Say you want a 2x2 Table in an IDML file, the hierarchy would look something like = Story -> ParagraphStyleRange -> Table

A minimal Table element looks like this -

<Table Self="u126i190" ColumnCount="2" BodyRowCount="2" FooterRowCount="0" HeaderRowCount="0">     
    <Row Self="u126i190Row0"  Name="0"/> 
    <Row Self="u126i190Row1"  Name="1"/> 
    <Column Self="u126i190Column0" Name="0" SingleColumnWidth="47.760000000000005"/> 
    <Column Self="u126i190Column1" Name="1" SingleColumnWidth="47.760000000000005"/>
    <Cell Self="u126i190i5" Name="0:0" ColumnSpan="1" RowSpan="1"> 
        <ParagraphStyleRange AppliedParagraphStyle="ParagraphStyle/$ID/NormalParagraphStyle">             
            <CharacterStyleRange AppliedCharacterStyle="CharacterStyle/$ID/[No character style]"/> 
                <Content>Row 1 Column 1</Content>
           </CharacterStyleRange>
        </ParagraphStyleRange>
    </Cell>
    <Cell Name="1:0"> .... </Cell>
    <Cell Name="0:1"> .... </Cell>
    <Cell Name="1:1"> .... </Cell>
</Table>

The value of the Name attribute for a cell is = ColumnName:RowName.
