using 'hidden' for data table

I'm putting headers in data tables, where the first cell of the table is
blank. That's how it is in the print version of the document, and that's how
it has to appear on screen. To make it accessible, that cell really needs to
have some text in it and have an id so the headers in the table cells can
refer to it.
Can I put the text in, but use the 'hidden' class to make it offscreen?
Thanks
