Cell Reference Between 2 Tables

[Barb Miles]

What would be the steps to reference a cell in another table in the same
document?

Table to reference to is bookmarked as Table1
Cell to reference to in Table 1 is Bookmarked as "Developer" or the address
is B5

Table2 is on the same page, same document.
Thanks.

Hi Barb,

To use the numeric value of a cell from outside it's table, you'd use a
formula field coded like {=SUM(Table1 A1)}. This doesn't work with text or
dates & times - for them you need to bookmark the cell contents (not the
cell itself) and use a REF field to point to the bookmark.
