Hi Sébastien and thank you for your answer.

The problem with that technique is that I'll have to name ALL the cell 
for ALL the colomn. Here's an example of my table:

#+TBLNAME: FOOD
 | Name            | Brand         | Amounts (g) | Calories | Protein | 
Carbohydrate |  Fat |
 
|-----------------+---------------+-------------+----------+---------+--------------+------|
 | Poitrine Poulet     | KirkLand      |         100 |      100 |      
24 |            0 |    1 |
 | Capeli d'angelo    | Primo         |          85 |      300 |      
10 |           63 |    1 |
 | Couscous              | Clic          |          62 |      220 
|       8 |           46 |    1 |
 | Fromage Cottage | Sealtest      |         125 |      100 |      15 
|            8 |    1 |
 | Ficello                   | Black Diamond |          21 |       60 
|       6 |            0 |    4 |
 | Concombre cru    |               |         100 |       15 |    0.65 
|         3.63 | 0.11 |
 | Clementine cru    |               |         100 |       47 |    0.85 
|        12.02 | 0.15 |

In the table 2, I would like to be able to just set a column to ie. 2 
(for "Poitrine Poulet"), then I'll be able to get all the  info of the 
different columns I need to do my calculs. I see there is also a "_" 
option for row name, but I'm unsure on how to specify the column desired 
with that name and how to get it evaluated if I need to concat something...

regards,
Alan
