Re: formula

[Carsten Dominik <carsten.dominik@gmail.com>]

Hi Haroldo,


You cannot copy a formula easily from one field t the next with
shifting the reference like you would do in a normal spreadsheet.
However, you can use relative references (see the manual) in
order to write formulas in an invariant way, and then use basic
editing commands in the C-c ' buffer to define the formula for
many fields.  Even better, use a column formula which allows
you to write a single formula for an entire column.
