is possible to define the reference to the last row of the following @II+$3, to avoid
having to change the number of row (@4$3)?

in this example does not calculate:

  | date             | item          |    cost |
  |------------------+---------------+---------|
  | [2012-03-01 jue] | item 1        |   30.00 |
  | [2012-03-01 jue] | item 2        |   20.00 |
  |------------------+---------------+---------|
  |                  |               |   30.00 |
  #+TBLFM: @II+$3=vsum(@I..@II);%0.2f

thanks!

It should be '@II+1$3' according to documentation, but anyway it
doesn't get evaluated.

However, '@>$3' (meaning the last row, col 3) does get evaluated
correctly.

In any case, if you add/remove rows/columns using M-S-arrows, the
absolute formula references get updated accordingly (e.g. formula at
@4$3 goes to @5$3 after inserting a row).
