Hi
I've been trying to understand the process for locking a row and or column in a table with names ranges.
I've looked at various articles which all agree about repeating and wrapping in double square brackets.
table1 [ [column1]: [column1]]
Table14[[#Headers],[Color]] this returns the header 'color', which is what i want to lock.
Table14[[#Headers],[[Color]]:[Color]]]
[Table14[[#Headers],[Color]]:Table14[[#Headers],[Color]]]
[Table14[[#Headers],[Color]]:Table14[[#Headers],[Color]]]
I've tried wrapping various parts using an ampersand and wrapping the whole thing in brackets but get continual errors any suggestions.
Richard.
