Subject: Computing the value of some cells of a table using a named code block
Date: Wed, 02 Apr 2014 13:58:09 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <m2k3b86izy.fsf@polytechnique.org> (raw)
Hello,
I have a table that summarizes my monthly budget, and I would like to
add a column where I compute my actual spending. I can get this
information using a shell script, but I don't know how to integrate it
in the table.
Here is a contrived example:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
#+name: spending
#+begin_src sh :var category="foo"
echo $category
#+end_src
| Category | Budget | Spending |
|----------+--------+----------|
| Food | 1000 | |
| Rent | 1000 | |
#+TBLFM: $3=call_spending("$1")
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
My question is: how do I write the TBLFM so that every cell of column
3 is the result of call the named block with column 1 as argument?
Thanks,
Alan
