[O] how to refer row's by name in a spreadsheet formula?

2011-07-07 Thread jiangzuo...@gmail.com
Hi list,

Formulas reference in a long table are very easy corrupted by manually
inserting. so, I think, refer using name instead of num. is better.

but how to refer the rows by name?

For example,

|---+--+-++-+--|
| ! | date | amount  | item   | account | note |
|   | date | amount  | item   | account | note |
|---+--+-++-+--|
| _ |  | bamount || |  |
|   |  | 12  | lunch  | pocket  |  |
|   |  | 59  | dinner | pocket  |  |
| ^ |  | eamount || |  |
|---+--+-++-+--|
| _ |  | total   || |  |
| # |  | #ERROR  || |  |
|---+--+-++-+--|
#+TBLFM: $total=vsum($bamount..$eamount);%.2f

I'd expected $bamount..$eamount is the range of @II$amount..@III$amount, but
it's not. $bamount and $eamount are epxanded to the values too early.

Re: [O] Largest org file you have + performance

My largest org file is QuanSongCi.org, contains ci poetry of Song dynasty,
about 6MB size.

Editing in emacs is very slow, save needs to wait about minutes. convert to
html needs to wait about minutes, too. So, sometimes, sed like tools is
preferred to do editing and converting.
