I upgraded to the las org-mode version.
I must be doing something really wrong, since C-u C-c * doesn't
recalculate the column, it just moves the point to the first row
after the hline.
What can be that is missing here ?

Hi Haroldo,
Well, I am using the newest version of Org-mode for which you'd have
to use a filed formula for the first field in the balance column.
Then using your
formulas, `C-u C-c *' does fill the entire table:
| in | out | balance |
|-----+-----+---------|
| | | 0 |
| 30 | | 30 |
| | 25 | 5 |
| 100 | | 105 |
| 500 | | 605 |
| | 400 | 205 |
| | | 205 |
#+TBLFM: address@hidden + @+0$1 - @+0$2::@2$3=0
So I don't know why this is not working for you.

#+TBLFM: address@hidden + @+0$1 - @+0$2
That's how the table looks like after
- creating the table
- filling columns 1 and 2 with numbers
- creating the column formula in column 3, and
- typing C-c * in @3$3 , @4$3 and @5$3
The complete filling of the $3 column doesn't take place by issuing
the commands in http://orgmode.org/org.html#Updating-the-table. If I
go to @6$3 , @7$3 and @8$3 and type C-c * I obtain what I want,
being:
| in | out | balance |
|-----+-----+---------|
| | | |
| 30 | | 30 |
| | 25 | 5 |
| 100 | | 105 |
| 500 | | 605 |
| | 400 | 205 |
| | | 205 |
#+TBLFM: address@hidden + @+0$1 - @+0$2
I know that what I'm asking should be of easy achievement on my own,
but I got somewhat frustrated when I use the commands and the
filling doesn't happen. Thanks for helping me.
best,
haroldo

recalculate line, and the fine result appears there , as expected.
But if I approach Calculate / Recalculate all , in fact , nothing
happens. I tried many times, without result. Recalc line works
perfectly, but that does not seem what I'm looking for, which would
be a recalculation of all the fields in the column that holds my
column-formula. I'll continue reading until I find out, but if you
come up with an answer earlier I'd be grateful in advance ! :-)

C-c ' and then go to each of the references and type S-downarrow as
many times. I'd thank any idea here.
