How long does it take in Numbers to create a sheet with 52000 tables with locked formulas and labels (A-Z with 2000 tables in each column, each table with a label{#} at the top, and a sum the bottom, summing 10 rows)? And how long does it take to navigate to a specific such table?

2.57 seconds here with sc.

Already answered this... but, on re-reading I would like to see you do this... and then to show "a sheet" with the tables on it. Would be interesting to see.

I already posted a video of it.

Snit
Missed it. Can you show the link... ONE sheet with tons of tables. Would like to see it.

owl
I smell an argument about tables vs sheets coming on...

Snit
If sc uses different definitions than what I have been using that is fine... but I have been very clear what I mean by a "sheet" and a "table". From what I understand sc has nothing similar to the concept of a "sheet" at all.

There's no functional difference between "sheets" and "tables." They are just labels for particular implementations of spreadsheet functionality, with only slight differences in presentation. It's all just tabular data with numeric capabilities.

Anyway, here's the original vid: https://vid.me/pG0C

Snit
You ran a script which you had already pre-written... which is fine but somehow you forgot to mention that. :)

But I can run it again and again, and it's flexible in the number of tables, number of rows to add, etc.

Anyway, still not sure what you mean by a "sheet".

It's all the same thing.
