Hi
Consider please the following table
| Name | E1 | E2 | E3 | E4 | Res |
|--------+----+----+----+----+-----|
| Entry1 | | | | | NP |
| Entry2 | 10 | 20 | 30 | 40 | 10 |
#+TBLFM: $6=if("$2" == "nan" , string("NP"),($2+$3+$4+$5)/10);E
The last column contains a string NP if the corresponding cell in the
second column is empty.
However when I consider
| Name | E1 | E2 | E3 | E4 | Res |
|--------+----+----+----+----+-----|
| Entry1 | | | | | NP |
| Entry2 | 10 | 20 | 30 | 40 | 10 |
| Entry3 | 10 | | 20 | 30 | nan |
#+TBLFM: $6=if("$2" == "nan" , string("NP"),($2+$3+$4+$5)/10);E
The last row behaves strangely the cell in the second column is *not*
empty but the cell in the third one is, nevertheless the cell in the
last column contains the string nan, which I don't understand.
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks

The empty column for Entry3 is in column 3 and not column 2. Try
toggling the Col/Row numbers.

But the second column is *not* empty; maybe you meant 3rd column?

What I meant is this.
Take the following simple table
| Name | E1 | E2 | E3 | E4 | Res |
|--------+----+----+----+----+-----| Entry1 | 10 | 30 | 40 | 50 |
|| Entry2 | 10 | 20 | 30 | 40 | | #+TBLFM: $6=($2+$3+$4+$5)/10
C-u C-u C-c C-c
leads to
| Name | E1 | E2 | E3 | E4 | Res |
|--------+----+----+----+----+-----| Entry1 | 10 | 30 | 40 | 50 |
|13 | Entry2 | 10 | 20 | 30 | 40 | 10 | #+TBLFM:
|$6=($2+$3+$4+$5)/10
Now for any new entry I want to have in the 6th column NP if the
entry in the second column (not the whole column) is empty.
| Name | E1 | E2 | E3 | E4 | Res |
|--------+----+----+----+----+-----| Entry1 | 10 | 30 | 40 | 50 |
|13 | Entry2 | 10 | 20 | 30 | 40 | 10 | Entry3 | | | |
|| |
Should lead to
| Name | E1 | E2 | E3 | E4 | Res |
|--------+----+----+----+----+-----| Entry1 | 10 | 30 | 40 | 50 |
|13 | Entry2 | 10 | 20 | 30 | 40 | 10 | Entry3 | | | |
|| NP |
How can I achieve that?
The following works well
| Name | E1 | E2 | E3 | E4 | Res |
|--------+----+----+----+----+-----| Entry1 | | | | |
|NP | Entry2 | 10 | 20 | 30 | 40 | 10 | #+TBLFM: $6=if("$2" ==
|"nan" , string("NP"),($2+$3+$4+$5)/10);E
although the second column is *not* empty, but it is empty for
Entry 1.
But fails if there is a row like this
| Name | E1 | E2 | E3 | E4 | Res |
|--------+----+----+----+----+-----| Entry1 | | | | |
|NP | Entry2 | 10 | 20 | 30 | 40 | 10 | Entry3 | 10 | | 20 |
|30 | nan | #+TBLFM: $6=if("$2" == "nan" ,
|string("NP"),($2+$3+$4+$5)/10);E

I think you are looking for this:
| Name | E1 | E2 | E3 | E4 | Res |
|--------+----+----+----+----+-----|
| Entry1 | | | | | NP |
| Entry2 | 10 | 20 | 30 | 40 | 10 |
| Entry3 | 10 | | 20 | 30 | NP |
#+TBLFM: $6 = if(typeof(vsum($2..$5)) == 12 , string("NP"),
vsum($2..$5) / 10); E
See the example
if(typeof(vmean($1..$7)) == 12, string(""), vmean($1..$7); E
in the manual.

This is precisely what I was looking for, thanks a lot. I meanwhile
circumvent the problem by
| Name | E1 | E2 | E3 | E4 | Pre | Res |
|--------+----+----+----+----+-----+-----|
| Entry1 | | | | | 0 | NP |
| Entry2 | 10 | 20 | 30 | 40 | 100 | 10 |
| Entry3 | 10 | | 20 | 30 | 60 | 6 |
#+TBLFM: $6=$2+$3+$4+$5::$7=if("$2" == "nan", string("NP"),$6/10);E
But your solution is much more elegant.

I understood what you meant and your code is working properly. You
are checking the second column which is the column labelled E1, not
the one labelled E2 which is actually the third column... change your
if statement to check $3, not $2.

Maybe the format of the table was distorted.
| Name | E1 | E2 | E3 | E4 | Res |
|--------+----+----+----+----+-----|
| Entry1 | | | | | NP |
| Entry2 | 10 | 20 | 30 | 40 | 10 |
| Entry3 | 10 | | 20 | 30 | nan |
#+TBLFM: $6=if("$2" == "nan" , string("NP"),($2+$3+$4+$5)/10);E
The column of reference is E1 per default, which is the second one. The
row labeled Entry1 gives the expected result, NP, since its E1 entry is
empty but in the row labeled Entry3 E1 is not empty, so the second part
of the statement should be applied resulting in 6, but it does not it
results in nan, which I don't understand. The fact that E2 ($3) is empty
should be irrelevant here, but it is not.
On the other hand
| Name | E1 | E2 | E3 | E4 | Res |
|--------+----+----+----+----+-----|
| Entry1 | | | | | NP |
| Entry2 | 10 | 20 | 30 | 40 | 10 |
| Entry3 | 10 | 0 | 20 | 30 | 6 |
#+TBLFM: $6=if("$2" == "nan" , string("NP"),($2+$3+$4+$5)/10);E
Gives the expected result, that is adding 0 to E2 in row Entry3.
I am puzzled

Ah, okay, I understand now. Thanks.
I see that you have been given a solution elsewhere using vmean but
you could also consider adding "N" to the expression (i.e. after
;E). This would make the empty entries be treated as having a 0 value
so your check for nan would no longer work but you could always check
for 0... The following works:
| Name | E1 | E2 | E3 | E4 | Res |
|--------+----+----+----+----+-----|
| Entry1 | | | | | NP |
| Entry2 | 10 | 20 | 30 | 40 | 10 |
| Entry3 | 10 | | 20 | 30 | 6 |
#+TBLFM: $6=if("$2" == "(0)" , string("NP"),($2+$3+$4+$5)/10);EN
HTH,
eric
