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: $LR2=vsum(@-I..@-II)::$LR3=vsum(@-I..@-II)
This isn't copy/paste sensitive at all.
Does that answer your question?
