I take it the writer intended for the reader to imply that we apply a similar formula using the row notation, and if they need a hint they can review the 'TBLFM' line. But, I would've liked to have discussion as to: 1. Why the writer explicitly marked the cells instead of just using 'vmean(@2..@4)'? 2. How to repeat this formula on the next cell in the row (the previous methods don't seem to work). This would complete the tutorial and would have allowed me to jump right into my task confidently (save the fact that the Calc manual link is broken).

At the moment I do not have time. I haven't used the tool in a while since then so I also don't have the vision.

Perhaps someone else can amend the documentation, if he sees your point. -- Bastien ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread
