Thanks Eryk that solves the problem! I actually did try with an extra
"$" but it didn't work so I assumed that I had misunderstood the
documentation. Reading the documentation again, I think it could be
improved, perhaps
#+begin_quote
to force interpretation of a cell's value as a string, prefix the
identifier with two "$"s rather than a single "$"
#+end_quote
instead of
#+begin_quote
to force interpretation of a cell's value as a string, prefix the
identifier with another "$", (e.g. @2$2 becomes $@2$2)
#+end_quote
Thanks again,
Myles
