    Absolute reference on named table



    I used to just press "F4" to create an absolute reference in my formulas but this time saving trick doesn't work when working with named table

    =COUNTIFS(Table14[item name],"*"&W$2&"*")

    How would I "fix" Table14[itemname] so this reference remains the same when copying the formula ?

    Cheers

    If you literally copy the formula then the column reference should remain the same (absolute). If on the other hand you choose to use AutoFill to drag the formula across horizontally then the column reference will change (relative).
