SYMPTOMS
If you are using a data table in Microsoft Excel and the row or column input cell refers to an external reference, you may receive the following error message:
CAUSE
The row and column input cell must refer to a cell on the active worksheet outside of the table range. This feature of data tables is by design.
WORKAROUND
To avoid the error message, you can use a cell with a linking formula ("=Sheet1!A1") as your input cell. That way the input cell is on the same worksheet as the Data Table and the "real" input cell is on another sheet.
