I have a Writer document with a table in it, and a figure in the last cell
that is the sum of the cells above it. That number has been set as
Insert|Fields|Other|References|Set Reference and given the name "total". On
the second page of the document, not in a table, there is text saying
"Total: <value>" where "<value>" is a field inserted as
Insert|Fields|Other|References|Insert Reference, with "total" chosen, and
Format|Reference. So far, so good. The numeric value appears as expected
after the word "Total:".
But now I'm trying to use that value in a formula in another field, call it
"Grand total", which is, say, (total * 1.1). Is that possible? I've tried
Variable|Insert foumula, but can't get it to use one of the previouly
defined fields ("total"). Hopefully I've just missed something simple. Could
not find it mentioned in the help.
For now, I've worked around it making a second table, and used table
formulas, which can access values in other tables. But it won't always be
appropriate to use another table.
