Hi Hector, Here are two ways of doing this in org-babel. * Binding tables together by columns Suppose the tables are #+tblname: tab1 | 1 | 2 | 3 | | 7 | 8 | 9 | #+tblname: tab2 | 4 | 5 | 6 | | 10 | 11 | 12 | Here's a solution in emacs lisp: #+srcname: column-bind-elisp(a=tab1, b=tab2) #+begin_src emacs-lisp (mapcar* 'append a b) #+end_src #+resname: column-bind-elisp | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | And here's a solution in R, which has the advantage that it copes with column names (and the code is even simpler). #+tblname: tab3 | a | b | c | |---+---+---| | 1 | 2 | 3 | | 7 | 8 | 9 | #+tblname: tab4 | d | e | f | |----+----+----| | 4 | 5 | 6 | | 10 | 11 | 12 | #+srcname: column-bind-R(a=tab3, b=tab4) #+begin_src R :colnames t cbind(a, b) #+end_src #+resname: column-bind-R | "a" | "b" | "c" | "d" | "e" | "f" | |-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----| | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | Once someone has written them, even simple code blocks like these can be stored in the "library of babel" for users who aren't familiar with a suitable programming language (I'll add them on worg).
