Tables in spreadsheets provide a structured way to organize data, enhance data integrity, and enable efficient analysis and reporting.
Spreadsheet tables are organized groups of data in a spreadsheet, often with a header row and a range of cells containing related information. They make data management easier by grouping related information, improving how it looks and how easy it is to use. You can use functions and formulas on entire tables to automate calculations and reduce manual work. Tables often let you filter and sort data based on specific criteria, making analysis and reporting easier. Common uses include financial analysis, inventory management, project tracking, and customer databases.
