When I use a formula to sum the whole column it expect a period and ends up with a false calculation. I'd revert my numbers to the American format but this table is used for accounting so it's not an option. Going through the manual didn't provide any help. Is there a way to have org use the european format or am I to ditch the formula and make use of C-c + to manually calculate the sum ? Izzie
