Re: [Orgmode] FR: Columnview Tables & Formulas

[Carsten Dominik]

Hi Russel,


hmmm, an alternative would be to introduce a new property and do the  
computation in the properties.  I can see that it would be relatively  
simple to define a TBLFM line that should be added to the table  
capturing the the column view, but if you need to add extra columns to  
the table, this makes things a lot harder.
