How are you trying to insert the date? This error is usually produced because some function is trying to do an org-back-to-heading, i.e. the function does not expect the table to be at top level. In particular, C-c C-d (org-deadline) and C-c C-s (org-schedule) *want* a headline and insert the scheduling information after the headline, not in the table. OTOH, I tried entering a date into a table at top level with C-c . which is bound to org-time-stamp, and the date gets inserted with no error (and S-RET also works to increment the date in subsequent rows as Michael Brand mentioned) Org-mode version 7.9.2 (release_7.9.2-577-gb0a051 @ /home/nick/elisp/org-mode/lisp/) Nick
