$LR in Table Formula

$LR in Table Formula

[Marco Wahl]

Hi!

By accident at browsing the code I stumbled over "$LR" in column
formulas.  TBH I don't understand "$LR" and I haven't found a bit about
it in the documentation.

What is the meaning of $LR?


Ciao,

Where in the code did you find this?  I cannot see it anywhere in latest
org, assuming you are talking about the code for org mode.

Ignore my previous email/post.  I was obviously under the influence.  I
see the LR references in the code.

This was an old way to refer to fields in the last row.  It was already
deprecated in 2011.  I also does not seem to work anymore.

I had forgotten all about it and only found it back with

git log -S \$LR --source --all | less

which pointed me to commit 8237c9ae6d587a22646333e0315683675e2db538

Thanks for the eludication!  

If the Org code shall iterate towards clarity then the question would be
resurrection or elimination of the Last Row (LR) feature AFAICS.

Elimination should be fine in this case since it does not work anymore
anyway.

Okay, I eliminated the LR parts from the code.
