Tables in Excel 2007 (SP-1) - Information Goes Blank
It seems that when you made your table into an official "table" the column
headings were turned into text by Excel. So 2007 became "2007". So your
formulas are comparing 2007 to "2007" and returning no match. I wasn't able
to turn the heading years back to true numbers. Excel is keeping them as
text. So I tried turning the column D years into text by preceding them
with an apostrophe and that worked as did the formulas.

|I have a set of data that I am trying to turn into a table.
|
| In column D I have a date amounts entered.
| In column G I have amouts entered.
|
| The Column Headings in Columns H - O are year amounts, eg. 2007, 2008,
etc.
|
| The equations in the body of H - O are IF statements that say that if the
| Year in Col D = the Year in the Column Heading, then put in the amount
from
| Col. G., if not put in "". ( I have also tried putting a 0 in for the
false

|
| When I am in the Excel 2007 Non Table mode everything works fine. When I

|
| The cells in Cols H - O all are blank and the totals line that I had above

|
| The IF statements are still there but its as if they were gone since

|
| Any thoughts?

| Thanks
