table: vmean and select a column

table: vmean and select a column

[Uwe Brauer]

Hi

Vmean and friends are great, but it would be very convenient if I could
just could mark a column or parts of it and run vmean on that selection. 

Right now I do this explicitly like:
@40$9=vmean(@2$9..@37$9);f1

 (vmean($9) does not work)

Any idea when or whether such a feature will be implemented?

Thanks

No but vmean(@<$9..@>$9) or similar should. Alternatively, what I always
use is @I and @II to refer to horizontal line separators and I put one
before the first data row, e.g. after table headings, and one after the
last data row.

Very cool and of course sufficient, both solutions work, should have
asked that some time ago, because I found it very uncomfortable to set
the line numbers myself. Thanks a lot.
