It seems to me it's a bug in the documentation. Currently, column names are not allowed in the LHS (Left Hand Side) of the formula ('org-table-get-stored-formulas' assumes it). Although I'm not sure why. In other words, you'll need to use the real column number for the column that holds the results. This should work: | ! | c1 | c2 | c3 | |---+----+----+----| | # | 1 | 4 | 3 | | # | 3 | 10 | 7 | #+TBLFM: $3 = $c1 + $c2 Bruno
