Hello,
There seems to be an error when using hline-relative references in an
org-mode table’s formula. For example, I have the following org-mode table:
#+BEGIN: columnview :hlines 1 :id global
| /Project/ | Mon | Tue | Wed | Thu | Fri | Sat | Sun | /Total/ |
|----------------+-----+-----+-----+------+-----+------+-----+---------|
| AnotherProduct | | | | | | 2.50 | | |
| Prototype | | | | 3.50 | | | | |
|----------------+-----+-----+-----+------+-----+------+-----+---------|
| /Daily/ | | | | | | | | |
#+TBLFM: @I$9..@II$9=vsum($2..$8);%.2f;::@II$2..@III$9='(format
"%3.2f" (apply '+ '(@I..@II)));N;
and I get the error can't assign to hline relative reference when I run M-x
org-table-recalculate. I looked over the org-mode references documentation
<http://orgmode.org/manual/References.html> and the gmane.org forums
<http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/86960>, but I did not find
any reasons as to why the hline relative references could not be assigned.
This issue is related to the timesheet package on MELPA. I have filed an
issue here: https://github.com/tmarble/timesheet.el/issues/3 but hopefully
I have found the underlying problem, and hopefully it is reasonably fixable.
Here is some relevant info:
-
Org-mode version 8.3.1 (8.3.1-87-g4ef2c0-elpa @
/home/luke/.emacs.d/elpa/org-20150824/)
-
emacs-version: 24.5.1
-
ArchLinux OS: Linux 4.1.6-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Mon Aug 17 08:52:28 CEST
2015 x86_64 GNU/Linux
This is a copy of my question posted here:
http://emacs.stackexchange.com/questions/15185/cant-assign-to-hline-relative-reference
Any suggestions or guidance would be appreciated. I am happy to clarify
anything as well.
Thanks,
Luke

This is a known limitation: hline relative references are not allowed on the left hand side of a formula. The error message you get should be explicit. There are apparently subtle problems, IIRC, as pointed out in <http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/86960>.

Still, a lot of folks didn’t understand the original message, myself included. I will update my SO post and the Github issue to reflect this new information. Still, I am confused because it seems like org-mode used to allow hline references to be assigned, no? My code snippet was taken from a section in the timesheet.el MELPA package, which was working fine until an org-mode update broke it. I may be missing something, so I am not sure if this is the case. Anyway, your response is very much appreciated!

As Carsten pointed out, that was a bug, as Org couldn't expand them correctly anyway. As a consequence, an error is now thrown. Regards, ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread
