Macro tasks in general belong architecturally to the trickiest, least tested and newest functionality. As you have discovered, there is still some functionality that cannot be done in a macro. If you try recording some of these and the following task depend on the oputcome of the non-existing tasks, you get errors as you describe. Still missing tasks are mainly the 'append file', 'combichem library' and some column related tasks. Despite macros are rarely used, I believe that macros have a huge potential and since the last public release I have already fixed lots of macro related issues.
If you can send me a small example, e.g. source file (can be a mockup) and one how it should look like after running the macro, then I promise you that I will make sure that all the needed macro tasks will exist and work well for the next public release. Altogether, most of it should work already. Do you want the mean() function to calculate the mean value of all values of a particular column? This does not yet exist, but could be easily implemented as sum(), median(), max(), min(). Depending on the logMode of the column, the mean would be a normal or an geometrical one.
