Hello,

I have always concerned myself that a table column formula returns what 
is expected.and is correct.

However I never paid attention to the echo area and I just noticed that 
it displays the following message

"cells in region copied, use M-x org-table-paste-rectangle to paste them 
in a table"

when I C-c C-c on the formula in the following table

| 1 |
| 2 |
| 3 |
|   |
#+tblfm: @>$>=vsum(@1..@>>)

The correct result is returned.

Have I been ignoring something for the past several years, i.e. has the 
above message always been displayed?

Just wondering.
