Default Table names in formulas in Excel 2007

In Excel 2007, I get an error when trying to use table names in formulas. Eg.
I am trying to 'Sum' a column of figures whose heading is 'Jan' and I have
entered the function as =SUM(Jan). The option 'Use table names in formulas'
has been activated.
Jan
223
223
114
=(Sum)Jan
The result is #NAME?
The same procedure works perfectly in Excel 2003.
Thanks

Default Table names in formulas in Excel 2007

Hi Misha,

You need to put the name of the table first, and the name of the column in
square brackets, ie.

=sum(Table1[Jan])

--
Hope this helps
