Excel Table where all columns have formulas

    I have data in the range A1:B100

    Separately, In the range E1:G500, I have an Excel table - all 3 columns (E,F,G) are determined by formula.

    The formula in E1 = if(A1="","",A1), therefore, my table has data in E1:G100, because there is data in A1:A100.


    Now when I add more data, i.e. A101:B101, my Excel table in E-G does not auto-expand, even though there is now data in E101:G101.

    (Yes, I have the auto-correct options all set properly.)

    The green marker signifying the "end" of the table is on cell G100.

    The problem I think, is that data is not manually added to the table in E-G; it is added only by virtue of formulas, dependent on whether or not cols A-B have data.


    Is there a way to force my Excel table in E-G to auto-expand properly in this scenario?

    I know I could simply resize my table to E1:G500 but that will cause issues with charts based on that table, i.e. there would be nearly 400 blank rows in that case.


    Thank you so much!

    Can you attach an example of the workbook. I don't understand how the formulas relating to the frst table expand in the second table, unless you have entered then manually into the column first.

    Why can't you include all the columns in the table?
