Smart tables are a range of cells combined into a single object. It has its own name, internal structure (areas) and formatting style.
Each such table has a name unique within the document (by default — "Table1", "Table2", etc.) and consists of the following areas:
–heading bar;
–data area;
–summary row.
Functionality
–Header editing: column names can be changed.
–Adding data: new rows and columns can be inserted between existing rows and columns.
–Copying: smart tables can be copied within a single document or between open documents. The copy gets a unique name and the links in it are automatically adapted.
–Sorting and filtering: automatically created filters are present in the column headers to manage the data.
–Appearance customization: you can change the design style from the collection, as well as enable or disable the display of table areas.
–Expansion: the table range is automatically expanded when new data is added to adjacent cells.
–Totals: in the last row you can select the type of calculation (sum, average, etc.).
–Convert: the smart table can be converted back to a normal range.
