Hi,

Here's what I'm trying to do (without success) in my spreadsheet:

I have a first table :

#+TBLNAME: table1
| ... |... |.... |...|...

and a second table:

#+TBLNAME: table2
| line_reference | ... |... |.... |...|...

The line_reference is the line number to get some information in the 
table1. So in a cell of the table2, I tried  a formula like: 
remote(table1,@$1$3) ($1 = the line_reference) which of course, didn't work.

then I tried to use elisp: remote(table1,'(concat "@" $1 "$3")') .... 
but no success anyway.

after all, I decided to merge my 2 tables because it looks like I can 
use elisp inside a org function (remote). The last tried formula was: 
'(concat "@" $1 "$3")'  ,($1 = the line_reference). The problem of this 
formula is only that I got the string "@2$3" inside the cell and it's 
not evaluated as a formula.

Could anyone give me some hint to get done what I'm trying to do?

regards,
Alan

What I do, which works:

- give a name to the cell in table1
- reference it (in table2) by its name

Hi Sébastien and thank you for your answer.

The problem with that technique is that I'll have to name ALL the cell 
for ALL the colomn. Here's an example of my table:

#+TBLNAME: FOOD
  | Name            | Brand         | Amounts (g) | Calories | Protein | 
Carbohydrate |  Fat |
  
|-----------------+---------------+-------------+----------+---------+--------------+------|
  | Poitrine Poulet     | KirkLand      |         100 |      100 |      
24 |            0 |    1 |
  | Capeli d'angelo    | Primo         |          85 |      300 |      
10 |           63 |    1 |
  | Couscous              | Clic          |          62 |      220 
|       8 |           46 |    1 |
  | Fromage Cottage | Sealtest      |         125 |      100 |      15 
|            8 |    1 |
  | Ficello                   | Black Diamond |          21 |       60 
|       6 |            0 |    4 |
  | Concombre cru    |               |         100 |       15 |    0.65 
|         3.63 | 0.11 |
  | Clementine cru    |               |         100 |       47 |    0.85 
|        12.02 | 0.15 |

In the table 2, I would like to be able to just set a column to ie. 2 
(for "Poitrine Poulet"), then I'll be able to get all the  info of the 
different columns I need to do my calculs. I see there is also a "_" 
option for row name, but I'm unsure on how to specify the column desired 
with that name and how to get it evaluated if I need to concat something...

regards,
Alan

Hi Alan,

seems what you're looking for is some relational database functionality, which
is not possible with org spreadsheets :-(

Find a possible solution for your problem in the attached org file.  You will
need org-babel to execute the source blocks.

hth,
	Stephan

* select from where
  To execute the source blocks load org-babel and hit "C-c C-C" with
  point inside the block.

  The following function implements a simple SELECT-FROM-WHERE clause
  for remote org-tables:
#+srcname: my-select-from-where
#+begin_src emacs-lisp :tangle no :results silent
  (require 'org-babel-ref)
  
  (defun my-select-from-where (select-column table-name where-column where-entry)
    "Get an entry of a remote table with #+TBLNAME: `table-name'
  using a simple where clause:
  
  SELECT select-column FROM table-name WHERE where-column = where-entry
  
  `select-column' and `where-column' are zero-based indices (first
  column has index 0).  The test is done using `equal'.
  
  Example:
  For the following tabe
  
  ,#+TBLNAME: mytable
  | 0815 | foo |
  | 4711 | bar |
  
  the function call
  
    (my-select-from-where 1 \"mytable\" 0 4711)
  
  returns \"bar\"."
    (let ((table (org-babel-ref-resolve-reference table-name nil))
          select-entry)
      (dolist (row table)
        (if (equal (nth where-column row) where-entry)
            (if (null select-entry)
                (setq select-entry (nth select-column row))
              (error "where-entry is not unique"))))
      select-entry))
#+end_src
  This requires the column which is used for indexing to have unique
  entries.

  Let's take this table for testing:
#+TBLNAME: mytable1
| 0815 | foo |
| 4711 | bar |

  First select the second column of the row where the first column
  equals 0815, then select the first column of the row where the
  second column equals "foo":
#+srcname: test-select
#+begin_src emacs-lisp :tangle no
  (list
   (my-select-from-where 1 "mytable1" 0 0815)
   (my-select-from-where 0 "mytable1" 1 "foo"))
#+end_src


  Unfortunately, a table name ("mytable1") is replaced by something
  obscure, when we use it in the #+TBLFM line.  Also, the function
  my-select-from-where converts numeric table entries to a numeric
  type, in contrast to the referencing in the #+TBLFM line.  These
  helper functions work around these problems:
#+srcname: my-select-from-where-helpers
#+begin_src emacs-lisp :tangle no :results silent
  (defun my-select-1-from-table-where-0= (where-entry)
    (my-select-from-where 1 "mytable1" 0
                          (if (numberp where-entry) where-entry
                            (string-to-number where-entry))))
  
  (defun my-select-0-from-table-where-1= (where-entry)
    (my-select-from-where 0 "mytable1" 1 where-entry))
#+end_src

  Testing the helpers:
#+srcname: test-helpers
#+begin_src emacs-lisp :tangle no
  (list
    (my-select-1-from-table-where-0= 4711)
    (my-select-0-from-table-where-1= "bar"))
#+end_src


  Now we can reference remote table rows using a dynamic index (press
  "C-c C-c" in the #+TBLFM line):
#+TBLNAME: mytable2
| 4711 |   |   |
| 0815 |   |   |
#+TBLFM: $2='(my-select-1-from-table-where-0= $1)::$3='(my-select-0-from-table-where-1= $2)

Hi Alan,

I think what you would have to do is to build a lisp function that  
creates the full reference by string manipulation, and then calls org- 
table-get-remote-range directly to retrieve the result.

That function returns a string or a list of strings, so conversion  
might be needed depending on how you use the result.

Thanks for your help Carsten, Stephan and Sébastien. I'm going to take a look 
at your suggestions and see what I can do.
