Subject: Org table: reuse formula in non-rectangular range
Date: Sun, 13 Aug 2017 09:13:26 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87a834q9kp.fsf@iki.fi> (raw)
Greetings.
I have a situation where I need to use the same table formula all over
the place in a table. The problem is that "all over the place" is not
rectangular - if it were, this would be trivial.
I can see two possible solutions, but I don't know if either of them is
possible in Org.
1. A non-rectangular range on the left hand side of a formula. This
would be the best choice if it were available.
2. The possibility to create a shorthand (macro) for the formula so that
it would be easier to reuse the formula in a large number of
rectangular ranges.
Is either of these feasible?
Jarmo
