In Microsoft Office Excel 2003, multiplying gross revenue by the profit margin might mean typing something like =B7*E14. In Microsoft Office Excel 2007, structured referencing enables you to use the column headers in table data to build your formulas. Instead of cryptic cell locations, you can simply multiply =[Gross Revenue]*[Margin]. To use structured referencing, you first need to format your data as a table. 1. Click Format as Table in the Styles section of the Home tab. 2. Select the My table has headers check box. 3. After you have a table, click the cell where you want to insert the formula, and then type the left bracket ([). 4. Select the column that you want to use from the list that appears, press the TAB key, and then close it with the right bracket (]). 5. Repeat as you build out your formula. • Tips and Tricks Web site • Microsoft Office Online • Help Privacy note: Microsoft respects your privacy and that of your friends.
