Subject: return column from table as a column
Date: Fri, 13 Aug 2021 11:47:53 -0230	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <y655yw9mnse.fsf@mun.ca> (raw)

Hello,

I need to extract a column from a table to use as input to a source
block.  I want the extracted column to be returned as a column but it is
returned as a row.  The following illustrates the problem:

#+name: s1
| scale |  scale1 |   scale3 |  jid |
| -     | 1.00402 | 0.952329 | 1632 |
| -     | 1.00402 | 0.962247 | 1633 |

#+begin_src emacs-lisp :var data=s1[,3]
data
#+end_src

#+RESULTS:
| jid | 1632 | 1633 |

I want:

|  jid |
| 1632 |
| 1633 |

Is there some means of changing 'data=s1[,3]' to accomplish this?

Thanks,
Roger
