Sure, sorry, that's what text is for :)

|  in | out | balance |
|-----+-----+---------|
|     |     |         |
|  30 |     |      30 |
|     |  25 |       5 |
| 100 |     |     105 |
| 500 |     |         |

#+TBLFM: $3=@-1$3 + @+0$1 - @+0$2

That's how the table looks like after
- creating the table
- filling columns 1 and 2 with numbers
- creating the column formula in column 3, and
- typing C-c * in @3$3  , @4$3  and  @5$3

The complete filling of the $3 column doesn't take place by issuing the
commands in http://orgmode.org/org.html#Updating-the-table. If I go to @6$3
, @7$3 and @8$3 and type C-c *  I obtain what I want, being:

|  in | out | balance |
|-----+-----+---------|
|     |     |         |
|  30 |     |      30 |
|     |  25 |       5 |
| 100 |     |     105 |
| 500 |     |     605 |
|     | 400 |     205 |
|     |     |     205 |
#+TBLFM: $3=@-1$3 + @+0$1 - @+0$2

I know that what I'm asking should be of easy achievement on my own, but I
got somewhat frustrated when I use the commands and the filling doesn't
happen. Thanks for helping me.

best,
haroldo

Recalculate all , in fact , nothing happens. I tried many times, without
result. Recalc line works perfectly, but that does not seem what I'm looking
for, which would be a recalculation of all the fields in the column that
holds my column-formula.  I'll continue reading until I find out, but if you
come up with an answer earlier I'd be grateful in advance !  :-)

forced to copy the formula in in the C-c '  and then go to each of the
references and type S-downarrow as many times. I'd thank any idea here.
