Giving a table a name in org-mode

Question

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

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

Where FOO is another table. However, they don't explain how can I give a name to a table. Does any of you know how to do this?

Answer 1

Put the line

#+NAME: FOO

immediately before the table.

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

#+TBLNAME: FOO
