This works better. It doesn't assume anything about the data and you can add as many horizontal lines as you want in the table. This also removes the requirement for the trailing horizontal line from the previous solution. | Row | Data Column 1 | Data Column 2 | |-----+---------------+---------------| | 1 | x1 | | | 2 | some data | more data | |-----+---------------+---------------| | 3 | | | | 4 | | | | 5 | | | | 6 | | | #+TBLFM: $1=vlen(@I$2..0)/2;EN -Bernt _______________________________________________ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
