Subject: Bug: Can’t assign to hline relative reference
Date: Wed, 21 Oct 2020 01:14:10 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <NvHfA56QkYYq5VkYfVRzPlk4W9npW78QJi8cb_jp6BYjZSDu2VgYzyF8MLR_GtQCbBWZAQaSP8hdBFFfVXiV5cN52LLv1msWotKYwYU02Oo=@lambda.cx> (raw)
Hello,
I'm trying to create a table where the third column between two hlines is set by a formula referencing the second column.
Here is an example:
| a | b | c |
|-------+-------+--------|
| row 1 | 12.00 | 144.00 |
| row 2 | | 23.00 |
|-------+-------+--------|
| sum | 12.00 | 167.00 |
#+TBLFM: @I$3..II$3=if($2 != 0, 12*$2, $3);%.2f::@4$2=vsum(@I..II);%.2f::@4$3=vsum(@I..II);%.2f
When I try to calculate this table however, I get the error "Can’t assign to hline relative reference".
Why is this now allowed? This seems like a fairly mundane use of a table to me. It is explicitly disabled in the source, but without explanation, and searching the mailing list doesn't turn up many answers.
Is there a recommended way to handle a situation like this?
Could this feature be fixed?
Thank you,
Dante
