5.2 Nonrelocatable references
=============================
‘C-y’ relocates all cell-references in a pasted formula, while ‘C-u C-y’
relocates none of the cell-references. What about mixed cases?
You can use
(symbol-value 'B3)
to make an “absolute reference”. The formula relocator skips over
quoted things, so this will not be relocated when pasted or when
rows/columns are inserted/deleted. However, B3 will not be recorded as
a dependency of this cell, so this cell will not be updated
automatically when B3 is changed.
The variables ‘row’ and ‘col’ are dynamically bound while a cell
formula is being evaluated. You can use
(ses-cell-value row 0)
to get the value from the leftmost column in the current row. This
kind of dependency is also not recorded.
