Spreadsheet row formula

Spreadsheet row formula

In the following table I am trying to implement a row formula for each cell
to be a multiple of the corresponding cell in a preceding row, but several
variations I tried do not work:

| A    | 2          | 3          | 4            |
| B    | [4, 6, 8] | [4, 6, 8] | [4, 6, 8] |
| C    | [4, 6, 8] | [4, 6, 8] | [4, 6, 8] |
| 2 A |           4 |         6  |           8 |
#+TBLFM: @2$2..@2$4=2*@1$2..@1$4::@3$2..@3$4=2*(@1$2..@1$4)



What I would like to get, without having to repeat the formula for each
cell in the row is:
|B|4|6|8|

It seems that this should be fairly simple to do. I am using the latest git
version of orgmode with emacs 24.0.50
Thanks for any suggestions.

Hi RCY

Do you want to do this?:

| A | 2 |  3 |  4 |
| B | 4 |  6 |  8 |
| C | 8 | 12 | 16 |
#+TBLFM: @<<$<<..@>$> = 2 * @-1

Hi,
 Sorry not to be clearer.
I would like to implement the formula for only one row. So entering the
first row shown below and implementing the formula with only B entered in
the first column in the second row gives the rest of the second row.

 |A|2|3|4|
 |B|4|6|8|

Your suggestion almost does what I want, except that it applies the formula
to every row. I would like to apply different row formulas to succeeding
rows.
Also I was not clear about the syntax you used, does <<$<< exclude the
first column and >$> indicate up to the last column?
I tried to modify your formula to restrict it to the second row:
@2<<$<<..@2>$> = 2 * @-1
But that did not work.

Thanks.

So you want this:

| A | 2 | 3 | 4 |
| B | 4 | 6 | 8 |
#+TBLFM: @2$<<..@2$> = 2 * @-1

@< first row
$<< second column
$> last column
@>> second last row
[...]

Hi,
 That does what I want. Thanks for taking the time to explain it. I should
have read the manual on relative cell references more carefully.
