92. Understanding Excel structured references

Understanding Excel Structured References

**Structured References** are special references in Excel that use table names and column headers instead of traditional cell references. They make formulas easier to read, especially in large datasets, and automatically adjust as the table changes.

Key Features of Structured References

  • Automatic Adjustment: Structured references automatically update when rows or columns are added to the table.
  • Readability: Instead of writing =SUM(A2:A10), you can write =SUM(Sales[Amount]).
  • Dynamic Range: Structured references expand or shrink dynamically as the table data changes.
