Re: [O] table formula help...

[Thierry Banel]

To elaborate on Michael's first suggestion,
we will first give a name ("work") to the table:

  #+TBLNAME: work
  | Chars | Lines | Translator      |
  |-------+-------+-----------------|
  |       |    84 | Austin Woerner  |
  |  6633 |       | Eric Abrahamsen |
  | 16984 |       | Canaan Morse    |
  |       |    24 | Lucas Klein     |
  |       |    10 | Lucas Klein     |

Then typing C-c C-x i and answering the wizard questions,
we get a new table as follow:

  #+BEGIN: aggregate :table "work" :cols "Translator sum(Chars) sum(Lines)"
  | Translator      | sum(Chars) | sum(Lines) |
  |-----------------+------------+------------|
  | Austin Woerner  | NA         | 84         |
  | Eric Abrahamsen | 6633       | NA         |
  | Canaan Morse    | 16984      | NA         |
  | Lucas Klein     | 2 NA       | 34         |
  #+END:

Whenever you change the "work" table,
you can easily refresh the aggregated table by typing C-c C-c

To install the orgtbl-aggregate module,
add those lines to your .emacs:

  (require 'package)
  (add-to-list 'package-archives '("melpa" .
"http://melpa.milkbox.net/packages/";) t)
  (package-initialize)

Then type M-x package-list-packages
and install orgtbl-aggregate

Have fun
Thierry
