I never seem to use the spreadsheet unless it's some horribly
complicated thing I don't know how to calculate... Can someone lend me a
hand?
I'm calculating payment rates for contributors (actually translators) to
a magazine.
I've got two tables: The first is essentially a table of contents,
listing pieces with their character count (prose), or line count
(poetry), plus who translated it.
The second is a list of translators, with their total character/line
count, and how much they're owed.
I'm having a hell of a time getting the column formulas right:
specifically referencing one table from another. The first table looks
like this:
#+NAME: counts
| Piece | Chars | Lines | Translator |
+----------------+--------+-------+------------------+
| 凤凰 | | 84 | Austin Woerner |
| 王血 | 6633 | | Eric Abrahamsen |
| 赵氏孤儿 | 16984 | | Canaan Morse |
| 山鬼故家 | | 24 | Lucas Klein |
| 寂静何其深沉 | | 10 | Lucas Klein |
And the second:
#+NAME: payments
#+CONSTANTS: prose=0.7 poetry=10
| Translator | Total Chars | Total Lines | Payment |
|------------------+-------------+-------------+---------|
| Austin Woerner | | | |
| Eric Abrahamsen | | | |
| Canaan Morse | | | |
| Lucas Klein | | | |
In this second table, the formula I want for the "Total Chars" column
is:
"Set each row of $2 in table payments to the sum of all numbers in $2 of
remote(counts), if $2 is not empty, and if $4 of remote(counts) is equal
to $1 of table payments."
The formula for "Total Lines" would be exactly the same, but with the
$2s all switched to $3. I can handle adding up the amounts!
Is it possible to iterate over all the rows in another table like this?
Is there a better way I could be arranging my tables?
Thanks for any tips!
Eric
