I tried it (on a single table too - no remote) and I get the same behavior. I can't pretend to understand how anything in org-table.el works, but I think this is a clue: on line 2678, org-table-make-reference is called. If I call it by hand like this (org-table-make-reference "a, b" nil nil nil) --> "(a, b)" Then on line 2706, calc-eval is called. If I call it by hand on the value above (calc-eval "(a, b)") --> "a + b i" I think it's trying to do arithmetic on complex numbers... -- Nick
