Thanks. It was very useful. I use tables and spreadsheets quite a lot,
but I still learnt a couple of very useful things that I didn't know:
the formula editor and debugging.

As I followed along, I spotted a couple of things:

1) Under "Your first formula", the first vmean formula you show is a
column formula, whereas the text implies it should have been a field
formula.

2) I'd never used #+CONSTANTS before, and as I followed along I
discovered that I had to do a 'C-c C-c' on the CONSTANTS line before the
table had knowledge of it. It might be good to make that explicit,
otherwise the table shows #ERRORs. I got to use my new-found debugging
knowledge to work out why!
