    Sleeper: Interpretation of `@` sign in the formula bar

    Hi,

    I am working with an Excel file, where I observed the use of '@' sign in the formula bar in some the cells.

    Attached is one such snapshot.

    Is there any special meaning of the use of '@' in formula bar?

    Your pointer is highly appreciated.

    As I understand it, it is being used to indicate an implicit intersection operator. By that it returns a single value from the row which the formula current reside in. Please refer to the following https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/...e-c1c999be2b34

    The'@' at the beginning and the '#' sometimes at the end of a formula have to do with the new dynamic arrays


    The @ symbol precedes the reference and it forces Excel to treat the reference as it would have pre-dynamic arrays.


    The # symbol follows the reference and it makes it incredibly easy to refer to spilled ranges. You use the # after the reference to the cell in the top left corner of the spilled range.

    This looks like a formula that is dividing Column8 by Column20 within a range formatted as table. The @ denotes we're taking the cell in column 8 viz 20 from the same row as where the formula is.
