Dear All,
In the following:
| | | |
| | | |
|---+---+---|
| 1 | 1 | 1 |
#+TBLFM: @I$3=1
I expected to get a '1' just in the third column. Where am I going
wrong?
Cheers,
Loris

(apologies in advance for suggesting just a workaround
instead of a rational explanation, hope it helps anyway)
It happened to me too some time ago, I used a slightly
different formula and it worked:
#+TBLFM: @I+1$3..@I+1$3=1
Does it work for you too? Kindest regards,
Andrea

I must be missing something. When I recalculate the table (update table)
applying both above TBLFM's - on the line to be updated, in the TBLFM
line, and in the table itself, an error is returned
"can't assign to hline relative reference"

Andrea's kludge works for me. My understanding is that only a C-c C-c
in the TBLFM would actually update the table.
Looking at the documentation at
http://orgmode.org/manual/References.html#References
again, I would have expected
@I+1$3
to be a correct way of referring to the 3rd column in the row after the
first hline, rather than the entire row. It is unclear
to me what
@I$3
as I used in my example above should correspond to.
Cheers,
Loris

It works on my Org version (8.2.7c from ELPA). After a bit of
digging I found that:
- the "can't assign to hline relative reference" message was
added by commit a2c71a6e359cb93aa652f65c666294fb2a3b5e1b
dated Nov 5th, 2013
- motivations for that patch have been discussed here:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/71562
- so I think I suggested something undocumented/unsupported
that can't be used anymore, sorry :(
- I'd like to express it as a wish for the future: support for
hline references ("@I") in the left side of the formula
would be a great feature (and it already seemed to work
in some special cases, like @I+1$1..@I+1$1)
Kindest regards,
Andrea
