I did not express myself clearly, then. Sorry for that. The assignment is done through the `=' sign. This is the what part of the equation, that is the value which is assigned to the cell. The flags are the how part of the assignment. At least, they should tell about the formatting of the value (like for numeric assignments), but they don't (for time assignments). Let's compare with numerics: @2$2=3.141592;%.2f The value just follows the equal sign: pi is *what* to output in the cell. The flag (here, `%.2f') says *how* to output it, in this case limited to 2 decimals. Let's come back to time values: @2$2=1:23;t means, for me, that: - the value 1:23 should be assigned to the cell - that value should be formatted as a fraction. Hence, I'd expect to see `1.38' (and not `0:00'). - we can't confirm that its format must be H:MM | Task| HH:MM | |-+---| | This| 0:00 | | Nothing | na| | That| na| #+TBLFM: @2$2=1:23;T::@3$2=string(0:00);T::@4$2=string(4:56);T ... same here. Those problems do arise in both ways of assigning a time to a cell: - via the common way: @2$2=1:23 Results: 0.00 - via the string function: @4$2=string(4:56) The @4$2=string(4:56) works fine here, without any flag.

Hi Sebastien, you can use @3$2=string(0:00) - Carsten On 20.3.2012, at 14:59, Sebastien Vauban wrote: Hello, As shown by this example, we can't assign the value 0:00 to a cell: | Task| HH:MM | |-+| | This| 1:23 | | Nothing | #ERROR | | That| 1:23 | #+TBLFM: @2$2=1:23::@3$2=0:00::@4$2=4:56 Best regards, Seb -- Sebastien Vauban
