For example, if you open the Iris.jmp sample data file, you could reference it as:&nbsp;&nbsp; <STRONG style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 1.5em;">Data Table( "Iris.jmp" )</STRONG></P><P></P><P>Current Data Table()&nbsp; will reference the last opened or used data table. Often it is useful to assign this to its own variable right away:&nbsp;&nbsp; dt = Current Data Table()&nbsp;&nbsp; especially if you will be switching between or opening multiple tables.</P><P></P><P>I hope this helps!</P><P></P><P><A href="https://community.jmp.com/people/julian">julian</A></P></BODY></HTML> Sun, 08 Mar 2015 08:25:11 GMT https://community.jmp.com/t5/Discussions/What-is-the-table-reference/m-p/11294#M10833 jules 2015-03-08T08:25:11Z
