Fixing addresses within data tables

Fixing cell addresses is an old topic. However, when you create a structured table (data table) and try to copy a formula that points to a cell inside it, the rules of the game change. That is, the address will not be updated as desired. These addresses can also be fixed, and in the text that follows you will learn how to do this.

Fixing cell addresses

When copying formulas Excel automatically updates the address of cells that it contains. This is a very useful feature, since it allows us to create a formula once and then only copy it into the cells where it is applied, similar to the initial cell. However, sometimes there is a need for one or more address-operands to change. In this case, we use techniques for fixing addresses in a cell.
