Excellent point! That fits the other examples as well.
I thought the header required an extra character in another column to
trigger.
I frequently use horizontal lines to trigger calculation using the
relative range for lines above the current cell, like so:
| | | | |
|---+-------+---+-------|
| 1 | derp | 3 | 3 |
| 2 | derp2 | 5 | 10 |
|---+-------+---+-------|
| | | | 13.00 |
#+TBLFM: $4=$1*$3::@4$4=vsum(@-I..@-II);%0.2f
Perhaps someone knows a better way?
