Carsten ,

I take for granted that a filed formula is a column formula , like the one I
was using.

I upgraded to the las org-mode version.

I must be doing something really wrong, since C-u C-c *  doesn't recalculate
the column, it just moves the point to the first row after the hline.

What can be that is missing here ?

best regards,
haroldo
