THIS WEEK'S 'EXCEL IN SECONDS' TIP |
|
Turn Off Structured Referencing In Excel Table Formulas |
|
 When you enter a formula by selecting cell references in the table rather than manually typing them (i.e. explicit references), those names are automatically used in the formula.  As a result, many users never learn to use Tables and miss out on their many benefits. If you would like to use Tables but have been turned off by these structured references, there is a setting you can change so that the formulas you create in your Tables use normal cell referencing. To disable automatically generated structured references in your Table formulas, from the File tab, click Options, Formulas, and in the 'Working with formulas' section, uncheck 'Use table names in formulas'.  Note
that this is an application-wide setting and applies
to all workbooks you work with, however only new
formulas you create and existing formulas you edit
are affected.
Once
you are comfortable using Tables with explicit cell
referencing, I recommend you go back and give
Structured References a second look.
I
think you'll soon discover how, rather than
confusing, Structured References make Table formulas
much easier to create and understand.
