Table column formula with remote reference

[Wu Ming]

Hello,

#+NAME: A
Table with header row here

#+NAME: B
Table with header row here
#+TBLFML: $1 = remote(A,$1)

Does nothing. 

$1 = remote(A,@0) referring current row w implicit column does not work. Debug 
shows on row 2 of current table it returns the value of row 1, the header, on 
table A. 

Same result as above with @0$1 instead. 

$1 = remote(A,@2$1) does what expected. For every row copies the same value of 
@2$1 from table A to table B. 

Need to refer multiple columns on different tables in a column formula for a 
final table. 

Please advise. Thanks.
