I have the following table:
|---+------------+---------------------------+------------+------------------------------------------|
| | datum | from datum | hard coded | |
|---+------------+---------------------------+------------+------------------------------------------|
| # | 2007-01-01 | 192 | 1 | [50, 48, 48, 55, 45, 48, 49, 45, 48, 49] |
| # | 2007-07-09 | 192 | 190 | [50, 48, 48, 55, 45, 48, 55, 45, 48, 57] |
| # | 2007-07-11 | 192 | 192 | [50, 48, 48, 55, 45, 48, 55, 45, 49, 49] |
| # | 2007-09-11 | 192 | 1 | [50, 48, 48, 55, 45, 48, 57, 45, 49, 49] |
| # | 20071012 | 192 | 1 | [50, 48, 48, 55, 49, 48, 49, 50] |
|---+------------+---------------------------+------------+------------------------------------------|
#+TBLFM: $3='(time-to-day-in-year (org-read-date t t "$2"));N::$5="$2"::@2$4='(time-to-day-in-year (org-read-date t t "2007-01-01"));N::@3$4='(time-to-day-in-year (org-read-date t t "2007-07-09"));N::@4$4='(time-to-day-in-year (org-read-date t t "2007-07-11"));N::@5$4='(time-to-day-in-year (org-read-date t t "2007-01-01"));N::
The column 'from datum' does not get the right values. The last column
shows why. "$2" gives a list of ASCII values of the string instead of
the string. This makes that org-read-data gets 50 as a parameter instead
of the string representing a date. How do I convert this list back to
the string it is representing?

Is this any better. I don't think it's entirely right yet.

I take that back. I think it is right. I thought hard coded and
frodatum were supposed to match. Unfortunately, it looks like the
mailed mangles the formula line.

Yes, it looks like it works completly. (What I am missing is a knowledge
of Lisp. Thus that will come.)
One thing bugs me. I am used to end a formula ending with ';N'.
Sometimes if you do not do this, this geves an error. But in this case
this gives an error:
Substitution history of formula
Orig: '(time-to-day-in-year (org-read-date t t (concat $2)))
$xyz-> '(time-to-day-in-year (org-read-date t t (concat $2)))
@r$c-> '(time-to-day-in-year (org-read-date t t (concat $2)))
$1-> '(time-to-day-in-year (org-read-date t t (concat 2007)))
Result: #ERROR
Format: NONE
Final: #ERROR
When using nothing after the formula, I get:
Substitution history of formula
Orig: '(time-to-day-in-year (org-read-date t t (concat $2)))
$xyz-> '(time-to-day-in-year (org-read-date t t (concat $2)))
@r$c-> '(time-to-day-in-year (org-read-date t t (concat $2)))
$1-> '(time-to-day-in-year (org-read-date t t (concat #("2007-01-01" 0 1 (hilit-chg hilit-chg lazy-lock t) 1 2 (hilit-chg hilit-chg lazy-lock t) 2 3 (hilit-chg hilit-chg lazy-lock t) 3 4 (hilit-chg hilit-chg lazy-lock t) 4 5 (hilit-chg hilit-chg lazy-lock t) 5 6 (hilit-chg hilit-chg lazy-lock t) 6 8 (hilit-chg hilit-chg lazy-lock t) 8 9 (hilit-chg hilit-chg lazy-lock t) 9 10 (hilit-chg hilit-chg lazy-lock t)))))
Result: 1
Format: NONE
Final: 1
And when I put ';S' after the formula, I get the same as with nothing
after the formula.
Why this error by ';N'?
Also what is the meaning of the strange expansion by concat? Maybe not
neccesary, but I like to understand what is happening.

By default the field values are passed to the lisp expression as a
string. If you want it to be passed as a number you need the ;N. So
if @3$4 = 123:
'(foo @3$4) => '(foo "123")
'(foo @3$4);N => '(foo 123)

I remember Carsten mentioning something about this.
I would expect the ';N' have influence on the output, not on the input.

When you put "N", each field is converted into a number before
it is interpolated into the formula. So "2007-02-02" becomes
2007, and it is inserted *as a number* into the Lisp form.
concat is a function that concatenates string - it cannot handle
numbers, so it throws an error.
