Here is one way to do it in a code block. #+tblname: tab-data | Menge (x) | P(x) | E(x) | K(x) | Gewinn | |---+--+++-| | 0 | 20 | 0.00 | 140.00 | -140.00 | |10 | 18 | 180.00 | 180.00 | 0.00| |20 | 16 | 320.00 | 220.00 | 100.00 | |30 | 14 | 420.00 | 260.00 | 160.00 | #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :var data=tab-data :results code (let ((c4 (mapcar (lambda (x) (nth 4 x)) data)) (c2 (mapcar (lambda (x) (nth 2 x)) data))) (nth (-elem-index (-max c4) c4) c2)) #+END_SRC #+RESULTS: #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp 420.0 #+END_SRC If you put the cursor on -140, and run this code, it does sort of the same thing. #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp (defun jt () find max in column, message the corresponding value in column 3.

Thank you John and Michael for your suggestions, I will see if my knowledge is wide enough to understand this, unfortunately I'm a emacs newbie :-) Anyway I will answer after testing your suggestions! Regards Thorsten
