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=20
(well I've already reported it in=20
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2009-01/msg00252.html=20
but I didn't provide a report clear enough;
ah, the importance of proper bug reports ;-)

table (from manual):

|---+---------+--------+--------+--------+-------+------|

#+TBLFM: $6=3Dvsum($P1..$P3)::$7=3D10*$Tot/$max;%.1f::$at=3Dvmean(@-II..@-I=
);%.1f

BUG :
A column can't be referred with its name,=20
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=20
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
