Thanks for the reference to formula debugger. In the heat of debugging an error as obvious, and worrying, as the one I saw forgot about it. Though I am still new to Emacs and Org so that’s not so surprising. 

I have one table retrieving data from two more. 18 columns x 7 rows total. I could have everything into one larger table but splitting makes them more readable I think. And possibly simplifies sharing end results. Haven’t tried Org export options yet. What is your organization system with tables?
