Question

I have a table1 in one sheet that is feeded through a SQL Command, i have another table2 in another sheet that makes references to table1. I need table2 to resize the number of rows according to table1, how can i do that (Hopefully without VBA)?

Table2 is a table which has a calculated column and then every other column are table1 columns.

My references in table2 are like this:

calc(table1[column1]) table1[column1] table1[column2] ....

Note: I have tried using @ in the column reference but it did not work.

I resolved it using VBA, so until anyone posts here a VBAless solution here is what you need to do:

1. Create a named range which we will call range1 on the formulas menu -> name manager

   =OFFSET(‘table2’!$A$1,0,0,ROWS(table1[#All]),COLUMNS(table2[#All]))

2. Go to VBA and create the following sub:

   Sub ResizeMyTable()
   
       ThisWorkbook.Sheets("sheet2").ListObjects("table2").Resize [range1]
   
   End Sub
   

The following logic is up to you, i created a button and did a call ResizeMyTable to update the table.
