Hi Roger,

It's a dirty solution, but you can try:

#+name: s1
| scale |  scale1 |   scale3 |  jid |
| -     | 1.00402 | 0.952329 | 1632 |
| -     | 1.00402 | 0.962247 | 1633 |

#+begin_src emacs-lisp :var data=s1 col=3
    (let* ((column (mapcar (lambda (r) (format "%s" (nth col r))) data)))
	   (mapcar 'list column))
#+end_src

#+RESULTS:
|  jid |
| 1632 |
| 1633 |

Best regards,

Juan Manuel
