| article | price | |---------+--------| | item1 | 100.00 | | item2 | 200.00 | |---------+--------| | sum | 300.00 | | tax | 24.00 | |---------+--------| | sum | 324.00 | #+TBLFM: @4$2=vsum(@-I..@-II);%.2f::@5$2=@4$2*0.08;%.2f::@6$2=vsum(@-I..@-II);%.2f I often use negative headline references for total lines in order to sum backward from the current cell. So vsum(@-I..@-II);%.2f means sum the cells between the first headline above the current cell to the second headline above the current cell, and then format the result as a decimal with two decimal places (%.2f). Looking at your formula, I think you manually wrote the TBLFM line. One thing I've found is that the TBLFM line doesn't support relative references for the cell specification, only in the formula. I used C-u C-c = to set mine.
