Hi, Uwe,
Three ideas:
1. Since your solution depends on the row number (@#) in any case, your
use case does not actually depend on hline-relative references, does
it? Then you can also assign to absolute row numbers, either by
- assigning to the range rather than to the colum, which is not
possible with hline relative references (the obvious
@II$1..@>$1=@#-1+572 is not allowed), but with an absolute start
reference it works:
| Nr |
|-----|
| |
|-----|
| 574 |
| 575 |
| 576 |
| 577 |
#+TBLFM: @3$1..@>$1=@#-1+572
- or assigning to the row first, then assigning the content between
the hlines to that cell (perhaps a fragile solution).
| Nr |
|-----|
| |
|-----|
| 574 |
| 575 |
| 576 |
| 577 |
#+TBLFM: $1=@#-1+572::@2$1=string("")
2. Use a conditional to avoid changing the cell between the hlines, e.g.:
| Nr |
|-----|
| foo |
|-----|
| 574 |
| 575 |
| 576 |
| 577 |
#+TBLFM: $1=if(@# < 3, @0$1, @#+571)
Here, I use @0$1 to replace that cell with itself. If the cell is empty,
this evaluates as 0, so if you want an empty string, use string("")
instead of @0$1.
3. Add a first column with special marking characters (see Org manual:
Spreadsheet: Advanced features), leaving empty the cell between the
hlines so it won't get recalculated.
| | Nr |
|---+-----|
| | |
|---+-----|
| * | 574 |
| * | 575 |
| * | 576 |
| * | 577 |
#+TBLFM: $2=@#-1+572
Yours,
Christian
