Unfortunately, sometimes it is difficult to see examples showing the possibilities, and I think this example could be very informative. +# Discussion + +## Notes + +- Very impressive on your skill over the org-table +- Thank you for your opinion. +- Never use aggregate function before, will have a try. + - Yes, you should, it is clearly a nice package and very useful. Also, + it is very well documented at its page: + <https://github.com/emacsmirror/orgtbl-aggregate> +- org table is awesome, but it lacks the fold, if i don't missing something. long table is bad to view + - You can put the table under a heading, and you will be able to fold it. + - very true. Long tables also have performance issues unfortunately. (IME) but still invaluable for any form of data analysis. I've not used the aggregate package used in this talk: must have a look. Don't get me wrong: I will put up with the performance hit of long tables well before I would ever consider one of those other tools! + - any block can be folded by pressing TAB on its header line + - I have manage about 200+ students evaluations with multiple columns (20+) in a single org file. It is not fast, but I can't say it is worst than using Excell (or even LibreOffice's Calc). I have separate my students in multiple tables, according to their groups, and that helps. +- Got an answer on mastodon concerning org tables and formulas: "The documentation is not ideal", which is a little sad. + - sadly, that's true. Much experimentation is needed. + - I find the documentation for org tables quite good. It does help if you know Calc as well, however. But, of course, updates to the documentation are always welcome... +- This talk was really good in showing how to actually make some things though.

This is the main reason to have several tables. +- Q: Do you have some kind of school administrative system you have to + enter the grades into in addition, or is this how you present the + grades to the students?
