Hi

I have regularly to deal with large tables, that I split in smaller ones and then try to connect them.

I have to export the resulting big table to ods, and in the ods case, I have several sheets and use the 
VLOOKUP command, like this

#+begin_src 
#+Name: table1
| Name   | Ex1 | Ex2 | Ex2 | Ex4 | Ex5 | ResSh1 |
|--------+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+--------|
| Smith  |   2 |   3 |   4 |   6 |   7 |     22 |
| Miller |   2 |  10 |   1 |   1 |   5 |     19 |
| Wick   |   1 |   2 |   3 |  10 |   2 |     18 |
#+TBLFM: $7=vsum($2..$6);f2


#+Name: table2   
| Name   | Ex1 | Ex2 | Ex2 | Ex4 | Ex5 | ResSh2 |
|--------+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+--------|
| Smith  |   8 |   3 |   5 |   8 |   9 |     33 |
| Miller |   2 |   1 |   6 |   9 |   3 |     21 |
| Wick   |   1 |   5 |   9 |   1 |   2 |     18 |
#+TBLFM: $7=vsum($2..$6);f2

| Name   |   | ResSh1                                          | ResSh2                                          | Total       |
|--------+---+-------------------------------------------------+-------------------------------------------------+-------------|
| Smith  | 3 | /=VLOOKUP(final.A2,table1.$A$1:$G$3,7,FALSE())/ | /=VLOOKUP(final.A2,table2.$A$1:$G$3,7,FALSE())/ | =SUM(C2:D2) |
| Miller | 3 | /=VLOOKUP(final.A3,table1.$A$1:$G$3,7,FALSE())/ | /=VLOOKUP(final.A3,table2.$A$1:$G$3,5,FALSE())/ | =SUM(C3:D3) |
| Wick   | 4 | /=VLOOKUP(final.A4,table1.$A$1:$G$4,7,FALSE())/ | /=VLOOKUP(final.A4,table2.$A$1:$G$4,7,FALSE())/ | =SUM(C4:D4) |
#+TBLFM: $5=SUM(@4$3:@4$4)
#+end_src


Maybe there are other solution in ods I don't  know, so the question is what is equivalent of VLOOKUP in org.

I came up with the remote command that results in a similar result, (I did not want to use third party packages like 
orgtbl-aggregate. 

#+begin_src 
#+Name: table1
| Name   | Ex1 | Ex2 | Ex2 | Ex4 | Ex5 | ResSh1 |
|--------+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+--------|
| Smith  |   2 |   3 |   4 |   6 |   7 |     22 |
| Miller |   2 |  10 |   1 |   1 |   5 |     19 |
| Wick   |   1 |   2 |   3 |  10 |   2 |     18 |
#+TBLFM: $7=vsum($2..$6);f2


#+Name: table2   
| Name   | Ex1 | Ex2 | Ex2 | Ex4 | Ex5 | ResSh2 |
|--------+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+--------|
| Smith  |   8 |   3 |   5 |   8 |   9 |     33 |
| Miller |   9 |   4 |   6 |   9 |   3 |     31 |
| Wick   |   1 |   5 |   9 |   1 |   2 |     18 |
|--------+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+--------|
#+TBLFM: $7=vsum($2..$6);f2

#+Name: final
| Name   | Some | ResSh1 | ResSh2 | Final |
|--------+------+--------+--------+-------|
| Smith  |    4 |     22 |     33 |    59 |
| Miller |    4 |     19 |     31 |    54 |
| Wick   |    4 |     18 |     18 |    40 |
|--------+------+--------+--------+-------|
#+TBLFM: $3=remote(table1,@@#$7)::$4=remote(table2,@@#$7)::$5=vsum($2..$4);f2
#+end_src


The syntax with @@#$7 look cryptic to me, but I found it somewhere and it works
if somebody can suggest a simpler command that is closer to VLOOKUP I would be grateful

Thanks and regards
