Creating a table in Excel is easy. Of course you already have some


data available somewhere on your sheet. Select the cells that
contain the data:

Figure 1: Select the table area


Next, on the Home tab of the ribbon, find the group called "Styles".
Click on the button that says "Format as Table" (see figure 2):

Figure 2: "Format as Table" button on the Styles group of the Home


tab.

After clicking this button, Excel shows a new user interface element
called a gallery, with a number of formatting choices for your table,
see figure 3:

Figure 3: Table format gallery.


Select one of the predetermined formats. After clicking one of the
formats, Excel will ask you what range of cells you want to convert
to a table (see figure 4). If your table contains a heading row, make

sure the checkbox is checked. Click OK to convert the range to a


table.

Figure 4: Dialog asking what range of cells has to be converted to a


table.
After youve finished these steps, your table will look like figure 5.

Figure 5: Range of cells, after converting to table

Special functionality of a Table

After defining a table, the area gains special functionalities:


1. Integrated autofilter and sort functionality
If your Table has a header row, it will always have filter and sorting
dropdowns in place on the header row. See figure 6:

Figure 6: sorting and filtering dropdowns


2. Easy selecting
Selecting an entire column or row is simple: move your mouse to the
top of the table until the pointer changes to a down pointing arrow
(figure 7) and click. The data area of that column is selected. Click
again to include the header and total rows in the selection.

Figure 7: selecting an entire column of data within your table

You can also select the entire data area or the entire table by
clicking near the tables top-left corner (the mousepointer changes
to a south-east pointing arrow, see figure 8).

Figure 8: selecting all data within your table or the whole table is
just one or two clicks away.
3. Header row remains visible whilst scrolling
If your table is larger than fits on a screen and you scroll down, Excel
2007 has a nice new feature: the column letters are temporarily
replaced with the tables column names (but only whilst youre
inside the table!). See figure 9.

Figure 9: Table header names on Excels column header when


scrolling
4. Automatic expansion of table
If you type anything next to a table, Excel assumes you want to
expand the table and automatically increases the table size to
include your new entry. Of course you can undo this expansion too,
or switch off this behavior entirely.
5. Automatic reformatting
When you insert or remove a row (or column) in your table, Excel
will automatically adjust the formatting: alternate shading is kept
nicely in place.
6. Automatic adjustment of charts and other objects source range

If you add rows to your table, any object that uses your tables data
will automatically include the new data.

Table Options on the Ribbon


Once you have selected any of the cells within the table, you will
see a new tab appear on the ribbon, called Table Tools, Design.
Figure 10 shows you what the ribbon will look like after you click this
tab.

Figure 10: Ribbon after clicking the Table Tools tab.


Each group on this tab is discussed in the following paragraphs.

Properties group
The properties group (see figure 11 below) enables you to do two
things:

Figure 11: properties group on Table Tools tab


1. change the Name of the table
The name of a table is used when you refer to cells within the table
in a formula.
2. Change the size of the table
Click this control to change the size of your table.

Tools group

This group (see figure 12) has three controls:

Figure 12: Tools group on Table Tools tab


1. Summarize with PivotTable
It is obvious what this control does. After you have created the pivot
table, you dont need to worry about updating the sourcerange of
the pivot table anymore. If you add data to your table, Excel
automatically expands the source range of the Pivot table to reflect
your changes. Of course you still have to refresh the Pivot table to
see the results.
2. Remove Duplicates
Another new feature which has been added to Excel 2007. After
clicking this control, you are presented with a dialog with which you
can select the columns that you want to use to determine whether a
row in the table is unique. (see figure 13)

Figure 13: Remove Duplicates dialog


3. Convert to Range

By pressing this button you demote the table back to a normal


range. Beware if you do this when youve based e.g. a pivot table on
the range, the Pivot tables source range will not be updated and the
pivot table cannot be refreshed anymore.

The External Table Data Group


This group (shown in figure 14) is all about the source data of a table
and only applies if the data in the table has been imported into
Excel using a database- or webquery or a sharepoint list.

Figure 14: External Table Data group on the Table Tools tab of the
ribbon
This group has 5 buttons:
1. Export Data
This is in fact a combobutton. If you press it youre offered two
options,
"Export Table to SharePoint List" and "Export Table to Visio
PivotDiagram". What these are exactly is beyond the scope of this
article.
2. Refresh
Use this combobutton to refresh the external data in your table. If
you click the arrow beneath the button, youre offered a menu which
amongst others also includes "Refresh All", with which you can
refresh all external data ranges in your file.
3. Data Range Properties
This button can be used to change the properties of the external
data you have based your table on.

4. Open in Browser
If your table is a sharepoint list, this button enables you to open a
browser window with that list.
5. Unlink
If your table is a sharepoint list, this button disconnects the table
from the list.

Table Style Options Group


This group houses the controls which determine how table styles are
applied to your table (see figure 15).

Figure 15: Table Style Options group on the Table Tools tab of the
ribbon
1. Header Row
When this box is unchecked, Excel removes the header row from
your table. The cells of the header row are cleared, but Excel does
remember the header. If you type anything into any cell in that now
empty row, Excel will not overwrite that information when you check
the box again. Instead, Excel will insert a new row to show the
header. Cells below the table are then moved down.
2. Total Row
Check this box if you want a total row below your table. Excel will
automatically add a sum function below the last column in your
table.
3. Banded Rows
Check this box to get alternating shading for the rows in your table.

