[O] Org table: reuse formula in non-rectangular range

[Jarmo Hurri]

Greetings.

I have a situation where I need to use the same table formula all over
the place in a table. The problem is that "all over the place" is not
rectangular - if it were, this would be trivial.

I can see two possible solutions, but I don't know if either of them is
possible in Org.

1. A non-rectangular range on the left hand side of a formula. This
   would be the best choice if it were available.

2. The possibility to create a shorthand (macro) for the formula so that
   it would be easier to reuse the formula in a large number of
   rectangular ranges.

Is either of these feasible?
