You may also reference constants, fields and ranges from a different table, either in the current file or even in a different file. The syntax is remote(NAME-OR-ID,REF) where NAME can be the name of a table in the current file as set by a `#+NAME: Name' line before the table. It can also be the ID of an entry, even in a different file, and the reference then refers to the first table in that entry. REF is an absolute field or range reference as described above for example `@3$3' or `$somename', valid in the referenced table. For remote references in other files, you need to use entry IDs, not tables names. At least this is how I understand it. HTH, -- Bastien
