This is a feature. Archived subtrees are ignored when calling column
view. As you noticed, in this case, removing the tag is the way to go.

There is no #+NAME: mytable in your example.

OK, so I guess there wase a TBLNAME line somewhere within the file. Be
sure it is located above the table, not above the dynamic block.

This is fixed. Thank you.
