Hi
As it was pointed out to me in
https://github.com/kjambunathan/org-mode-ox-odt/issues/94
It is possible to start with a ods file then convert it to csv with
formula to obtain something like this
#+begin_src
3,6,"=SUM($A1:$B1)"
1,3,"=SUM($A2:$B2)"
1,2,"=SUM($A3:$B3)"
#+end_src
That can be relatively converted to a org-table with the correct formula
#+begin_src
| First | | |
|-------+---+-----|
| 3 | 6 | 9 |
| 1 | 3 | 4 |
| 1 | 2 | 3 |
| 8 | 9 | 17 |
,#+TBLFM: $3=vsum($1..$2);f-2
#+end_src
And furthermore modified.
#+begin_src
| First | | |
|-------+---+-----|
| 3 | 6 | 9 |
| 1 | 3 | 4 |
| 1 | 2 | 3 |
| 8 | 9 | 17 |
| 100 | 1 | 101 |
,#+TBLFM: $3=vsum($1..$2);f-2
#+end_src
The question is how to convert back to csv?
Manually the «correct table» would be
#+begin_src
| 3 | 6 | =SUM($A1:$B1) |
| 1 | 3 | =SUM($A2:$B2) |
| 1 | 2 | =SUM($A3:$B3) |
| 100 | 1 | =SUM($A4:$B4) |
#+end_src
Which will then be converted to
#+begin_src
3,6,=SUM($A1:$B1)
1,3,=SUM($A2:$B2)
1,2,=SUM($A3:$B3)
100,1,=SUM($A4:$B4)
#+end_src
So the question is: at least for simple formulas (no ifs for example)
wouldn't it be good to implement a lisp function that does this conversion?
