That did the trick, thanks! Just to clarify, how would you fix this: | [2016-07-05 Tue]--[2016-07-06 Wed] | 1d | vsum(d) | | [2016-07-06 Wed]--[2016-07-07 Thu] | 1d | 2 d | #+TBLFM: $3=vsum(@1$-1..@0$-1) Notice the "vsum(d)" instead of the expected "1 d". How would you add "identity" here? Thanks! Rares
