Not that stack ... I put another one there that is my actual project. 
TableFun was just to test. This one is called TimeCard

Yes, I've seen it (if it's "Table Fun") and it's illuminating - I 
didn't mean to criticise it at all. My real point was that it's not 
much use having a language feature that requires the level of 
research you've put in, just to understand what that feature is and 
does; and of course there's no guarantee that you'll get to the 
bottom of the whole thing as you're basically guessing.

I don't think this can be right, because the choices are Prefix, 
Suffix, Decimal, Scientific, Date - which look like conventional data 
formats to me.

BTW, referring to my earlier question about nomenclature, if I tell a 
RunRev table that I want to format cell 1 of column 1, the reference 
is shown as

 1,1:1,6

I still don't get it...

You sure are correct about the anemic documentation.
