Hi

I have a simple need (from a requirement description point).

I have table like

| foo       | amount |
|-----------+--------|
|           |    <5> |
| hello     |    100 |
| again     |    200 |
| once more |    300 |
|           |        |
|           |        |

I need to be able sum those numbers and say 600 somewhere (I am ok if it 
does in the same table or outside of it)

When I add a new row, say

| foo       | amount |
|-----------+--------|
|           |    <5> |
| hello     |    100 |
| again     |    200 |
| once more |    300 |
| qqq       |    100 |
|           |        |

Now I need to be able to change the 600 to 700 (by pressing C-c C-c 
somewhere)

I am finding it hard to figure out how to do this.

Press C-c C-c on the TBLFM line after every change:
| foo       | amount |
|-----------+--------|
| hello     |    100 |
| again     |    200 |
| once more |    300 |
|-----------+--------|
|           |    600 |
#+TBLFM: $LR2 = vsum(@I$2..@-1$2)

I don't think `<5>' is of any use in this case.

You find information about that in the manual under "spreadsheet".

It seems all my issues were due to me trying to use
sum
instead of
vsum


Thanks for all the replies
