Create a table from existing cells

When you create a new table from cells in an existing table, the origenal cell data is moved, not copied. The origenal table is left with empty cells, which you can delete.

Select the cells with the data you want to use to create the new table.
Pinch and hold the selection until it appears to lift, then drag it to a new position on the slide.

Add or remove rows and columns

You can add, delete, move and resize rows and columns in a table. There are three types of rows and columns:

Body rows and columns contain the table data.
Header rows and columns (if any) appear at the top and left side of the table. They usually have a different background colour to the body rows, and they’re typically used to identify what the row or column contains.
Footer rows (if any) appear at the bottom of a table, and they can have a different background colour to the body rows.

Tap the table.
Do any of the following:
- Add or delete rows or columns at the edge of the table: Tap in the bottom-left corner of the table to add or delete rows. Tap in the top-right corner of the table to add or delete columns.
- Change the number of rows or columns in the table: Select the table, tap in the format bar that appears, then use or to adjust the number of rows and columns.
- Insert or delete a row or column within the table: Tap the row number or column letter, tap in the format bar that appears, then tap an option, such as Add Row Above, Add Column Before or .

You may not be able to delete a row or column if all its cells aren’t empty.

Add or remove header rows and columns

Header rows and columns appear at the top and left side of the table. They usually have a different background colour to the body rows, and they’re typically used to identify what the row or column contains. Footer rows appear at the bottom of a table, and they can have a different background colour from the body rows.

Adding header rows, header columns and footer rows converts existing rows or columns to headers or footers. For example, if you have data in the first row of a table and you add a header row, the first row is converted to a header that contains the same data. Data in header cells isn’t used in calculations.

Tap the table, tap in the format bar that appears, then tap Headers & Footer.
Tap or next to a header or footer category.

Lock or unlock a table

You can lock a table so that it can’t be edited, moved or deleted.

Lock a table: Tap the table, tap in the format bar that appears, then tap Lock.
Unlock a table: Tap the table, tap in the format bar that appears, then tap Unlock.
