Hello,

I'm trying to text in the advanced editor with a cell reference from a sheet in my workbook. I'm constantly having to manually update the advanced editor in 25 different tables which is taking me ~30minutes to run a report. Is it possible to do a cell reference for this? I've highlighted my example in the attached picture.

I've been stumped, any help would be REALLY APPRECIATED!

Press Ctrl+` to show all formulas. Press it again to toggle back to numbers. The grave accent is often under the tilde on US keyboards.
Wow, thanks for helping Sandy! I'm still in awe that you would take time on this. However, it's still generating an error message.

I added the code you provided and it gave me an "[Expression.Error] The column 'string' of the table wasn't found." error.

I'm trying to reference cell B2 on Sheet 2. I looked at your exampled and it appeared you named the cell "Table 1", so I made an assumption and did the same. I'm not sure if this contributed to the error. Was that a proper assumption on my part?

there is Table1 not Table 1
the string should be as table with exactly the same header and table name or try to experiment with it ;)

paste the rest of your M (after Source line) into Advanced Editor in my file and check if it will work
