Yes, with all the explanations of how the formulas work your github
novoid/org-mode-workshop contains a very nice spreadsheet
documentation, for more than just referencing remote tables. Can you
please link the section here with mentioning that it contains
explanations of how the formulas work?:

Your new example in github novoid/org-mode-workshop with
@2=remote(Income2012h, @3$$#)
- motivated by my example in the current Org manual
- that interprets text as a Calc algebraic expression, which is
  subject to reformatting
reminded me of that just copying fields is better done with a Lisp
formula "'(identity [...])", see attached patch for the Org manual.
