In the earlier section https://orgmode.org/manual/Column-formulas.html, we do explain this caveat: "The left-hand side of a column formula can not be the name of column, it must be the numeric column reference or =E2=80=98$>=E2=80=99." Thus, I see no reason to amend the manual. (And I hope that we will remove this restriction after https://list.orgmode.org/877cqwbpa2.fsf@runbox.com is merged) --=20 Ihor Radchenko // yantar92, Org mode contributor, Learn more about Org mode at .
