Not sure what you mean by naming table rows.
Make sure header cells are used smartly, any meaningful icons have
proper text alterantive and any controls (for selecting or editing
transactions) have accessible names, and proper header cell or
additional info.
It's hard to be more specific without seeing an example of the tables
you are trying to manage.
