The following members return Table objects:

Remarks

To manage data easier and more effective, you can convert an ordinary cell range to a table. To do this, call the TableCollection.Add method with the passed range of cells. After a table is created, you can utilize the following functionalities.

  • Table Columns

  • Total Row

  • Quickly Format Tables

  • Structured References

All tables of a worksheet are stored in the TableCollection collection that is returned by the Worksheet.Tables property.

Example

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:

  1. Create a Table

  2. Format the Table

  3. Table Columns

  4. Table Header Row

  5. Calculated Column

  6. Table Total Row

  7. Total Row Function

  8. Table Ranges and Data Ranges

  9. The image below shows the results.
