Basically, I converted a bunch of my old spreadsheets to org-spreadsheet-tables. Can anbody give me some examples of how they use the Properties and Columns stuff - it looks like that would be way more flexible and useful than what = I did with all my spreadsheets... How would you do calculations for calculated or derived data from the data points you do gather? (for example, I do lean body mass calculations based on a number of physical metrics I gather each day...) I like the stuff I read, but I am not certain how to implement it. Dennis
