[Fahsid1230]

hi folks;
I have a formula in a cell like that:
{=TABLE(date,8.5x)}
what is the function TABLE used for?
any help will be appreciated.
thx

it might be a UDF? Do you have something in the workbook? Or it could be a 3rd party add-in

That looks like a custom Function that someone wrote.

Press ALT + F11 to open the VBA window.

see if you see any code in there that looks like

Function Table(some stuff here)


Post that code here.

thx for the reply.
What is UDF and do I have to adds-in click on for "analysis tool pak" to use this function? Sorry, please eloborate as I'm not good in french (just kidding)

Jonmo1...I guess you'r right. When Idid Alt F11, there is some macro wrriten behind it. SO I guess the worble "TABLE" could be any thing as long as a macro is associated with that OR the word "TABLE" actually has some functionality?

What you may have is a Table created with Data>Table. This excel tool is usually used for model testing, sensitivity analysis... It allows 1 or 2 variables. It's very handy to check how the model depends on variables.

Hope this helps

Thx pgc01, so let start from fresh, if I wanna use your approach (and this is for demonstration purpose) what I need to do from scratch on a freash sheet?
Any example that you can set for me?

Hi again

You have here a small example for a data table with 2 variables. The model in the example is very simple but the idea is to teach how to use the data tables.

There are also a lot of examples in the web for data tables with 1 variable.

Kind regards