4. First Column
If you check this box, the first column of your table will be formatted
differently from the other columns.
5. Last Column
Formats the last column of your table differently from the other
columns.
6. Banded Columns
Check this box to get alternating shading for the columns in your
table

Table Styles Group


The last group on the Table Tools tab enables you to quickly change
the style of your table (see figure 16).

Figure 16: Table Styles group on the Table Tools tab of the ribbon
Click the dropdown button to the right of the gallery to see all
choices available to you. Hover over a particular style to see what
your table would look like when you click it. At the bottom of the
gallery there are two extra choices:
1. New Table Style
This option enables you to create your own table style.
2. Clear
Use this to remove the table style from your table entirely. Number
formats are retained.

Referencing cells in a table (structured referencing)

Excel 2007 introduces a new syntax to refer to cells inside a table.


To see how this works, click in a cell to the immediate right of the
table, hit the = sign, type SUM( and then click on any cell with data
within the table. Youll get a formula like this one:
Excel 2007: =SUM(Table3[[#This Row];[Discount]])
This syntax has been simplified in Excel 2010 and 2013:
=SUM(Table3[@Discount])
The new naming convention to refer to the cells in your table works
as follows:
Table3: The name of your table
[#This Row] in Excel 2007, @ in Excel 2010-2013 : Denotes the data
comes from the same row your formula cell is in
[Discount] : The column inside the table
Some other examples:
Descript
Excel 2007
ion

Excel 2010,
2013

The
entire
table

=Table1

=Table1

The
same
row in
the
table

=Table1[[#Thi
s Row]
[Discount]]

=Table1[@Disc
ount]

Heading =Table1[#Hea =Table1[#Head


of table ders]
ers]
Entire
table
(2)

=Table1[#All]

=Table1[#All]

Table
total
row

=Table1[#Total =Table1[#Total
s]
s]

Because of this naming convention, you are not allowed to have


more than one column inside a table with a specific heading. As
soon as you try to type a new heading that duplicates an existing
one, Excel will automatically correct the duplication by appending a
number to the new column name.
A nice feature of tables is immediately shown as soon as you hit
enter: your table is automatically resized to include your formula
(Excel has also made up a column heading for you) and the formula
is automatically copied down to fill the entire column alongside your
data! Both actions may be undone by using the smart tag that
appears.

Referring to a table from another workbook


Even though I mentioned that a table is also stored as a range name
there is a peculiarity. The range name points only to the data rows of
the table. The header row is NOT included. This means that if you
want to create a pivot table on data that is in a table in another
workbook you need to use a syntax that differs from the old days.
Normally you would refer to a range name "TableName" in workbook
"WorkbookName.xls" using: [WorkbookName.xls]!TableName
But although a table is represented by a range name, you should not
use the range name syntax as the source. Rather you must use this:
WorkbookName!TableName
This will convince Excel that you are pointing to a table and then
includes the header rows.

Conclusion
As you have seen, Tables are a great addition to Excels features.
Most of these features were already part of Excel 2003's List feature.
But Excel 2007-2013s Tables build upon that feature, significantly
improving it. The most important benefits are:

Integrated autofilter and sort functionality (filtering and sorting


was improved in 2007)
Easy selecting
Header row remains visible whilst scrolling (New in 2007)
Automatic expansion of table
Automatic reformatting (New in 2007)
Automatic adjustment of charts and other objects source range

This example is pretty cool because in about five minutes we'll create a calculator in Excel (albeit a very basic one).
This calculator will use cells A5 and B5 as the parameters and will show the addition, subtraction, division and
multiplication results for those two numbers.
We'll start with the just the two parameters:

Then we can add the formula for the addition result:

You can see that when we change the parameters (A1,A2), the result of the addition formula for our mini calculator
changes:

Hint

How to be more efficiency and save time when using Excel?

Sometimes there are numbers containing various amount of decimal place, and you may want to count
the digitals and show in a cell. You can do it with following steps:
In a blank cell, saying the Cell B2, enter the formula of =IF(A2=INT(A2),0,LEN(MID(A2INT(A2),FIND(".",A2,1),LEN(A2)-FIND(".",A2,1)))), and press the Enter key.

Then it returns the decimal place in the Cell B2. In this case, it shows 5. Now you can get the decimal
place of other numbers with copying and pasting this formula to corresponding cells.

Change the decimal place in a given range


You can change the decimal place for many numbers in a given range with following steps:
Step 1: Select the numbers you will change their decimal place. In this case, select the range of A2:A6.
Step 2: Click the Decrease Decimal button or Increase Decimal button in the Number group
under Home tab.

Step 3: Then the decimal place of numbers in the selection are changed and unified to same decimal
place. See the following screenshot:

You can also change and unify the decimal place of numbers with Format Cells by right clicking the
selection.
Step 1: Select the range that you want to change, and right click.
Step 2: Choose Format Cells from the context menu, and in the Format Cells dialog box,
click Number from the Category list, and enter the decimal places that you need. See screenshot:

Step 3: Then click OK. And the decimal places have been changed to what you want.

Change the decimal place in a given range


This method will help you change the default decimal place for the whole worksheet.
Step 1: Click the File > Options in Excel 2010; and click the Office Button > Excel Options in Excel
2007;
Step 2: In the Excel Options dialog box, click the Advanced button in left bar.
Step 3: Go to the Editing options section.
Step 4: Check the Automatically insert a decimal point option, and enter a number in the Places box.
Step 5: Click OK to confirm and save the changes. Now the default decimal place is changed.
Step 6: When you input the number 1234, it will become 12.34 automatically, if the default decimal place
is 2.

By the way, if you enter the number of 16.25893, it will shows as 16.25893, but not 16.26.
