I only have backward dependencies so I tried the first code block.
I put it in ..emacs and tried, but I got a message starting as the message
below.

The tables work as expected when I do it manually.

Any idea what could be wrong?



Error meassage:

org-recalculate-all-tables: Wrong number of arguments: #[(function)

Best regards,
Johan
