I don't believe this is possible out of the box. The first RESULTS block from the beginning of the buffer will be updated, and not the others.
You might be able to use a hook function to do this, something like: #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp (defun update-results () (interactive) ;; get name of src block (let ((name (org-element-property :name (org-element-at-point))) (results)) (when name (org-element-map (org-element-parse-buffer) 'fixed-width (lambda (object) (if results ;; replace value in block (setf (buffer-substring (org-element-property :begin object) (org-element-property :end object)) results) ;; set results (setq results (buffer-substring (org-element-property :begin object) (org-element-property :end object))))))))) #+END_SRC #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp (add-hook 'org-babel-after-execute-hook 'update-results) #+END_SRC This worked on a small test example, but I did not test it thoroughly. your mileage might vary ;) Rainer M Krug writes: > Hi > > Consider the following: > > --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- > * The calculation > #+NAME: testcode :exports both > #+begin_src R :session test > runif(10) > #+end_src > > > * summary of the results > First time > #+RESULTS: testcode :exports both > | 0.772744940361008 | > | 0.170518629485741 | > | 0.0833237133920193 | > | 0.149035625392571 | > | 0.698798568220809 | > | 0.627075897762552 | > | 0.177144371205941 | > | 0.0476319056469947 | > | 0.289851602632552 | > | 0.0296813279855996 | > > * and another > testthingy > #+RESULTS: testcode :exports both > > --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- > > If I update the calculation, the first results block is updated, but > not the second one.
