org-table-transpose-table-at-point does not convert formulas

org-table-transpose-table-at-point does not convert formulas

[Uwe Brauer]

Hi

Starting with this 
#+begin_src 

| pos | rango | weight |
|-----+-------+--------|
|  23 |   329 |    307 |
|  71 |   329 |    259 |
|  77 |   333 |    257 |
|  58 |   333 |    276 |
| 155 |   310 |    156 |
| 164 |   325 |    162 |
| 203 |   330 |    128 |
#+TBLFM: $3=($2+1)-$1
#+end_src

org-table-transpose-table-at-point leads to 
#+begin_src 
| pos    |  23 |  71 |  77 |  58 | 155 | 164 | 203 |
| rango  | 329 | 329 | 333 | 333 | 310 | 325 | 330 |
| weight | 307 | 259 | 257 | 276 | 156 | 162 | 128 |
#+TBLFM: $3=($2+1)-$1
#+end_src


However the correct formula should have been
#+begin_src 
|-------+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----|
| pos   |  23 |  71 |  77 |  58 | 155 | 164 | 203 |
| rango | 329 | 329 | 333 | 333 | 310 | 325 | 330 |
| peso  | 307 | 259 | 257 | 276 | 156 | 162 | 128 |
#+TBLFM: @4$2..@4$13=@3+1-@2
#+end_src


Does there exist such a command (Scalc and I presume excel allow to transpose a table and convert the corresponding formula)


Thanks and regards

No, we do not have such command - `org-table-transpose-table-at-point'
does not currently do any formula adjustments.
Patches welcome!
