Structured references
Write formulas with a table's names, like Orders[Revenue], so they read clearly and follow the table.
In this lesson
- A structured reference uses a table's names, like
Orders[Revenue], in place of cell addresses. Orders[Revenue]is the Revenue column's data, without its header, however many rows the table has.[@Price]is the price in the formula's own row. The @ means this row.
