I don't understand this formula {=TABLE(d19,d21)} - please help
 

I'm looking at someone else's Excel model and it included what appears to be
a 5x5 table with the following formula: {=TABLE(d19,d21)}

If I change the values in D19 and D21, the table changes, but I can't figure
the source of this function. Anyone know what this function is doing? Your
help would be much appreciated

Hi

It is part of a 2 variable Data Table found under DataTable

Look up Help for 2 variable Data table and you will see an example with
interest payments against time which will explain it to you.

Excel creates those formulas when the user accesses the Data-Table menu.
That feature allows you to substitute several different value inputs into a
formula or model and Excel calculates the out put for each input (1-way data
table), or each combination of inputs (2-way data table)

Look in Excel's help file for "About data tables"

Presumably a User Defined Function?
[Or an Add-In]

The problem is that I can't figure out what formula (or where) the
table is drawing from...any ideas?

Hi

As I said, look at the help example.
Set one up in the same manner as they show in help on a new sheet and
you will understand it.
The TABLE is a function, as opposed to be being a range of cells. It
takes the parameters that are in D19 and D21 as its inputs.

Work through the built in example.

Thanks for your help, I figured it out. The creator of the
spreadsheet had a hidden row, and then also chose white as the color
of the print so that there was nothing showing up for the formula.
Once I figured that out, it all became clear. Thanks again.
