[O] Question regarding remote references in tables

[Viktor Rosenfeld]

Hi,

I'm trying to copy the values of a column in one table to another table
in. If I understand the manual correctly, this should be possible with
remote references. But I can't get it to work. In the example below, if
I evaluate the table formula, column 2 of table "bar" is copied into
column 3.

Cheers,
Viktor

* Source table

#+TBLNAME: foo
| Query | Time |
|-------+------|
|     1 |  123 |
|     2 |  234 |
|     3 |  345 |

* Reference table

#+TBLNAME: bar
| Query | Garbage | Old Time |
|-------+---------+----------|
|     1 | a       |          |
|     2 | b       |          |
|     3 | c       |          |
#+TBLFM: $3=remote(foo,$2)

* Expected

| Query | Garbage | Old Time |
|-------+---------+----------|
|     1 | a       |      123 |
|     2 | b       |      234 |
|     3 | c       |      345 |
