Hello,
I'm trying to use named fields.
This works:
| ! | col2 | col3 |
| # | abc | abc |
#+TBLFM: $3 = $col2
However, assignment to named field "$col3":
| ! | col2 | col3 |
| # | abc | |
#+TBLFM: $col3 = $col2
... results in error "Unknown field: col3".
I was expecting assignment to the named column to work, as per
https://orgmode.org/manual/Advanced-features.html
‘!’
The fields in this line define names for the columns, so that you may refer
to a column as ‘$Tot’ instead of ‘$6’.
‘^’
This row defines names for the fields *above* the row. With such a
definition, any formula in the table may use ‘$m1’ to refer to the value ‘10’.
Also, if you assign a formula to a names field, it is stored as ‘$name = ...
’.
However, the documentation doesn't specifically indicate that assignment to
"$name" should work w/ "!"--it's mentioned only w/ "^" (and works fine for
this case)--so possibly what I'm trying simply isn't supported (i.e., not a
bug). Please pardon if that's not right expectation.
Thank you for your help.
Regards,
Lester

Hello,
The functionality which I was trying is documented as not supported:
http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/org/Column-formulas.html
The left-hand side of a column formula cannot be the name of column, it
must be the numeric column reference or $>.
Regards,
Lester
