O.K., thank you very much for your help. This is a nice trick!

Unfortunately, my tables have other formulas than only one:

| Values | Desc. |
|--------+-------|
| 100.00 | Value |
| 150.00 | Value |
|   250. | sum   |
|--------+-------|
|   500. | End   |
#+TBLFM: @4$1=@2$1+@3$1::@5$1=vsum(@I..@II)::$1=$0 +.0; f-2

I get at least every number in column 1 with a dot, but without ".00", as 
needed: 

*Do I have to ad '; f-2' to every formula?* 

And besides that, I've never seen this description "f-2". Is it explained 
somewhere for non-mathematicians? You know, if there are differences between 
this and ";%.2f", I should better be aware of them. 

Regards

Alexander
