Microsoft Excel spreadsheet supports the ability to create tables for managing and analyzing related data. Supports the ability to copy and paste tables and their parts with full or partial preservation of formatting.
Instructions
Step 1
When completely copying a table from one sheet to another, right-click the intersection of the column names and row numbers. Select copy from the drop-down menu. Go to another sheet and paste the contents of the clipboard in the same way, choosing the "Paste" item. All data will be inserted in full accordance with the original (format, font, column width, line height, etc.).
Step 2
In cases where an incomplete table is copied, or there are several tables on the sheet, select the required part. To do this, press the left mouse button and, without releasing it, drag the contour to the required number of cells. Press Ctrl + c, or select "Edit", "Copy" from the main menu. The same can be done using the context menu using the right mouse button.
Step 3
Position the cursor on the cell from which you want to insert. This will be the upper left corner of the pasted snippet. Call the context menu by clicking the right mouse button. In the case when you just need to paste cells as they are, select "Paste" (or Ctrl + v). If you only need to insert formulas, keep the width of the cells, take into account any other sample settings, use the "Paste Special" command. The same service allows you to insert a link between data.
Step 4
If you need to add the copied data to an existing table, select "Add copied cells" from the context menu. In the dialog box, specify whether to insert the range - shift to the right or shift to down.
Step 5
Find the "Insert" tab in the main menu of the program. Click here on the "Table" button. The object creation dialog will be launched. Mark if a heading is needed by checking the box next to “Table with headings”. Click on the icon to enter the cell selection mode to specify the location of the table. Select the required cells. When finished, click the exit selection mode icon. A table appears in the selected range with headers such as Column1, Column2, and so on.
Step 6
Simultaneously with the output of the new table, the corresponding constructor is launched. Select the required service depending on the tasks. You can create a pivot table, remove duplicates, convert the selected data to a range. To work with external tables, export, update, the ability to open the table in the browser, break the link with the external table are provided.
Step 7
To change the style of the new object, select the appropriate design in the Table Styles field of the designer. To the right, specify the required parameters. Specifically, check whether you need a header row, whether to display a totals row, or whether to highlight alternating rows or alternating columns. It is possible to specify the first or last column for color highlighting.
Step 8
To sort the data, for example, in the first column, click the triangle icon opposite the header, which opens a menu of additional functions. The data can be sorted in descending order, ascending order, and color. Other functions allow you to apply filters to them, search for information directly in this column.
Step 9
To change the heading of a column, select it by double-clicking it with the left mouse button and enter a new name in the input line for formulas and data. After pressing the Enter key, the title will appear in the right place.
