Thanks Uwe Brauer You may name the Lisp block like that: -------------------------------------- #+TBLNAME: raw-data | 1 | a | 3 | | 2 | b | 4 | | 3 | c | 6 | | 4 | d | 7 | #+NAME: just-one-column #+BEGIN_SRC elisp :var data=""> (mapcar (lambda (line)             (list (nth 2 line)))          data) #+END_SRC #+RESULTS: just-one-column | 3 | | 4 | | 6 | | 7 | -------------------------------------- Then you can use the new table in a further processing: -------------------------------------- #+BEGIN_SRC elisp :var data=""> (mapcar (lambda (line)           (list (* 1000 (nth 0 line))))          data) #+END_SRC #+RESULTS: | 3000 | | 4000 | | 6000 | | 7000 | --------------------------------------
