Subject: FR: Columnview Tables & Formulas
Date: Sat, 6 Sep 2008 16:57:55 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20080906215755.GC14306@thinkpad.adamsinfoserv.com> (raw)

I've taken to using the column view tables to aggregate table from an
outline.

I'd like to be able to use standard spreadsheet features in the same
table, specifically column formulas.

Right now it works, I can add an extra column and enter a column
formula. However when the table is refreshed in column mode, I lose
the spreadsheet data.

I see two fixes, either the TBLFM line is preserved, or could the
column formula be specified in the COLUMNS line?

Imagine a small table with two properties, VALUE and QUANTITY, where
TOTAL VALUE should be calculated via simple multiplication.

Thanks.
