Thanks for bringing this up, it would be a useful tool.

I get an error using the functions as well

org-recalculate-all-tables:
org-recalculate-all-tables: Wrong number of arguments: (lambda 
(function) "Apply FUNCTION to the start of all tables in the buffer." 
(save-excursion (save-restriction (widen) (goto-char (point-min)) (while 
(re-search-forward org-table-any-line-regexp nil t) (message "Mapping 
tables: %d%%" (/ (* 100.0 (point)) (buffer-size))) (beginning-of-line 1) 
(when (looking-at org-table-line-regexp) (save-excursion (funcall 
function)) (or (looking-at org-table-line-regexp) (forward-char 1))) 
(re-search-forward org-table-any-border-regexp nil 1)))) (message 
"Mapping tables: done")), 2
