No. A column formula starts like %3=... and applies to all fields in column 3. A field formula starts like @2$3=... and applies to a single field. I did out the correct formulas into the table I sent with my last email. For the rest I don't know what is wrong. Maybe you have some local setup binding `C-c *' to a different function? Maybe you C-u is bound to something else? You can try to move the cursor into the #+TBLFM line and press `C-c C- c' there, this should also update the entire table, as should `C-u C-c C-c' anywhere in the table. - Carsten > > I upgraded to the las org-mode version. > > I must be doing something really wrong, since C-u C-c * doesn't > recalculate the column, it just moves the point to the first row > after the hline. > > What can be that is missing here ? > > best regards, > haroldo > > 2009/8/4 Carsten Dominik > Hi Haroldo, > > Well, I am using the newest version of Org-mode for which you'd have > to use a filed formula for the first field in the balance column. > Then using your > formulas, `C-u C-c *' does fill the entire table: > > > | in | out | balance | > |-----+-----+---------| > | | | 0 | > > | 30 | | 30 | > | | 25 | 5 | > | 100 | | 105 | > | 500 | | 605 | > | | 400 | 205 | > | | | 205 | > #+TBLFM: $3=@-1$3 + @+0$1 - @+0$2::@2$3=0 > > So I don't know why this is not working for you. > > - Carsten > > > On Aug 4, 2009, at 8:28 AM, Haroldo Stenger wrote: > > Sure, sorry, that's what text is for :) > > | in | out | balance | > |-----+-----+---------| > | | | | > | 30 | | 30 | > | | 25 | 5 | > | 100 | | 105 | > | 500 | | | > | | 400 | | > | | | | > #+TBLFM: $3=@-1$3 + @+0$1 - @+0$2 > > That's how the table looks like after > - creating the table > - filling columns 1 and 2 with numbers > - creating the column formula in column 3, and > - typing C-c * in @3$3 , @4$3 and @5$3 > > The complete filling of the $3 column doesn't take place by issuing > the commands in http://orgmode.org/org.html#Updating-the-table.
