[Orgmode] Table equations: II on lhs

2010-02-01 Thread Kim Toms
I am using a simple table to add up some estimates for tasks.  On the left
hand side of the equations in the TBLFM line I can't get an expression like
@II$2 to work.

Here's an example
| task  | estimate | probable |
|---+--+--|
| one   |   12 |2 |
| two   |   10 |3 |
|---+--+--|
| total |   22 |5 |
#+TBLFM: @4$2=vsum(@i...@ii-1)::@4$3=vsum(@i...@ii-1)

I'd like to be able to put @II$2 on the LHS of the equation.  That way, when
I add a row to the table, the equation doesn't have to change.

A workaround for the above table is to use $LR2 and $LR3 instead of the more
general references.

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?
