Public Interface TableColumn
The following members return TableColumn objects:
The TableColumn objects are stored in the TableColumnCollection collection that is available via the Table.Columns property. You can access an individual table column by its index from the collection. A TableColumn object provides a set of properties to modify an individual table column. For example, use the TableColumn.Name property to get or change the table column name that is displayed in the column header cell. Use the TableColumn.Total, TableColumn.TotalRowFormula, TableColumn.TotalRowArrayFormula, TableColumn.TotalRowFunction and TableColumn.TotalRowLabel properties to specify how the column total should be calculated. Use the TableColumn.Range or TableColumn.DataRange property to obtain a cell range that contains the whole table column or only its data, etc.
To add an empty column to the table, use the TableColumnCollection.Add method. To remove a column from the table, use the TableColumn.Delete method.
This example demonstrates how to create a table from a range of cells. The sample range includes a list of products and invoice information on each product: price, quantity and discount.
The resulting table will provide an additional column to calculate the amount per product, and an additional row to show the total amount. Follow the steps below:
Create a Table
Format the Table

Table Header Row

Table Total Row
