Hi Suvayu,

thanks for the info. Actually I was looking for a more automatized version.
I used
#+TBLFM: $1=remote(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
silently truncated.
I will use
  org-table-copy-region
  org-table-paste-rectangle
as a intermediate solution and look-out for something which enables me to
create as many rows as needed to make the data fit into the target table.

Thanks

Torsten
