You're welcome. Just a minor fix: although the code works fine,
naturally the asterisk in `let' was unnecessary. This is a new version
with the code explained, in case you find it useful:

#+begin_src emacs-lisp :var data=s1 col=3
  (let* (
         ;; return a list from elemens in column number `col'
         (list-from-column (mapcar (lambda (r) (format "%s" (nth col r))) data))
         ;; make a list of lists = a new table that contains one single column
         (new-table (mapcar 'list list-from-column)))
    new-table)
#+end_src

Regards,

Juan Manuel
