Hello everyone,

"Yes"|'(@2$...@4$4))::@5$5=vmean(@2$...@4$5);%.1f


The problem I'm having is when my cursor is at @4$1 and I'm pressing  
RET.

It creates a new row where I can enter new data, as expected.

It will increment the
  @5$5 part to @6$5

Now the problem is when I try to automate the formulas a bit.

If I would instead of
 @5$5=vmean(@2$...@4$5);%.1f
use
 @5$5=vmean(@2$...@-1$5);%.1f
the following message will come up during evaluation:
 Row descriptor -1 used in line  crosses hline

Does anyone have any idea how I can make this work? The problem goes
away when I delete the horizontal line. If my table design is wrong or
there is a better way to do what I'm open to changing it.


The fact that relative references are not allowed to cross horizontal
separator lines is an old feature which I implemented fro some obscure
reason.  I think now is the tie to get rid of it, because it causes
more confusion than anything.

I have just pushed a change to this effect, thanks for bringing it up.

Thanks in advance,
