Hi,
I've just started with org-mode and have done several tutorials. But I'm
stuck with this problem for 3 hours :
I have :
| item | quantity |
|---------+----------|
| laptop | 4 |
| desktop | 7 |
|---------+----------|
| Total | 11 |
#+TBLFM: @4$2=vsum(@I..@II)
I insert a new line [because I will want to add a new item] (M-S down) and
update the table (C-u C-c C-c) :
| item | quantity |
|---------+----------|
| laptop | 4 |
| desktop | 7 |
| | 11 |
|---------+----------|
| Total | 11 |
#+TBLFM: @4$2=vsum(@I..@II)
but my formula isn't updated automatically so the wrong field is updated. I
would like the formula to become @5$2 instead of @4$2 automatically.
I've searched during 2 hours with google but found nothing :/ ... Is it
possible to do it? Cause It's very annoying to update the formula "by hand"
(sorry for my english).
and just a big thank you for this very powerful extension of emacs ^^.
Thank you in advance for having read,
hoping for an answer if you have a bit time,
Salutation
Matt C

You looked in the wrong place :-) If you look in section 3.5.1,
"References", in the Org manual, you'll find
,----
| As a special case, references like `$LR5' and `$LR12' can be used to
| refer in a stable way to the 5th and 12th field in the last row of the
| table.
`----
So make your formula
#+TBLFM: $LR2=vsum(@I..@II)
HTH,
Nick

Before editing the table make sure there is no blank line between the
table and the line "#+TBLFM: @4$2=vsum(@I..@II)". Then use the
M-S-<down> command.

That's it !!! Big thank you w t ... it was due to that blank line between
table and the line "#+TBLFM"
Thank you Nick Docos too for your reply :)
cheers
