Hi Suvayu,

thanks for the info= . Actually I was looking for a more automatized version. I used
#+TBLFM= : $1=3Dremote(prf94120_orig, @@#$6)
To get the data from one into = another table.
That works great, but it requires to create a table exactly as long as the = original, otherwise all remaining rows of the original table will be silent= ly truncated.
I will use =A0
=A0 org-table-copy= -region
=A0 org-table-paste-rectangle
as a intermediate solution and look= -out for something which enables me to create as many rows as needed to mak= e the data fit into the target table.

Thanks

Torsten

See:

org-table-copy-region
org-table-paste-rectangle

Open source is the future. It sets us free.
