Yes, just use the leftmost column for row names and include the header argument :rownames yes. By default, the first row will be used for column names if followed by a hline. Without a hline, use :colnames yes. E.g.: #+name: colrownamestbl | | Alpha | Beta | Gamma | |--------+-------+------+-------| | First | A1 | B1 | C1 | | Second | A2 | B2 | C2 | | Third | A3 | B3 | C3 | #+begin_src R :var data=colrownamestbl :rownames yes :results output colnames(data) rownames(data) #+end_src #+RESULTS: : [1] "Alpha" "Beta" "Gamma" : [1] "First" "Second" "Third" Yours, Christian
