Hi!
I am no expert with calc. I enjoy using it for rather
simple things. However, I would like to use referencing more often
and I face an issue here.
Additionally, I got the feeling that some formulas could be improved
as well.
I did a very basic example in two ways: vertical layout and
horizontal layout. The reason for this is, that I got the feeling
that referencing a set of values (not a single cell) differs in
capabilities from rows to columns.
- possible improvements
- remote reference to multiple cells
- only one formula for summing up the columns or rows
- simpler referencing in general?
Headings ending with a plus sign are rows/columns that ought to be
entered manually (as a basis). Others should get calculated or
filled using references. I hope the example is self-explanatory.
Names ending with "-WIST" are tables I would like to get using
formulas. Names ending with "-TRY" are draft versions that
demonstrate referencing issues. Further TBLFM below the TRY versions
contain other attempts.
Feel free to make suggestions how to overcome my lack of knowledge
:-)
Thanks!

that [1] did not lead to a understanding of it.)
