SergeiBaklan so you cannot use named ranges in the table?
was it the case that you could use named ranges in a table before and not get the spill error, I am just wondering as the tutorial used the named ranges in the table and it is not possible to do this now.
thanks for your help

Nope, you can't use them within the tables for the Excel which support dynamic arrays. Perhaps tutorial is bit outdated and for previous Excel versions.

SergeiBaklan yeah it must be and thanks very much for your help, hopefully this change is recognised in the exam as I am using 365 rather than 2016 . 🙂
