Hi again, I write you again, perhaps this time somebody can help me solve the problem. Suppose I have a list like this * TODO vĂȘtements [0/0] :total: :PROPERTIES: :total: 0 :END: - pour week end - [ ] X 30 - [X] Y 80 - [ ] Z 100 - [ ] W 20 - pour les loisirs - [X] X 30 - [ ] Y 80 - [ ] Z 10 - pour la maison: - [ ] pantoufle 25 I want to add all values of the fields that are crossed and keep the sum into the value of the property 'total'. Is it possible to do it using org mode ? I looked over many documents, but not found. Other problem, suppose I have this table inside the same file. | | quoi | prix | |---+-------+---------| | | X | 500 | | | Y | 700 | | | Z | 100 | | | W | 100 | | | T | 100 | |---+-------+---------| | # | Total | 1500 | | ^ | | montant | #+TBLFM: $montant='(+ @I..@II);N I wish to sum the value of the variable $montant with the value of the property 'total' from the other part (from the list), and use the result in other computations. Are these things possible using org mode ? I looked today over some examples of babel language, but I did not find what I need. Thanks in advance for any help.
