[tables, babel] evaluate code block in table with arguments

[Dirk Scharff]

Hi all,

I want to use a code-block in a table and can't get it to work. Consider the following example: 

--------------------------------------------------------
#+Source: the_test
#+begin_src python :var x=3 :results output
print x
#+end_src

| argument | argument | result |
|        1 |        1 | #ERROR |
|        2 |        2 |        |
#+TBLFM: $2=$<::$3=call_the_test(x=$<)
--------------------------------------------------------

How can I address the the argument on the left hand side of the table while calling a code block? If I do it like shown in the example (column 2) I get the following error:
"reference '$<' not found in this buffer".

Isn't this possible in org-mode or am I doing something wrong?

Regards,
Dirk.

Use `sbe' to make calls inside tables; see

Hi Sebastien,

thanks for pointing me to that macro. $3='(sbe the_test( x $< )) does
exactly what I wanted.

best regards,

Dirk
