Absolute reference in excel tables
Hi,
I have a problem in copy formulas including refence to excel table columns. In a normal formula I can use $ sign for ablosute reference, but in tables ı can not use 4 sign. So when i want to copy formulas with absolute reference of table column it chages to other columns. How can i solve this problem? thanks... |

Absolute reference in excel tables
thank you for your help,
but i wonder if i can use $ sign? I want to copy the formula to more cells by just draging with my mouse. I can do my job by copy and paste but in this way i have to click on each cell that i want to copy the formula. how cannot it be possible to use $ sign in reference to table columns like "table1[column1]". I cannot understand this. did Microsoft missed that special sign $ for absolute references... "Jacob Skaria" wrote: Copy the formula from the formula bar(Right click).

Absolute reference in excel tables
Below are the different reference styles. In the initial post I thought you
are asking for copying formulas without absolute references... A1 Relative referencing. Both column and row will change if you copy or drag the formula. $A1 The column reference is fixed and will not change A$1 The row reference is fixed and will not change. $A$1 Column and row reference are fixed.

Hi,
I presume you are in Excel 2007 so your formulas are something like =Table4[[#This Row],[Regions]]*3 If you want to use absolute cell references in this case change your formulas by typing the cell addresses =$C$4*3 If would help us if you showed us the formulas you are currently using. -- If this helps, please click the Yes button.

Absolute reference in excel tables
Hello...I'm not familiar with tables in Excel, but can you use the F4 key to
get your absolute references, or is that also not available like the Shift+4 method? -- OneFineDay "ANIL ERDINC TUFEKCI" wrote: Hi, I have a problem in copy formulas including refence to excel table columns.

Absolute reference in excel tables
My formula is;
=If(Table1[column1];"<01.03.2009") like that. when i want to copy it other cells by draging with my mouse to the right cell, it turns =If(Table1[column2];"<01.03.2009"). So the column reference chages from "column1" to "column2". I know that =If($A$1;"<01.03.2009") there will be no problem because with $ sign, i make it an absolute reference. I cannot put a dollar sign in references like "Table1[column1]" The problem is in excel 2007 table references. I also want to use excel tables in the database that i used for formulas. If i change the reference to like "A1", no problem, but i don't want to change reference to a Cell. Because when i'm entering the data to database, excel tables are heplful. thank you for everbody...

Absolute reference in excel tables
For a reference to a single cell in table, "Index" is a good solution.
But i have different sutiation. My exact formula is; =COUNTIFS(Table1[Column1];"<01.02.2009";Table1[Column1];"31.12.2008"Table1[Column2];"cars") Column1 Column2 01.01.2009 cars 02.02.2009 cars 05.01.2009 cars 03.01.2009 apple My formula turns 2, which means i sold 2 cars in January 2009. By this formula i try to count how many cars i sold in January 2009. Later i want to do this formula to other months. Also for many products. What i want to do is to write the formula for January and by draging it i want to write formula for other months. I will just change the dates. However, when i drag the formula to the right cells, column numbers change. So i have to change column name also. As i cannot solve this problem by using $ sign or other things i have to copy the formula to each cell by click them one by one.

Absolute reference in excel tables
Anil
When you drag the formula; yes the column changes but if you copy the formula; select all the cells towards right and right clickPaste specialformulas then the formulas will not change. OR Even you copy cell, select cells, Enter also works Another way is to use the INDIRECT function; which will be an absolute reference Table1[Column1] becomes INDIRECT("Table1[Column1]") If this post helps click Yes --------------- Jacob Skaria "ANIL ERDINC TUFEKCI" wrote: For a reference to a single cell in table, "Index" is a good solution.

you're right if i select the cells that i want to copy the formula, it is almost the same effort as to drag the cell with the mouse. thank you very much...
