Re: [O] table formula help...
Aloha Eric, One approach would normalize the =counts= table= and use a SQL query to generate the payments table. #+name: counts | id | Piece | N| Unit | Translator | | 1 | foo | 84 | line | bar| | 2 | baz | 6633 | char | foobar | The query would sum over =N= conditional on =Unit= and group by =Translator=. I can't write the query off the top of my head. hth, Tom Eric Abrahamsen writes: > I never seem to use the spreadsheet unless it's some horribly > complicated thing I don't know how to calculate...

Yes, that is correct. I have a few code blocks that work and don't work, in the ECM, if at all you want to look at them. sparse-tree-ecm.org Description: Binary data
[O] table formula help...
I never seem to use the spreadsheet unless it's some horribly complicated thing I don't know how to calculate... Can someone lend me a hand? I'm calculating payment rates for contributors (actually translators) to a magazine. I've got two tables: The first is essentially a table of contents, listing pieces with their character count (prose), or line count (poetry), plus who translated it. The second is a list of translators, with their total character/line count, and how much they're owed. I'm having a hell of a time getting the column formulas right: specifically referencing one table from another. The first table looks like this: #+NAME: counts | Piece | Chars | Lines | Translator | +++---+--+ | 凤凰 ||84 | Austin Woerner | | 王血 | 6633 | | Eric Abrahamsen | | 赵氏孤儿 | 16984 | | Canaan Morse | | 山鬼故家 ||24 | Lucas Klein | | 寂静何其深沉 ||10 | Lucas Klein | And the second: #+NAME: payments #+CONSTANTS: prose=0.7 poetry=10 | Translator | Total Chars | Total Lines | Payment | |--+-+-+-| | Austin Woerner | | | | | Eric Abrahamsen | | | | | Canaan Morse | | | | | Lucas Klein | | | | In this second table, the formula I want for the "Total Chars" column is: "Set each row of $2 in table payments to the sum of all numbers in $2 of remote(counts), if $2 is not empty, and if $4 of remote(counts) is equal to $1 of table payments." The formula for "Total Lines" would be exactly the same, but with the $2s all switched to $3. I can handle adding up the amounts! Is it possible to iterate over all the rows in another table like this? Is there a better way I could be arranging my tables? Thanks for any tips! Eric
[O] How to export strings froom options to JS variables?
Hi all, I have this near the beginning my Org file: #+ATTR_COOL: How cool is that! I want it to be exported to something like var how_cool = 'How cool is that!' There is a problem, hovever, what happens if some clever kid exploited it, putting things like apostrophes into the string: #+ATTR_COOL: It's nice! which gets exported to
