* Using last row in remote table references

Hello all,

Should I be able to use @> in references to remote tables? 

For example in the tables below I would expect the results table to show "cde" as the result of both formulas. 

#+TBLNAME: TEST1
|---+---|
| a | f |
| b | g |
| c | h |
| d | i |
| e | j |
|---+---|
 
#+TBLNAME: RESULTS
|--------------|
| Formula test |
|--------------|
| cde          |
| abc          |
|--------------|
#+TBLFM: @2$1='(concat remote(TEST1, @3$1..@5$1))::@3$1='(concat remote(TEST1, @3$1..@>$1))

Is there a syntax I should be using if I want to get all the entries in a table below a certain row without explicitly entering the number of the last row?

Thanks in advance

Phil Mason

Yes, this issue has been resolved by Carsten with
release_7.7-420-g1432e4b

The general solution for a Calc formula is e. g. with subvec as I
described here:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2011-11/msg00562.html
and in a similar sense as I described for subscr in the subsection
"Dynamic variation of ranges" here:
http://orgmode.org/worg/org-hacks.html#field-coordinates-in-formulas

The general solution for a Lisp formula is e. g. with calc-subvector I
guess.

The following simpler solution is only possible when the range is
relative to the field where the formula is evaluated in and when the
offset to the range border is static:

|---+-----|
| a | abc |
| b | bcd |
| c | cde |
| d |     |
| e |     |
|---+-----|
#+TBLFM: @<$2..@>>>$2 = '(concat @0$1..@+2$1)

With a remote table you can not use the simple solution.

I'm using org 7.8.03 but the issue is still there.

As mentioned in my emails a while ago, @> still evaluates to the number of
rows in the current table (from where the reference is being made) instead
of the number of rows in the remote table being referenced.

I can not reproduce with release_7.8.02-13-g0c09a.dirty:

|--------|
| Amount |
|--------|
|    130 |
|--------|
|        |
|--------|
#+TBLFM: @2$1=remote(xyz,@>$1)

#+TBLNAME: xyz
|--------|
|   -200 |
|    120 |
|    -75 |
|     -5 |
|    130 |
|--------|

Maybe check your Org mode installation upgrade, make etc. Search for
"M-x locate-library RET org" for more information.

Turns out it was indeed the issue.
I was working on one of the machines where I still had an older version of
org.
