Excel structured reference table syntax

Question

I try to avoid using Excel too much, but when I do I like using structured references as they seem a lot cleaner to write.

If I create a table called \"table1\" wit

Answer 1

The trick in such cases is to use Excel OFFSET function:

• Accessing 1st row of column named Column1 in the same table: OFFSET([Column1],0,0,1)
• Accessing 2nd row OFFSET([Column1],1,0,1)

etc.

Of course you can use this to accces another table and column by just prefixing it with the table name. For example OFFSET(Table2[Column3],4,0,1)will access the 4th row of the column 'Column3' of 'Table2'
