I'm not sure where you got this: the tutorial's table does not have a field formula afaict. If you eliminate the field formula, the example works - just do C-c C-c on the #+TBLFM: line: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- | Col1 | Col2 | Col3 | Col4 | Col5 | |------+------+---------+------+------| | a | a | | b | | | b | a | | | | | c | d | | | | #+TBLFM: @2$3='(mapconcat 'identity (delete-dups (list @2$1..@>$1 @2$2..@>$2)) " ") --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- I don't know why the field formula fails. > > The version of emacs is GNU Emacs 24.3.1 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, ) of > 2013-07-27 on roseapple, modified by Debian > Org-mode version 7.9.3f (release_7.9.3f-17-g7524ef @ > /usr/share/emacs/24.3/lisp/org/) > -- Nick
