Subject: Table (used a "spreadsheet") org-sbe issues when the value is a string
Date: Wed, 22 Jun 2016 08:37:36 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <35a64fca-7d01-b382-15f0-568d93af4f61@fgiasson.com> (raw)

Hi Everybody,

I am experiencing a few issues trying to update a cell value using 
=org-sbe= when the value of a column is a string.

Here is an example that works when the value is a number:


====================

#+NAME: average-dataset-size
#+BEGIN_SRC clojure :var f="turtle" :exports none :results value
(identity f)
#+END_SRC

#+RESULTS: average-dataset-size
: turtle


| Format | Sizes distribution in MB | Average size in MB |
|--------+--------------------------+--------------------|
|      7 |                          |                  7 |
#+TBLFM: $3='(org-sbe "average-dataset-size" (f $1))

====================

Now, if I put a string in the format column, I al getting the following:

====================

#+NAME: average-dataset-size
#+BEGIN_SRC clojure :var f="turtle" :exports none :results value
(identity f)
#+END_SRC

#+RESULTS: average-dataset-size
: turtle


| Format | Sizes distribution in MB | Average size in MB |
|--------+--------------------------+--------------------|
| turtle |                          | #ERROR             |
#+TBLFM: $3='(org-sbe "average-dataset-size" (f $1))

====================

The debugging session I have is (which doesn't tell me with Result: is 
#ERROR):

====================

Substitution history of formula
Orig:   ?
$xyz->  '(org-sbe "average-dataset-size" (f $1))
@r$c->  '(org-sbe "average-dataset-size" (f $1))
$1->    '(org-sbe "average-dataset-size" (f "turtle"))
Result: #ERROR
Format: NONE
Final:  #ERROR

====================


Note #1: (identity) is a function in Clojure that returns the same value 
that is in input.


I am wondering if this is a bug, or something that I am missing in how 
to use these features?


Thanks for helping,


Fred
