I have an idea. We can leave the original table intact,
while making a new dynamically generated table derived from
the original one.
#+tblname: myexptable
| x | y | z |
|---+---+--------------|
| 1 | 1 | 0.36787944 |
| 1 | 2 | 0.13533528 |

#+TBLFM: $3=$1*exp(-$2)
#+DERIVEDTBL :origin myexptable :criteria $1==2

It is just a quick thought. I am not sure how easy it is to
implement it, but at least it is unlikely to make any
confusion to users.
