equivalent of VLOOKUP (in ods) to org-table

equivalent of VLOOKUP (in ods) to org-table

Hi

I have regularly to deal with large tables, that I split in smaller ones and then try to connect them.

I have to export the resulting big table to ods, and in the ods case, I have several sheets and use the 
VLOOKUP command, like this

#+begin_src 
#+Name: table1
| Name   | Ex1 | Ex2 | Ex2 | Ex4 | Ex5 | ResSh1 |
|--------+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+--------|
| Smith  |   2 |   3 |   4 |   6 |   7 |     22 |
| Miller |   2 |  10 |   1 |   1 |   5 |     19 |
| Wick   |   1 |   2 |   3 |  10 |   2 |     18 |
#+TBLFM: $7=vsum($2..$6);f2


#+Name: table2   
| Name   | Ex1 | Ex2 | Ex2 | Ex4 | Ex5 | ResSh2 |
|--------+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+--------|
| Smith  |   8 |   3 |   5 |   8 |   9 |     33 |
| Miller |   2 |   1 |   6 |   9 |   3 |     21 |
| Wick   |   1 |   5 |   9 |   1 |   2 |     18 |
#+TBLFM: $7=vsum($2..$6);f2

| Name   |   | ResSh1                                          | ResSh2                                          | Total       |
|--------+---+-------------------------------------------------+-------------------------------------------------+-------------|
| Smith  | 3 | /=VLOOKUP(final.A2,table1.$A$1:$G$3,7,FALSE())/ | /=VLOOKUP(final.A2,table2.$A$1:$G$3,7,FALSE())/ | =SUM(C2:D2) |
| Miller | 3 | /=VLOOKUP(final.A3,table1.$A$1:$G$3,7,FALSE())/ | /=VLOOKUP(final.A3,table2.$A$1:$G$3,5,FALSE())/ | =SUM(C3:D3) |
| Wick   | 4 | /=VLOOKUP(final.A4,table1.$A$1:$G$4,7,FALSE())/ | /=VLOOKUP(final.A4,table2.$A$1:$G$4,7,FALSE())/ | =SUM(C4:D4) |
#+TBLFM: $5=SUM(@4$3:@4$4)
#+end_src


Maybe there are other solution in ods I don't  know, so the question is what is equivalent of VLOOKUP in org.

I came up with the remote command that results in a similar result, (I did not want to use third party packages like 
orgtbl-aggregate. 

#+begin_src 
#+Name: table1
| Name   | Ex1 | Ex2 | Ex2 | Ex4 | Ex5 | ResSh1 |
|--------+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+--------|
| Smith  |   2 |   3 |   4 |   6 |   7 |     22 |
| Miller |   2 |  10 |   1 |   1 |   5 |     19 |
| Wick   |   1 |   2 |   3 |  10 |   2 |     18 |
#+TBLFM: $7=vsum($2..$6);f2


#+Name: table2   
| Name   | Ex1 | Ex2 | Ex2 | Ex4 | Ex5 | ResSh2 |
|--------+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+--------|
| Smith  |   8 |   3 |   5 |   8 |   9 |     33 |
| Miller |   9 |   4 |   6 |   9 |   3 |     31 |
| Wick   |   1 |   5 |   9 |   1 |   2 |     18 |
|--------+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+--------|
#+TBLFM: $7=vsum($2..$6);f2

#+Name: final
| Name   | Some | ResSh1 | ResSh2 | Final |
|--------+------+--------+--------+-------|
| Smith  |    4 |     22 |     33 |    59 |
| Miller |    4 |     19 |     31 |    54 |
| Wick   |    4 |     18 |     18 |    40 |
|--------+------+--------+--------+-------|
#+TBLFM: $3=remote(table1,@@#$7)::$4=remote(table2,@@#$7)::$5=vsum($2..$4);f2
#+end_src


The syntax with @@#$7 look cryptic to me, but I found it somewhere and it works
if somebody can suggest a simpler command that is closer to VLOOKUP I would be grateful

Thanks and regards

Did you check these lookup functions in the Org manual?

   (info "(org) Lookup functions")

Yes of course, but I am unable to obtain the same result as I do using
the remote call.

