Providing a table name in org-mode

Question

I am taking the first steps in org mode. In the spreadsheet section, they give an example:

$3 = remote(FOO, @@#$2) 

Where FOO is another table. However, they do not explain how I can name the table name. Do any of you know how to do this?

Answer 1

Put a line

 #+NAME: FOO 

immediately before the table.

This applies to all current versions of org, i.e. 8.x and newer. For earlier versions of org use

 #+TBLNAME: FOO
