6. Tables, Sorting and Filtering

6.2 Structured References

Inside or outside a Table you can refer to columns by name.

Reference Means
tblOrders[Amount] The Amount column (data rows only)
tblOrders[@Amount] Amount in this row (inside the Table)
tblOrders[#Headers] The header row
tblOrders[#Totals] The Total Row
tblOrders[[#All],[Amount]] Header + data + total of Amount
tblOrders[[City]:[Area]] Columns City to Area

Worked example. Add a calculated column Amount incl GST inside tblOrders: type in the first cell

=[@Amount]*(1+GST_Rate)

and press Enter – Excel fills the whole column. Outside the Table: Pune sales =SUMIFS(tblOrders[Amount], tblOrders[City], "Pune").

Ravindra Bagale's Tip

Structured reference sideways copy kelyavar column badalto (relative sarkha) – khup students la he mahit nasta aani chukicha column yeto. Column fix karaycha asel tar tblOrders[[Amount]:[Amount]] asa liha. Suruvatila [@Column] cha arth "hya row cha" – evdha lakshat theva, baki ekdum simple aahe.

Practice task

Add calculated columns Delivery Fee (from 4.9 using XLOOKUP on the Amount) and Net Amount = [@Amount]+[@[Delivery Fee]]. Write a SUMIFS outside the Table for Blinkit sales in Nagpur.
