Hi all,

The inlined file below contains both the material needed to reproduce
the problems I have and a description of those.

* a tree with some info for column view
  :PROPERTIES:
  :ID:       monid
  :COLUMNS:  %25ITEM %PROP
  :END:
** foo
   :PROPERTIES:
   :PROP:     yow
   :END:
** bar
   :PROPERTIES:
   :PROP:     bow
   :END:
** baz
   :PROPERTIES:
   :PROP:     low
   :END:
* show the column view here
#+BEGIN: columnview :hlines 1 :id monid :skip-empty-rows t
| ITEM | PROP |
|------+------|
| foo  | yow  |
| bar  | bow  |
| baz  | low  |
#+END:
* use the data from the column view in a src block
#+BEGIN_SRC elisp :var chap = mytable :exports results
  'anything
#+END_SRC

* discussion
I open this org file with :
: emacs -q -L ~/sources/org-mode/lisp -l org.el --eval '(setq org-export-babel-evaluate nil)' tmp/mytest.org
where tmp/mytest.org is the name of the file.

First, I notice that adding the :ARCHIVE: tag to the first headline
and trying to show column view doesn't work. it seems to do
nothing. Ok so let's remove that tag again.

Now, hitting =C-c C-c= in the code block gives ~Reference not
found~. Which reference is it ? IDK.

Removing the TBLNAME line and hitting =C-c C-c= on the code block
again now gives ~Reference `mytable' not found in this buffer~. I
guess it's a better error ?

Now when I'm trying to export, I get the same errors as above, even
though I have =org-export-babel-evaluate= set to =nil=.

I honestly don't know if I'm doing it wrong or if it's org acting weird.

I have Org-mode version 8.3.4 (release_8.3.4-759-g9508dc @ /home/youngfrog/sources/org-mode/lisp/) 
I have GNU Emacs 24.5.50.1 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.14.10) of 2015-05-18 on localhost

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.

Indeed, sorry, it was lost during the testing.

thanks, I did not realize this was the way to go :

#+BEGIN: columnview :hlines 1 :id monid :skip-empty-rows t
#+TBLNAME: mytable
...
#+END:

(I thought anything between BEGIN and END would be removed on the next
update -- but the TBLNAME line is kept.)

Indeed, thanks!
