SnitThat's all presentation. How are tables and sheets "very different"? For that matter, how are they different in any way?

I smell an argument about tables vs sheets coming on...
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.
You are speaking in terms of sc and not in general, right? If so, thanks. Even for MS Office they are pretty much the same (though not always), but in Numbers they are very different and it is common to have more than one table per sheet (and more than one sheet per file, and more than one file per window though the use of tabs).
Other than positioning and presentation, what is the difference between a table and a sheet in Numbers?SnitowlowlSnit
Anyway, here's the original vid: https://vid.me/pG0C
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.
Sure, you can change the script... and no doubt even if we cannot find a real-world use for your exact example it is demonstrative of a huge benefit of sc.SnitAnyway, still not sure what you mean by a "sheet".owl
It's all the same thing.
In sc. Thank you.
