Here is a straightforward spreadsheet:
* Test org-mode spreadsheet for cash books | | Name | Cash | |---+------------------+----------------| | _ | | cashforward | | | | 68000 | | _ | | cashtake | | | cash takings | 2340 | | _ | | cashbank | | | moved to bank | 2000 | |---+------------------+----------------| | _ | | cash | | # | subtotal | 68340 | |---+------------------+----------------| | | emp1 | 315 | | | emp2 | 289 | | | | 0 | | | | 0 | |---+------------------+----------------| | _ | | wages | | # | total wages | 604 | |---+------------------+----------------| | _ | | cashafterwages | | # | Cash After Wages | 67736 | |---+------------------+----------------| #+TBLFM: $cash=$cashforward+$cashtake-$cashbank::$cashafterwages=$cash-$wages::$wages=vsum(@[EMAIL PROTECTED]) My questions are: Can one not actually name a specific cell? Or must the name itself be stored above or below the cell? The wages field : how to generalise this to allow for rows to be added/deleted in the emp1,emp2 block? Or is there a totally better way to do this? I didnt see a way for all fields to auto calculate when a certain field was changed. One has to tab over the "#" in the left hand column. Or? If you can suggest a neater approach please do - this is my first attempt at an org-mode spreadsheet. Oh yes, can one change the enter mode so that the field only edits if you press enter first? And then it preselects the previous contents so a single key other than cursor keys will wipe the previous contents? Currently if I type "5" in the wages field above then, depending where the cursor is, I get (for example) 6504. _______________________________________________ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
