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?

I think something like NaN was introduced to Org-tbls, but I don't
remember the exact syntax, maybe try with 'nan':

Yes, and I already documented the OP use case in the second example here:
http://orgmode.org/manual/Formula-syntax-for-Calc.html

This is something I tend to forget (and usually work around with some
lisp). Thanks for the reminder.

Aha, so I would indeed get:
| Name | Ex 1 | Ex2 | Ex + Ex2 |
| smith | 1 | 2 | 3 |
| miller | | | |
#+TBLFM: $4=$2+$3
this is patch is from 2012, which orgmode version did it enter then?

I implemented it in release_7.9.2-908-ga77442b and "git tag
--contains" tells that it is available since Org release 8.0 which is
newer than the pre-packaged Org mode of the currently newest released
Emacs 23.3. So you need to upgrade Org mode as described here:

This was (hopefully obviously) a typo and should have been
the currently newest released Emacs 24.3.
