Greetings I am looking for a lookup function for tables in org-mode. In the past I have used a spreadsheet to keep track of student grades and then had a table that contained cut points and grades. Assigning grades was simple because the formula would simply look up the student's grade in the cut points table and assign the appropriate letter grade. In Yicksel, also known as Excel, the function would be =vlookup(<target>,<lookup range>,<column to return>). If I need to "tweak" my grade distribution to satisfy an anal retentive Registrar type, I can do so by altering the cut points. Now that I am using org-mode and emacs for everything else, thought it would be interesting to keep my grade book in it too.
I've looked at the org-mode manual for the spreadsheet functions as well as looked in the GNU Emacs Calc manual for such a function but to no avail. Does such a function exist in org-mode?
