Andrea's kludge works for me. My understanding is that only a C-c C-c in the TBLFM would actually update the table. Looking at the documentation at http://orgmode.org/manual/References.html#References again, I would have expected @I+1$3 to be a correct way of referring to the 3rd column in the row after the first hline, rather than the entire row. It is unclear to me what @I$3 as I used in my example above should correspond to. Cheers, Loris -- This signature is currently under construction.
