Yes, this issue has been resolved by Carsten with
release_7.7-420-g1432e4b

 

I'm using org 7.8.03 but the issue is still there.

The general solution for a Calc formula is e. g. with subvec as I
described here:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2011-11/msg00562.html
and in a similar sense as I described for subscr in the subsection
"Dynamic variation of ranges" here:
http://orgmode.org/worg/org-hacks.html#field-coordinates-in-formulas

The general solution for a Lisp formula is e. g. with calc-subvector I
guess.

The following simpler solution is only possible when the range is
relative to the field where the formula is evaluated in and when the
offset to the range border is static:

|---+-----|
| a | abc |
| b | bcd |
| c | cde |
| d |     |
| e |     |
|---+-----|
#+TBLFM: @<$2..@>>>$2 = '(concat @address@hidden)

With a remote table you can not use the simple solution.

As mentioned in my emails a while ago, @> still evaluates to the number of rows in the current table (from where the reference is being made) instead of the number of rows in the remote table being referenced.
