Hi,
I'm using radiotables and would like to get all numbers of column 1 with two
digits after the decimal separator. My example below leads to an error, but it
may explain what I'd like to receive:
Input:
| 100 | Value |
| 150 | Value |
#+TBLFM: $1=%s;%.2f
Desired outoput:
| 100.00 | Value |
| 150.00 | Value |
#+TBLFM: $1=%s;%.2f
I also tried to use :fmt (1 %s;%.2f)
while exporting to LaTeX, but in vain.
Regards,
Alexander

What you tried would be
| 100.00 | Value |
| 150.00 | Value |
#+TBLFM: $1=$0;%.2f
$0 is the current table field. What I recommend is
| 100.00 | Value |
| 150.00 | Value |
#+TBLFM: $1 = $0 +.0; f-2
because of the behavior I explained in the tables shown here:

O.K., thank you very much for your help. This is a nice trick!
Unfortunately, my tables have other formulas than only one:
| Values | Desc. |
|--------+-------|
| 100.00 | Value |
| 150.00 | Value |
| 250. | sum |
|--------+-------|
| 500. | End |
#+TBLFM: @4$1=@2$1+@3$1::@5$1=vsum(@I..@II)::$1=$0 +.0; f-2
I get at least every number in column 1 with a dot, but without ".00", as
needed:
*Do I have to ad '; f-2' to every formula?*
And besides that, I've never seen this description "f-2". Is it explained
somewhere for non-mathematicians? You know, if there are differences between
this and ";%.2f", I should better be aware of them.
Regards
Alexander

The ending dot is Calc syntax and means a float with fraction 0.

Yes, else the Calc result is inserted without change. There is a
formula debugger that shows the formatting steps nicely: "C-c {"
The "+.0" is necessary too to convert Calc integer to Calc float for
some cases as shown in the example tables here:
http://orgmode.org/worg/org-faq.html#table-float-fraction
All together:
#+TBLFM: @4$1=@2$1+@3$1 +.0; f-2::@5$1=vsum(@I..@II) +.0; f-2::$1=$0 +.0; f-2
This is what I recommend just in general and what I do always myself
as a habit because it can deal also with higher precision or the case
when those of the fields resulting in an empty string should remain
empty instead of a "0.00". If you don't want to be prepared for all
that, for your current example you can still use just
#+TBLFM: @4$1=@2$1+@3$1;%.2f::@5$1=vsum(@I..@II);%.2f::$1=$0;%.2f

For an explanation see the URLs to the Calc manual mentioned here
http://orgmode.org/worg/org-faq.html#table-float-fraction
after "For f3 and f-3 see `d f' (`calc-fix-notation')".
