Subject: How to use symbolic names to refer to spreadsheet fields containing irregular values
Date: Wed, 3 Aug 2016 23:31:46 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <482abd44-b7e5-6bd3-b741-3b939b322fc1@gmail.com> (raw)

Dear all,

I would like to make the following work (with Org 8.3.5):

|---+----------+--------+---|
|   |    13:13 | -      | 1 |
| ^ |        h | s      | n |
|---+----------+--------+---|
|   | 13:13:00 | #ERROR | 1 |
|---+----------+--------+---|
#+TBLFM: @3$2=$h;T::@3$3=$s::@3$4=$n

I can give the field @1$2 the symbolic name $h, I can give the field
@1$4 the symbolic name $n, and I can successfully refer to both of them
in @3.

However I didn't manage to refer to @1$3 using the symbolic name $s.
The reason must be the value "-".  If I use an alphabetic string value,
it works.

Any ideas?  Or is this a bug?

Thank you very much in advance,

Christoph
