I do this fairly often. Just use enter to add a row in the table, the references are automatically updated. Now, if you copy and paste it won't work. I just tried your example with the LR, and that worked fine for me. |-------+----------+----------| | task | estimate | probable | |-------+----------+----------| | one | 12 | 2 | | two | 10 | 3 | | three | 8 | 8 | | three | 8 | 8 | | three | 8 | 8 | | three | 8 | 8 | |-------+----------+----------| | total | 54 | 37 | |-------+----------+----------| #+TBLFM: $LR2=vsum(@-...@-ii)::$LR3=vsum(@-...@-ii) This isn't copy/paste sensitive at all. Does that answer your question? ------------------------------------------------------------------ Russell Adams rlad...@adamsinfoserv.com PGP Key ID: 0x1160DCB3 http://www.adamsinfoserv.com/ Fingerprint: 1723 D8CA 4280 1EC9 557F 66E8 1154 E018 1160 DCB3 _______________________________________________ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Please use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