I ask differently why does the following solution not work

#+Name: table1
| Name   | Ex1 | Ex2 | Ex2 | Ex4 | Ex5 | ResSh1 |
|--------+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+--------|
| Smith  |   2 |   3 |   4 |   6 |   7 |     22 |

#+TBLFM: $7=vsum($2..$6);f2



#+Name: final
| Name   | Some | ResSh1       |
|--------+------+--------------|
| Smith  |    4 | [22, 19, 18] |
| Miller |    4 | [22, 19, 18] |
| Wick   |    4 | [22, 19, 18] |
|--------+------+--------------|
#+TBLFM: @2$3..@>$3=remote(table1,@2$7..@>$7)

But this solution does, what does @@#$7 mean?

#+Name: final2

Did you try something like this ?

   #+NAME: table1
   | Name   | Ex1 | Ex2 | Ex2 | Ex4 | Ex5 | ResSh1 |
   |--------+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+--------|
   | Smith  |   2 |   3 |   4 |   6 |   7 |     22 |

   #+TBLFM: $7=vsum($2..$6);f2


   #+NAME: table2   
   | Name   | Ex1 | Ex2 | Ex2 | Ex4 | Ex5 | ResSh2 |
   |--------+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+--------|
   | Smith  |   8 |   3 |   5 |   8 |   9 |     33 |
   | Miller |   2 |   1 |   6 |   9 |   3 |     21 |
   | Wick   |   1 |   5 |   9 |   1 |   2 |     18 |
   #+TBLFM: $7=vsum($2..$6);f2

   | Name   |   | ResSh1 | ResSh2 | Total |
   |--------+---+--------+--------+-------|
   | Smith  | 4 |     22 |     33 |    59 |
   | Miller | 4 |     19 |     21 |    44 |
   | Wick   | 4 |     18 |     18 |    40 |
   #+TBLFM: $3='(org-lookup-first $1 '(remote(table1, @I$1..@II$1)) '(remote(table1, @I$7..@II$7)))
   #+TBLFM: $5=vsum($2..$4)

IIUC, it seems to be the result that you're expecting.

The ref "remote(table1,@2$7..@>$7)" targets a range, containing all fields of
colum 7.  So, for each field, you get the same value: an array
containing all the field values: [22, 19, 19].


>

See (info "(org) References"), in the section:
   "Field coordinates in formulas"

"‘@#’ is substituted with the row number of the field where the
current result will go to".

> #+TBLFM: @2$3..@>$3=remote(table1,@@#$7)

With this formula, your remote reference targets the field, that is in
the same row number as the computed field in final.

Here is the same table, with some extra columns that show the
intermediate steps:

   #+Name: final2
   | Name   | Some | ResSh1 | What is '@#'? | Which ref? |
   |--------+------+--------+---------------+------------|
   | Smith  |    4 |     22 |             2 | @2$7       |
   | Miller |    4 |     19 |             3 | @3$7       |
   | Wick   |    4 |     18 |             4 | @4$7       |
   |--------+------+--------+---------------+------------|
   #+TBLFM: @2$3..@>$3=remote(table1,@@#$7)
   #+TBLFM: @2$4..@>$4=@#
   #+TBLFM: @2$5..@>$5='(concat "@" (format "%d" @#) "$" "7")

Oops no I tried 

$3='(org-lookup-first '(remote(table1, @1$7..@4$7)))

And that gave error

So thanks a lot

Aha, and has the benefit that the lookup call is not needed, but is more cryptic thanks for clarifying this.

You forgot to update the column numbers: the names to look for are now in
the column '2', and, the totals are now in column '8'. This should work:


    #+TBLFM: $3='(org-lookup-first $2 '(remote(Table1A, @I$2..@II$2)) '(remote(Table1A, @I$8..@II$8)))
    #+TBLFM: $4='(org-lookup-first $2 '(remote(Table2A, @I$2..@II$2)) '(remote(Table2A, @I$8..@II$8)))
    #+TBLFM: $5=vsum($3..$4);f2

Arg 😨


I even tried 
#+TBLFM: $3='(org-lookup-first $2 '(remote(Table1A, @I$1..@II$1))'(remote(Table1A, @I$8..@II$8)))
#+TBLFM:$4='(org-lookup-first $2 '(remote(Table2A, @I$1..@II$1)) '(remote(Table2A, @I$8..@II$8)))
#+TBLFM:$5=vsum($3..$4);f2


So I changed 

    1. $7-->$8 

    2. but *not* $1-->$2

Thanks very much

Uwe
