Thanks for the answer but in fact, my objective is precisely to avoid using 
the indices of the value I want to pass as input of the code block.

My goal is to use the cell name reference "varx" which would make the code 
block simpler to maintain. Indeed, if I add new data on the top of table T, 
I wouldn't have to change the reference in the code block since the name 
reference is fixed.
