I see that tables can easily format a big range of cells using
fancy multi-colored rows and column headers. Is there any
other benefit or reason for using such a table?? It seems to
me that I could manually format all my cells' colors and
borders....so, does that mean that a table is just a fast and
easy way to format a big range?? I'm just looking for
reasons why anybody would use tables (other than fast
formatting).

Thank you

Hi Robert,

I assume that you mean in xl2007. The biggest advantatage I have seen is
that each table can have it's own separate Autofilter.

I will be monitoring this thread to see what others have to say.
