I received an Excel workbook from someone and when I'm looking at it I see they are using formulas like
=[@[prior_year_usage]]/12 (where prior_year_usage is text entered as the column header (row 1)).

I've never seen that. Can anyone explain how that is done?
 

Excel Facts

Which came first: VisiCalc or Lotus 1-2-3?
Dan Bricklin and Bob Frankston debuted VisiCalc in 1979 as a Visible Calculator. Lotus 1-2-3 debuted in the early 1980's, from Mitch Kapor.
Thank you for the reply. I've learned something today. I don't normally use Tables. I will have to try using them on occasion.

You're welcome.

They are both a blessing and a curse..
Lots of handy and cool features about them.
But learning and using that structured reference style is a pain.
