I never seem to use the spreadsheet unless it's some horribly complicated thing I don't know how to calculate... Can someone lend me a hand?
I'm calculating payment rates for contributors (actually translators) to a magazine. I've got two tables: The first is essentially a table of contents, listing pieces with their character count (prose), or line count (poetry), plus who translated it. The second is a list of translators, with their total character/line count, and how much they're owed. I'm having a hell of a time getting the column formulas right: specifically referencing one table from another. The first table looks like this: #+NAME: counts | Piece | Chars | Lines | Translator | +----------------+--------+-------+------------------+ | 凤凰 | | 84 | Austin Woerner | | 王血 | 6633 | | Eric Abrahamsen | | 赵氏孤儿 | 16984 | | Canaan Morse | | 山鬼故家 | | 24 | Lucas Klein | | 寂静何其深沉 | | 10 | Lucas Klein | And the second: #+NAME: payments #+CONSTANTS: prose=0.7 poetry=10 | Translator | Total Chars | Total Lines | Payment | |------------------+-------------+-------------+---------| | Austin Woerner | | | | | Eric Abrahamsen | | | | | Canaan Morse | | | | | Lucas Klein | | | | In this second table, the formula I want for the "Total Chars" column is: "Set each row of $2 in table payments to the sum of all numbers in $2 of remote(counts), if $2 is not empty, and if $4 of remote(counts) is equal to $1 of table payments." The formula for "Total Lines" would be exactly the same, but with the $2s all switched to $3. I can handle adding up the amounts! Is it possible to iterate over all the rows in another table like this? Is there a better way I could be arranging my tables? Thanks for any tips! Eric
