org tables - modified field

org tables - modified field

[Seweryn Kokot]

Hi,

I have the following table

#+TBLNAME: table_three
|--------+--------|
|      1 | 2      |
|--------+--------|
|   2.00 | *4.00* |
| *4.00* | #ERROR |
|--------+--------|
#+TBLFM: @2$1=2*@1$1;%.2f::@2$2=2*@1$2;*%.2f*::@3$1=2*@2$1;*%.2f*::@3$2=2*@2
$2;*%.2f*

in which I would like to have some fields bold in org buffer and latex export

\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{rl}
\hline
             1  &  2              \\
\hline
          2.00  &  \textbf{4.00}  \\
 \textbf{4.00}  &  \#ERROR        \\
\hline
\end{tabular}
\end{center}

However, since the field B3 refers to the field B2 which is not exactly a 
number, I get an error.

Would it be possible to reuse the field B2 in another formula, somehow?

Best regards,
Seweryn

Only if you use elisp formulas and strip the stars yourself.  Calc
cannot solve this for you, so computations using calc with emphasized
fields are not allowed in org tables.
