I have bookmarked two tables (t1 and t2). Each has 7 columns. t1 has 5 rows
and t2 has 4 rows. I want to sum t1 G5 and t1 G4. I've tried { = sum(t1 G5)
t2 G4) } and the formula disapears. Other formula formats give me syntex
errors. Does anyone know what the formula would be?
Thanks

Word can't do this sort of thing very easily: Word tables are not
spreadsheets, and there are no intrinsic cell references. However, you can
bookmark individual table cells, then use those in your formula. Eg, name
the cells Val_1 and Val_2, then use

{ = {Ref Val_1} + {Ref Val_2}}

Hi Kevin,

Your problem is the bookmark name. t1 could be interpreted as a cell address
and the Sum function is confused.

Change the bookmark name to, say, tab1 and then you can do

{ =sum(tab1 g4, tab1 g5) }

Enjoy,
