Hi,

Is there a way to use a constant directly in a table column?
I need to have a table where one of the columns can have one out of three
possible values and wanted to use constants for this.
>From the following minimal example it appears that constants are only
possible in formulas, or am I missing something?

#+CONSTANTS: vat=1.21
| 12.34 | $vat | #ERROR | 14.9314 |
#+TBLFM: $3=$1*$2::$4=$1*$vat

Using the $vat constant directly from the content of column 3 produces an
error, using it from a formula works fine.

If this is the way it is, I'll have to write a formula for each row of the
column, that'd be a real pitty...

Please advise

TIA, Guido
