To add new data, click New and type the data into the relevant text boxes. The form heading is the sheet name, and the form contains boxes where you can preview the current form data and add new data. To use the form, click somewhere inside your table and then click the Form button to display a form dialog area. Click Add to add the tool to the Quick Access Toolbar, and then click OK. In the Choose Commands From list, click All Commands and then scroll down and click Form…. To make it easier to find, you can add it to Excel’s Quick Access Toolbar: Click File > Options > Quick Access Toolbar. Earlier versions of Excel included a handy Form tool that tool is still available, but you won’t find it on the Ribbon. Typing lots of data across a wide table can be quite cumbersome often, entering data into a form is easier. Enter Data Using a Simple Form Excel’s hidden Form feature creates a data entry form for your table automatically. Tables of this type are extremely useful when you work with data that expands or contracts over time. Creating a chart based on the table is the same as creating any chart in Excel-only the behavior of the chart is different. This is the case whether you add data to the bottom of the table or introduce a new column to the right of it. So a column chart that charts the values in a range will expand to incorporate new values when you add them to the table. One significant benefit of formatting a list as a table is that charts created from table data change dynamically when you add data to or remove data from the table. Create a Chart From Table Data Charts created from Excel tables automatically expand and contract as you add data to or remove data from the table. You may choose other calculation options from this drop-down list, including Min, Max, Count, and Average. This operation will add a SUBTOTAL formula to the cell that will total only visible values when the table is filtered. To add a total to any other column, click in the appropriate cell in the Total row, and in the drop-down menu click SUM. If the last column contains numerical values, Excel will automatically use a SUBTOTAL function to sum them. In either case, a total row will appear at the foot of the table. When you want to add a total row to the table, click inside the table, right-click, and choose Table > Totals Row or click inside the table and click Table Tools > Design > Total Row. Click Increase Indent more than once as necessary to position the heading text well clear of the filter arrows. If the cell contents respond by jumping to the left edge of the cell, click Home > Align Right to return them to right justification. To do this, select the cells containing the headings that are partly hidden and click Home > Increase Indent. The workaround is to indent the content from the right side of the cell. The arrows cover the rightmost characters in the headings, and there is no obvious way to fix the problem. The filter arrows in an Excel table’s column headings look downright ugly when those headings are right-justified. Click Yes when Excel prompts you with ‘Do you want to convert the table to a normal range?’ and the table will revert to being a regular range-but with its attractive formatting intact. Next, click inside the table and then click Table Tools > Design > Convert to Range. To borrow a table style for any worksheet, first create the data as a table, making sure to choose your preferred table style for formatting it. But while this limitation is technically true, you don’t have to keep the table features if you don’t want them.
The only potential problem is that it may seem that you can’t get the formatting without getting all the unwanted table features as well. Take the Format but Ditch the Tableįormatting data as an Excel table is the quickest way to achieve a neatly formatted range of cells in Excel. The shortcut keystroke combination Shift-Ctrl-L accomplishes the same thing. Now you can toggle between hiding the arrows with one click and revealing them with the next. To do this, click somewhere inside the table and then click Data > Sort & Filter > Filter. When you want to use some features of an Excel table, but you don’t plan to filter or sort your data, you can hide the filter arrows. Click the Filter option to toggle the display of the filter arrows on or off.
