Hello all,

I am getting a workbook ready. The first tab will be a summary of the rest of the book.

The other tab will contain all the data for each product as shown below roughly.
Av GP%Av Cash MarginNb Item/Category
Product Category_1
Products_1
Products_2
Product Category_2
Products_3
Products_4
Product Category_3
Products_5
Products_6

<tbody>
</tbody>


Now I have named each row and column on that table and tried to use the INDEX function to return the value in the summary tab. My formula was {=INDEX(table_name,Product_Category_1,Av_GP)}

But that's obviously not working. The trouble is that extra rows will be added when new products are added and therefore messing up the summary.

What is the best way to achieve it without naming each cell individually?
