Spill Error in Excel when using Table format.
mathetesHi Mathetes, Do not understand how your Data Validation reply fixes the issue.
Used Filter function formula to create results in A2:A30. Now highlighted A2:A30 to Insert Table and received #SPILL! in A2.
Issue: How do I insert/create a table (Table1) for A2:A30?
Table1 Refers To =Sheet1!$A$2:$A$30
Regards
If the question is how insert spill into the table or build table on the top of the spill - no way. One or another.
If the question is how to use spill in data validation - just A2#.
- Hi Sergei Baklan,
Thank you for the reply.
Regarding:

No. Neither of those statements is my question.
My question was "How do I insert/create a table (Table1) for A2:A30? Table1 Refers To =Sheet1!$A$2:$A$30" No where in my question is "how insert spill" nor "how to use spill".
The spill occurred when I (1) highlighted the dynamic Filter function results in A2:A30 then (2) try to create a table using the dynamic Filter function results in A2:A30 by clicking on Insert -> Table -> Create Table.
Here is what I did:
1. Using dynamic Filter function I created a formula to create results in A2:A30.
2. Highlighted A2:A30 to Insert Table (clicked on Insert -> Table -> Create Table).
Received #SPILL! Error in A2. Hence, want to create a table of the Filter results in A2:A30.

But that's exactly what you do. You use FILTER() function which returns the spill into the cells. After that you try to build the table based on the cells where the spill is already placed. As result you have #SPILL! error.
- Sergei,
Regarding your reply statement, " You use FILTER() function which returns the spill into the cells." Where did I mention that the FILTER() function returned a #SPILL! into the cells?
Here is what I said I did:
1. Using dynamic Filter function I created a formula to create results in A2:A30.
Notice, I stated "create results in A2:A30" which means the FILTER() function DID NOT return a #SPILL! into the cells.
2. Highlighted Filter function results A2:A30 to Insert Table (clicked on Insert -> Table -> Create Table).
Note: NO WHERE in A2:A30 is #SPILL!.
Received #SPILL! Error in A2 AFTER I clicked on Insert -> Table -> Create Table. This #SPILL! is NOT from the Filter Function. The #SPILL! is from the attempt to create a table using the Filter Function results in A2:A30.
What do I want to do? Create a table containing the Filter results in A2:A30.
Thank you for your assistance.
