I have the followign table, which should speak for itself. First the "cost" column needs to be calculated, which is hours * rate, and then the "hrs" and "ttl" fields should be filled in based on sums of their columns. However, I'm not sure why $cost isn't being evaluated; I've tried it with column names as well as indices but unless I specify each field individually (e.g. @3$5) I can't get a result here. Formula debugging seems to ignore it, too. But I've been trying to follow the example on the "advanced feature" page[1] as closely as possible; what's the problem?

I have no clue why, but this table works for me; the original one does
not...
| | Date | Hours | Rate | Cost |
| ! | | hours | rate | cost |
|---+-------------+-------+------+------|
| # | February 9 | 4.00 | 38 | 152. |
| # | February 10 | 4.00 | 38 | 152. |
| # | February 11 | 4.00 | 38 | 152. |
| # | February 12 | 4.00 | 38 | 152. |
| # | February 13 | 4.00 | 38 | 152. |
|---+-------------+-------+------+------|
| # | | 20. | | 760. |

#+TBLFM: $5=$hours*$rate::$hrs=vsum(@I..@II)::$ttl=vsum(@I..@II)
