As with all things in Latex; it can be done, but it might not make sense.
If you have tables and figures throughout your document you might come across the problem that your \ref{} command considers tables and figures the same thing and therefore gives the wrong number. For instance if your document has tables and figures appearing in the following order
Table 1
Table 2
Figure 1
and you try to reference Figure 1 you might actually get a "3" instead of "1." This happens if you label your figures and tables wrong. To avoid this always make sure the \label{} is AFTER the \caption{} for both tables and figures. That should make everything work fine.
Remember
\caption{}
\label{}

Thank you, I had exactly this problem and your advice solved it!
Yes, thank you! I was tearing my hair out with a couple of tables for my thesis until I found your blog. Placing the label in the right place made my references work correctly. :-)
Thank you! I was tearing my hair out with two tables for my thesis. I could not understand why my references to the labels for each were not resolving correctly. It's all about placement within the table block! :-)
