    Straight to the point with interesting facts and usually some humor. Chandoo for the win
    Bonus tip: when copying by dragging a table reference, it will act like a relative reference. To make it absolute, use the range operator, :
    Example - Table1[[Column1]:[Column1]]

      Thanks Patrick.
      Awesome Bonus tip btw...

    • @GeertDelmulle

      Furthermore: you can combine the range operator with the @ (I call that the row context operator) such that you can make absolute references in column formulas. In conclusion: there are no limitations when using structured references and they are easier to interpret than the classic cell references, IMO.

    @Chandoo, Thanks for sharing this really handy explained content! I really love the way you explain things.
    However, I would like to add following construction when excel intelligent tables are used:
    table1[[column1]:[column1]]
    this will fix the column when you need to spill to the left hand side or right hand side. Of course referring to a row value with @ sign will just work as usual

    • @chandoo_
      @chandoo_  3 года назад +1

      Very good tip Freshwood... I normally use the Copy / Paste option to fix my table references (if you drag the formula, the refs change, but if you copy paste they remain same). But using col:col is a cool option :)

    Great video, Chandoo. What is the difference between referring to a column in a table using the at symbol vs not using it

    • @chandoo_
      @chandoo_  3 года назад

      The [@column] syntax only gets you current row data in the table. Normally, it is used only inside a table for adding extra calculations (as new columns)
      [Column] syntax refers to entire column of values and useful for doing operations both inside & outside the table.
      Practice them on the sample file in this video and you should know how & when to use them.

    Dear Chandoo,
    How to fix the reference of a cell, inside a table, as it was done, in REF 3, with the formula SUM($E$6:E6), to arrive at the total amount? 🤔

    • @chandoo_
      @chandoo_  3 года назад

      GREAT Question Jose. I will make a video about this for sure. But here is one way to do it.
      =SUM(sales[[#Headers],[Amount]]:[@Amount])
      SUM formula ignores any text values in the data, so it will sum up running total inside the table. Just change the column names based on your table.

    • @JoseAntonioMorato
      @JoseAntonioMorato 3 года назад

      @@chandoo_ Dear Chandoo,
      I didn't know the use of the header in the formula. It was very good. ❤
      Until now, I used the following formula:
      =SUM(INDEX([Amount],1):[@Amount]).
      I'm going to use the method you described and which I thought was really cool. 👍
      Hugs. 🤗

      Normally, we don't use R1C1 style. So there is no value in learning that at beginner stages.
      But the other things you should consider (might add them in a future video) are,
      Named References
      Off sheet & Off workbook references
      3D references
      Spill references

      Sorry Sriram. I am not familiar with the inner workings of Infosys to comment. I suggest reaching out to someone else in the organization who is working the position you aspire and getting some mentorship.
