 1. Introduction

Once you've entered information into your worksheet, you may want to format
your data as a table. Just like regular formatting, tables can improve the look
and feel of your workbook, and they'll also help organize your content and
make your data easier to use. Excel includes several tools and predefined
table styles, allowing you to create tables quickly and easily.

3
 2.1 Formatting data as a table
Select the cells you want to format as a table. In our example, we'll select the
cell range A2:D9.

4
 2.2 Formatting data as a table

From the Home tab, click the Format as Table command in the Styles group.

5
 2.3 Formatting data as a table

6
 2.4 Formatting data as a table

Tables include filtering by default. You can filter your data at any time using the drop-
down arrows in the header cells.

 3. Modifying tables

It's easy to modify the look and feel of any table after adding it to a
worksheet. Excel includes several options for customizing tables,
including adding rows or columns and changing the table style.

9
 3.1 Adding rows or columns to a table

If you need to fit more content into your table, you can modify
the table size by including additional rows and columns. There are
two simple ways to change the table size:

Enter new content into any adjacent row or column. The row or column will
be roped into the table automatically.

10
 3.2 Adding rows or columns to a table

Click and drag the bottom-right corner of the table to create

additional rows or columns.

11
 3.3 Changing the table style

Select any cell in your table, then click the Design tab..

12
 3.4 Changing the table style

Locate the Table Styles group, then click the More drop-down arrow
to see all available table styles...

13
3.5 Changing the table style
Select the desired table style.

14
3.6 Changing the table style

The table style will be applied.

15
 4. Modifying table style options

You can turn various options on or off to change the

appearance of any table. There are several options: Header
Row, Total Row, Banded Rows, First Column, Last
Column, Banded Columns, and Filter Button.

16
 4.1 Modifying table style options

Select any cell in your table, then click the Design tab.
Check or uncheck the desired options in the Table Style
Options group. In our example, we'll check Total Row to automatically
include a total for our table.

17
 4.2 Modifying table style options

The table style will be modified. In our example, a new row has
been added to the table with a formula that automatically
calculates the total value of the cells in column D.

18
 4.3 Modifying table style options

Depending on the type of content you have—and the table

style you've chosen—these options can affect your table's
appearance in various ways. You may need to experiment with a few
options to find the exact style you want.

 5. Removing a table

It's possible to remove a table from your workbook without losing

any of your data. However, this can cause issues with certain types
of formatting, including colors, fonts, and banded rows. Before
using this option, be prepared to reformat your cells if necessary.

20
