Hello,
A reference to a table name such as '2019-Q1-X' is rewritten to 'address@hidden' by org-edit-special. And also for '2019_Q1_X'. v9.2.3
Test case:
|---+----+--------|
| # | Q1 | 600.00 |
|---+----+--------|
#+TBLFM: @1$3=remote(2019-Q1-X,$total)
#+NAME: 2019-Q1-X
|----+--------|
| _ | total |
| * | 600.00 |
|----+--------|
With cursor in 1st table, invoke org-edit-special with: C-x '
Then save the edit with C-c C-c and notice TBLFM is now:
#+TBLFM: @1$3=remote(2019-@1$17-X,$total)
A workaround is to use 1Q instead of Q1 in table name.
