how do I paste copied formulae without losing refences to tables?
I have created a formula that uses a lookup table. I want to copy this
formula and paste it into cells in a column. However, the refence to the table change as I repeat paste the formula into the subsequent cells. Is there a way around it? |

You could name the table
select the table Insert|Name|Define (in xl2003 menus) Or you could make sure that the address is written with absolute references. =vlookup(a1,sheet2!$a$1:$b$33,2,false) Or if the table is on a dedicated sheet, just use the entire column: =vlookup(a1,sheet2!a:b,2,false) Dave N wrote: I have created a formula that uses a lookup table.
