Hello Consider the following table. | Name | Ex 1 | Ex2 | Ex + Ex2 | | smith | 1 | 2 | 3 | | miller | | | 0 | #+TBLFM: $4=$2+$3 Miller has no entries in Ex1 and Ex2 but when using C-u C-u C-c C-c also Ex2+Ex3 gets an entry namely zero. I don't like this I would prefer if this field remains empty. Any way of achieving this? Uwe Brauer
