Relative reference not working with array formula in structured table
I have an array formula that works (structured table references). I need a mix of absolute and relative references but there is nothing I can do that seems to maintain integrity of a relative refger...
Please see detailed guide on Excel table Structural references both relative and obsolete.
Unfortunately, this was not helpful. I do not have a problem with absolute references. The problem is that if I leave things as a relative reference, they do not behave as such with copying / pasting (or dragging) across to neighboring rows. I need need the reference to maintain a relative nature in an array formula. It seems the array formula changes how these things behave.
- It appears to be that solution could be very simple for this, but my hands are tied if i do not see the sample file.
when you say that Age should be relative reference then in that case looking at your formula
It should be Anthropometrics[@Age] Not Anthropometrics[Age]
without that @ sign is the whole column reference with that @ sign becomes relative reference.
also you could use LOOKUP(2,1/(Range=Condition)/(2ndRange=Condition)/(so on instead of IF formula that way you would not need to use control shift enter. again, it depends how the actual data looks like.
plz try the Anthropometrics[@Age] and if it does not work, please provide a dummy sample, so that it can be looked at.
