Hi Rainer,
turns out, org-table-sum is an old function I have not looked at for a
long time. It used (format "%g" res) to format the final result for
display - bad idea indeed, because that causes the unwanted rounding.
I have removed this, the change has just been pushed to the git repo.
Thanks for the report.

I have a problem I am confident there is a solution to. I even
suspect it may be explained in the manual, but can't for the life of
me find it:
Summing up small numbers in tables isn't a problem even when they have
digits after the decimal point. For example, org-table-sum applied on
the table
| 10000.7 |
| 10000.5 |
| 10000.3 |
correctly gives 30001.5. On the other hand, applied on the table
| 100000.7 |
| 100000.5 |
| 100000.3 |
org-table-sum gives 300002, the correctly rounded value of 300001.5,
which would be the exact value.
How can I make org-table-sum deliver the exact value?
If this is explained in the manual, please point me to the relevant
section.
Many thanks in advance
Rainer
