I am very confused. According to that part of the manual and I quote 
,----
| 
| where NAME can be the name of a table in the current file as set by a 
| 
| ‘#+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.
`----


Since the table is in another file I am also force to use an ID, as with
the solution I posted before. 

=org-id-get-create=
=org-id-update-id-locations=

So my problem still persists.

What do I miss
