I have Table1 with several columns, and in Table2 there is only 1 column in which I want to concatenate the strings from the first two columns from Table1 with formula: '=A1&" - "&B1'. If I add a row to Table1, Table2 does not expand for that new row. So I tried:
Excel Formula:
=IFERROR(INDEX(Table1[Column1];ROWS(Table2[#Headers])-1);"")&" - "&IFERROR(INDEX(Table1[Column2];ROWS(Table2[#Headers])-1);"")
,
but that formula gives a general error, excel does not regard it as s formula("there is a problem with this formula")
 

Excel Facts

What is =ROMAN(40) in Excel?
The Roman numeral for 40 is XL. Bill "MrExcel" Jelen's 40th book was called MrExcel XL.
The 2nd table will not expand if Table1 is extended. Why not just use a Spill formula in a normal range & it will expand quite happily.
