, you can see the values in the foo table changing appropriately. Does that answer your question?

Re: [O] Referencing elemts of a table
Hello, Do you know if it's possible for a table in another file? Because in the manuel i read it's possible but I don't have result.

Re: [O] Referencing elemts of a table
Hi Karl You need additionally $# from "Field coordinates in formulas" described here: http://orgmode.org/manual/References.html#References and Calc vector subscript: #+TBLFM: @2 = subscr(remote(orgtblA, @2$2..@2$7), $#) Michael On Tue, Jun 7, 2011 at 17:55, Karl Voit wrote: > I want to define "orgtblB line 2 (row 1 to 6)" should contain the > values "from orgtblA, last line, row 2 to 7". > > I tried > > #+TBLFM: @2=remote(orgtblA,@2$2..@2$7) > > and > > #+TBLFM: @2$1..@2$6=remote(orgtblA,@2$2..@2$7) > > but that results in a list of 6x 5 values in each field in row 2. > > Here is an example of my org-tbl-reference-problem: > http://paste.grml.org/462/
