Formulas can reference the value of another field in two ways. Like in
|
|
|
any other spreadsheet, you may reference fields with a letter/number
|
|
|
combination like @code{B3}, meaning the 2nd field in the 3rd row.
|
|
|
-@c Such references are always fixed to that field, they don't change
|
|
|
-@c when you copy and paste a formula to a different field. So
|
|
|
-@c Org's @code{B3} behaves like @code{$B$3} in other spreadsheets.
|
|
|
|
|
|
@noindent
|
|
|
-Org also uses another, more general operator that looks like this:
|
|
|
+@vindex org-table-use-standard-references
|
|
|
+Org prefers@footnote{Org will understand references typed by the user as
|
|
|
+@samp{B4}, but it will not use this syntax when offering a formula for
|
|
|
+editing. You can customize this behavior using the variable
|
|
|
+@code{org-table-use-standard-references}.} to use another, more general
|
|
|
+operator that looks like this:

@@@var{row}$@var{column}
