Subject: Table formulas: daily hour * rate = cost
Date: Thu, 12 Feb 2015 07:17:29 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <878ug38gti.fsf@gmail.com> (raw)
I have the followign table, which should speak for itself. First the "cost" column needs to be calculated, which is hours * rate, and then the "hrs" and "ttl" fields should be filled in based on sums of their columns. However, I'm not sure why $cost isn't being evaluated; I've tried it with column names as well as indices but unless I specify each field individually (e.g. @3$5) I can't get a result here. Formula debugging seems to ignore it, too. But I've been trying to follow the example on the "advanced feature" page[1] as closely as possible; what's the problem?
