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

Maybe you can try C-c } org-table-toggle-coordinate-overlays
First outline the header (C-c -):
| 1/A | B | C | D |
|-----+-----+----+-----|
| 2 | 200 | 10 | 190 |
| 3 | | | |
After C-c } rows and columns coordinates are shown:
| 1| 1/A | B | C | D |
|I*1 |$1---+$2---+$3--+$4---|
| 2| 2 | 200 | 10 | 190 |
| 3| 3 | | | |

You may also try C-c ' in the D2 cell.
A new buffer displays the formula.
Moving the cursor through the formula highlights the involved cells.

You mean add a hline?

Yes, a hline.
Coordinates are overlaid on the hline.
Otherwise you don't see them.
