Hi Dee,
Did you examine the field coding? To do so, select one of the fields and press Shift-F9. You might find it easier if you copy the
field out of the table and paste it somewhere where the cell boundaries won't constrain the layout.

Hi there,
Yes, I had read you information today. I'm sorry, but I just don't grasp
how to incorporate a Seq field within my formula to reference the correct
relative address. (I'm blonde! :-) )
My thought was to reference the row number, somehow having something like:
=a(seq field)-b(seq field)
I have a feeling I'm totally off base.
Any help (baby step-by-step) would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
I've found some guidance through the posts regarding "relative" cell
addresses within a table, but can't seem to figure out exactly how to input
the formula using the Seq field.
For example, say I have a table with 3 columns and 3 rows. I want to be
able to input a formula in cell C1 that will subtract A1-B1.
Using an absolute formula won't work, as I will be revising the table every
month. I had thought of embedding an Excel file, but for what I'm doing, it
isn't feasible.
Can anyone help with the exact syntax of how to achieve this? Every time I
try, I get a syntax error.
Thanks!
