Hi,

The docs say that the REF argument to remote can be "@3$3 or $somename, 
valid in the referenced table". So, adapting the tutorial, the last 
column here should get the same values as the second one, right?


| currency | rate (@r$c ref) | rate (named ref) |
|----------+-----------------+------------------|
| eur      |               1 | nil              |
| usd      |            0.77 | nil              |
| sek      |            0.12 | nil              |
| sek      |            0.12 | nil              |
| sek      |            0.12 | nil              |
| nok      |            0.14 | nil              |
|          |             nil |                  |
  #+TBLFM: $2='(org-lookup-first $1 '(remote(rates,@2$2..@>$2)) 
'(remote(rates,@2$3..@>$3)))::$3='(org-lookup-first $1 
'(remote(rates,$abbr)) '(remote(rates,$euros)))


  #+TBLNAME: rates
| ! | abbr | euros |
|---+------+-------|
|   | eur  |     1 |
|   | nok  |  0.14 |
|   | sek  |  0.12 |
|   | usd  |  0.77 |



Thanks for your answers!


Daniel

Actually, wrong.

$abbr (respectively $euros) in this case is equivalent to $2
(respectively $3). So your formula becomes

  $3='(org-lookup-first $1 '(remote(rates,$2)) '(remote(rates,$3)))

However, $2, or $3, are not valid range references so you do not get
vector of values.  However, the following should work as expected

  '(org-lookup-first $1 '(remote(rates,@2$abbr..@>$abbr)) '(remote(rates,@2$euros..@>$euros)))
