Hi, everybody,

Org-mode version 6.22b
GNU Emacs 22.3.1 (i386-mingw-nt5.1.2600) of 2008-09-06 on SOFT-MJASON

I found an unexpected behaviour, a bug ?, in TBLFM 
(well I've already reported it in 
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2009-01/msg00252.html 
but I didn't provide a report clear enough;
ah, the importance of proper bug reports ;-)

table (from manual):

|---+---------+--------+--------+--------+-------+------|
|   | Student | Prob 1 | Prob 2 | Prob 3 | Total | Note |
|---+---------+--------+--------+--------+-------+------|
| ! |         |     P1 |     P2 |     P3 |   Tot |      |
| # | Maximum |     12 |     15 |     25 |       | 52.0 |
| ^ |         |     m1 |     m2 |     m3 |    mt |      |
|---+---------+--------+--------+--------+-------+------|

| # | Sam     |      2 |      4 |      3 |       |  9.0 |
|---+---------+--------+--------+--------+-------+------|
|   | Average |        |        |        |  25.0 |      |
| ^ |         |        |        |        |    at |      |
| $ | max=10  |        |        |        |       |      |
|---+---------+--------+--------+--------+-------+------|
#+TBLFM: $6=vsum($P1..$P3)::$7=10*$Tot/$max;%.1f::$at=vmean(@-II..@-I);%.1f

BUG :
A column can't be referred with its name, 
if it is left hand side of a formula.

(Please try changing $6 with $Tot in the first formula )

Well I don't know if this is a bug or a constrain in
the implementation.
This being the case I think it should be 
documented in the manual in the section (Field formulas) like:
"The left hand side of a formula may also be a named field,
but not a named column"

cheers,
Giovanni

I have documented this limitation, thanks for the report.
