Yes it is quite annoying. After your help I tried various combinations
of (quote),(print),(string),(number-to-string) and (concat), both in the
TBLFM line and in the source block but found that this is the only way
to get a slightly unsatisfactory result:
| Days | H:M:S | |
|------+-----------+-------------|
| 29 | 236:30:00 | "236:30:00" |
| | | |
#+TBLFM: @2$3='(print (concat "\"" @2$2 "\""))::@2$1='(sbe workingDays (hms
@2$3))
