I actually did try with an extra "$" but it didn't work so I assumed that I had misunderstood the documentation. Reading the documentation again, I think it could be improved, perhaps #+begin_quote to force interpretation of a cell's value as a string, prefix the identifier with two "$"s rather than a single "$" #+end_quote instead of #+begin_quote to force interpretation of a cell's value as a string, prefix the identifier with another "$", (e.g. @2$2 becomes $@2$2) #+end_quote Thanks again, Myles
