The following should work. It uses an inline code block
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
#+TBLNAME: test-table
| key | value |
|-----+-------|
| a | 1 |
| b | 2 |
Is there any way to refer to cell @2$2 within the text of an org-mode
document, and have that reference converted to the value
src_emacs-lisp[:var d=test-table[3,1]]{d} during export?
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
