Hi,
I am trying to calculate a field using references to horizontal lines 
according to http://orgmode.org/manual/References.html

For example:

| col1 | col2 |
|------+------|
| foo  |    1 |
| bar  |    2 |
| baz  |    4 |
|------+------|
| sum  |      |
|      |      |
#+TBLFM: @II+1$2=vsum(@I$2..@II$2)

The field to the right of "sum" (@5$2 as a fixed reference) should be "7".

The output is as follows though (the cursor was in the "baz" field
when I pressed "C-u C-c *" to recalculate all formulas):

| col1 | col2 |
|------+------|
| foo  |    1 |
| bar  |    2 |
| 7    |    7 |
|------+------|
| 10   |   10 |
|      |      |
#+TBLFM: @II+1$2=vsum(@I$2..@II$2)

Could anyone enlighten me where I made a mistake here?

Thanks a lot,
Daniel

Hi Daniel,

What version of org are you using?  Using a hline-relative reference on
the lhs of a formula is not allowed in the current development version
of org (i.e. the master branch).  Presumably because it doesn’t work
correctly, as you have discovered.

The patch to prevent this was made over a year ago (2013-11-05).  However,
as far as I can tell it has not been in any released version of org.  I
tried to ascertain this using the command:

git tag --contains a2c71a6

Which returns only:

beta_8.3
release_8.3beta

Sorry that there’s not a more satisfying answer,

Hi Aaron,

I tested it with the latest version from ELPA:

Org-mode version 8.2.10 (8.2.10-29-g89a0ac-elpa @ 
/home/daniel/.emacs.d/elpa/org-20150112/)

But thanks for the hint that this is a known problem, I will just stick with 
fixed references which are fine, as long as I remember not to delete or insert 
lines with generic delete or copy&paste commands.

Cheers,
Daniel
