    continuing formulas down tables automatically, not working for me

    Hello,
    this issue again, the spreadsheet attached here.

    I thought if I convert these ranges to tables, then the formulas should automatically continue down the columns as new data is entered in column E and G?
    How to automate the columns F, H, I ,J to auto fill down the table?
    Column G needs to be manually entered as prices may vary per sale.

    kind regards,

    I see the calculator you attached works when I downloaded it...!
    did you do anything after converting back to table again prior to typing into G15?
    I had noticed the drop down menus were there but the down arrow was missing in your sheet,

    I delete all rows below G14 to clear out everything below.
    Table auto fill every formula include Data Validation
    I use Excel 365.

    You can't convert PART of a table to a range. Select the whole table.

    Re: continuing formulas down tables automatically, not working for me

    I select all the table columns, but its still greyed out...
    if I select the whole sheet or other columns besides these, I get no ability to choose the table design tab,

    Re: continuing formulas down tables automatically, not working for me

    There are columns in your table not selected (A to D and K just from the visual). That's why it's greyed out.

    Re: continuing formulas down tables automatically, not working for me

    there has to be something wrong with this attached spreadsheet..
    because I can create a table, and then partially relase the table to a range or the whole table to range in another sample spreadsheet attached here,
    and the original attached here that has the problem.
    wondering if I have to release the drop down menu`s or formulas.

    kind regards,
    Have you checked the auto-correct options on your sheet ?
    File tab - Options- proofing - Auto correct options - auto format as you type - see if the two last check boxes are checked

    Re: continuing formulas down tables automatically, not working for me

    I am not able to replicate your issue. I downloaded the sales affiliate payments calculator_columns not working.xlsx‎ file, enabled editing, selected cell J21 and pressed the tab key. E22:J22 then became the next row in the table and the formulas in F22, H22:J22 all copied down. The data validation also worked in cell E22.
