The table contains a bivariate probability distribution, which I need to reproduce at multiple locations in a document, and from which I need to calculate a few things (which is why I need to pass the data part to functions). This is part of a process of fixing an old Org file which no longer exports into LaTeX PDF. In some earlier version of Org the following used to work: #+name: my-table | row 1 | 1 | 2 | | row 2 | 3 | 4 | |-------+-------+-------| | | col 1 | col 2 | #+call: my-table() :hlines yes That is, in the past the table name used to sort of define a function which could then be called to reproduce the table. But this produced errors in the current version, so I started to figure out ways to achieve the same end result. Thanks! Jarmo
