I've missed this, but learned to work around it, since I I just assumed that if you hadn't already done it, it was not a reasonable thing to ask for. Testing... So now we can simply do e.g.: #+CAPTION: A multiplication table | | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | |----+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+----| | 1 | | | | | | | | | | | | 2 | | | | | | | | | | | | 3 | | | | | | | | | | | | 4 | | | | | | | | | | | | 5 | | | | | | | | | | | | 6 | | | | | | | | | | | | 7 | | | | | | | | | | | | 8 | | | | | | | | | | | | 9 | | | | | | | | | | | | 10 | | | | | | | | | | | #+TBLFM: @2$2..@11$11=@1*$1 C-c C-c...and hey presto: #+CAPTION: A multiplication table | | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | |----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+-----| | 1 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | | 2 | 2 | 4 | 6 | 8 | 10 | 12 | 14 | 16 | 18 | 20 | | 3 | 3 | 6 | 9 | 12 | 15 | 18 | 21 | 24 | 27 | 30 | | 4 | 4 | 8 | 12 | 16 | 20 | 24 | 28 | 32 | 36 | 40 | | 5 | 5 | 10 | 15 | 20 | 25 | 30 | 35 | 40 | 45 | 50 | | 6 | 6 | 12 | 18 | 24 | 30 | 36 | 42 | 48 | 54 | 60 | | 7 | 7 | 14 | 21 | 28 | 35 | 42 | 49 | 56 | 63 | 70 | | 8 | 8 | 16 | 24 | 32 | 40 | 48 | 56 | 64 | 72 | 80 | | 9 | 9 | 18 | 27 | 36 | 45 | 54 | 63 | 72 | 81 | 90 | | 10 | 10 | 20 | 30 | 40 | 50 | 60 | 70 | 80 | 90 | 100 | #+TBLFM: @2$2..@11$11=@1*$1 Yours, Christian On 3/1/11 3:28 PM, Carsten Dominik wrote: > Hi everyone, > > A frequently requested feature for tables has been to > be able to define row formulas in a way similar to column > formulas.
