Hi

What I still missing in the otherwise excellent table/spreadsheet is a
sort of coordinate system which would easily allow me to find the column
and line number.
I mean something like this.

| 1/A |   B |  C | D   |
|   2 | 200 | 10 | 190 |
|   3 |     |    |     |
#+TBLFM: $4=@2$2-@2$3

Which would allow be to have also $4=B2-C2 in the input bar.

For the lines, I sometimes use an indirect buffer and turn on
linum-mode

But what could I do for the columns?

Thanks

Uwe Brauer
