Re: property constants in elisp formulas

["Eddward DeVilla" <eddward@gmail.com>]

Now, just as a stupid question, if I put a lisp expression into a
property, can I use it in a formula?

===== sample ========
* top
  :PROPERTIES:
  :fives:    (0  8  16)
  :fours:    (2  18 58)
  :threes:   (6  11 33)
  :twos:     (3  13 36)
  :ones:     (0  13 59)
  :zeros:    (0  6  23)
  :null:     (17 8  59)
  :END:

*** test 1
    |   | day | hour | minute |
    |---+-----+------+--------|
    | # |   0 |    8 |     16 |
    | # |   2 |   18 |     58 |
    | # |   6 |   11 |     33 |
    | # |   3 |   13 |     36 |
    | # |   0 |   13 |     59 |
    | # |   0 |    6 |     23 |
    | # |  17 |    8 |     59 |
#+TBLFM: @2$2='(car   '$PROP_fives)::@2$3='(cadr
'$PROP_fives)::@2$4='(caddr '$PROP_fives)::@3$2='(car
'$PROP_fours)::@3$3='(cadr  '$PROP_fours)::@3$4='(caddr
'$PROP_fours)::@4$2='(car   '$PROP_threes)::@4$3='(cadr
'$PROP_threes)::@4$4='(caddr '$PROP_threes)::@5$2='(car
'$PROP_twos)::@5$3='(cadr  '$PROP_twos)::@5$4='(caddr
'$PROP_twos)::@6$2='(car   '$PROP_ones)::@6$3='(cadr
'$PROP_ones)::@6$4='(caddr '$PROP_ones)::@7$2='(car
'$PROP_zeros)::@7$3='(cadr  '$PROP_zeros)::@7$4='(caddr
'$PROP_zeros)::@8$2='(car   '$PROP_null)::@8$3='(cadr
'$PROP_null)::@8$4='(caddr '$PROP_null)

==========================

Also, in the above example, the property values were aligned for me.
In my previous example, that didn't happen.  It seems that the
alignment code does like underscores in names

===== sample ======
* top
  :PROPERTIES:
  :fives:    0  8  16
  :d_5: 0
  :fours:    2  18 58
  :END:

=================

Lastly, since I'm whining, there's a bug in the formula editor that
I'm not sure if I've mentioned before.  Edit the table below with C-c
'.  The '(@-I$2..$2) will become '(@-I$2..B&) which causes #ERRORs.

  :fours:    2  18 58

  :ones:     0  13 59
  :zeros:    0  6  23
  :null:     17 8  59
  :END:
