Arg 😨


I even tried 
#+TBLFM: $3='(org-lookup-first $2 '(remote(Table1A, @I$1..@II$1))'(remote(Table1A, @I$8..@II$8)))
#+TBLFM:$4='(org-lookup-first $2 '(remote(Table2A, @I$1..@II$1)) '(remote(Table2A, @I$8..@II$8)))
#+TBLFM:$5=vsum($3..$4);f2


So I changed 

    1. $7-->$8 

    2. but *not* $1-->$2

Thanks very much

Uwe
