Is 'special first _column_' really an org concept? Recalc seems to only look at each row individually. This table: | * | 7 | 11 | | | 1 | 8 | 11 | | | * | 9 | 11 | | #+TBLFM: $4=$2*$3 Then 'C-u C-c *' gives: | * | 7 | 11 | 77 | | 1 | 8 | 11 | | | * | 9 | 11 | 99 | #+TBLFM: $4=$2*$3 The '1' in @2 did not interfere at all with special recalc of @1 & 3. > However, that would be too long, so maybe not copying anything over the > next row would be the way to go. I hope not as the current behavior is very convenient and with little risk of unintended or unwanted behavior. thanks -- --tony
