Sorry but I don't understand "in the first row up". Maybe better: The
(or a) row up, 3...
Another grievance with such a terse description for me is although it
may describe the end result - the range - correctly but does not take
into account how the references at hand are working.
But maybe I'm just picking nits here :-)
What about such an approach:
@@-1$-2..@@-1 @r{a range of 3 fields: a row up, from 2 fields on the left .. a
row up}
