Hi,

    I'm having trouble trying to figure out what I've got wrong here.
Given the table

* wealth management
  |--------------------------+--------+-------|
  | item                     | amount | total |
  |--------------------------+--------+-------|
  | paid                     |  50.00 |       |
  | baby's new part of shoes | -25.00 |       |
  | chip                     |  -2.50 |       |
  |--------------------------+--------+-------|
#+TBLFM: $3='(+ @-1 $-1)


I would expect to get the results

* wealth management
  |--------------------------+--------+-------|
  | item                     | amount | total |
  |--------------------------+--------+-------|
  | paid                     |  50.00 | 50.00 |
  | baby's new part of shoes | -25.00 | 25.00 |
  | chip                     |  -2.50 | 22.50 |
  |--------------------------+--------+-------|
#+TBLFM: $3='(+ @-1 $-1)


But instead I just get

* wealth management
  |--------------------------+--------+--------|
  | item                     | amount | total  |
  |--------------------------+--------+--------|
  | paid                     |  50.00 | #ERROR |
  | baby's new part of shoes | -25.00 | #ERROR |
  | chip                     |  -2.50 | #ERROR |
  |--------------------------+--------+--------|
#+TBLFM: $3='(+ @-1 $-1)


I'm sure I'm missing something.  Is a table like this even possible?
