SnitComputation is the primary function of a spreadsheet. I'm sorry to have to tell you this, but making flyers takes a backseat.

So absolutely, without a doubt, the different tables on the sheet serve a FUNCTIONAL purpose... one that is key to the tool being used.owlSnit
There is not one thing at the cell level that can be done in a sheet or table that cannot be done with the other.
Or by hand. Sure. So?owlSnit
If you insist otherwise, then name the numerical functions that are unavailable to one but available to the other.
You started by asking for the FUNCTIONAL difference between the two. Now you want to know the COMPUTATIONAL difference.
That is easy, too!LOL! Have you ever used any other spreadsheet besides Numbers? http://i.imgur.com/HTflwJQ.png
A sheet offers ZERO capability to do ANY numerical function without the addition of a table. ALL calculations are done in tables. ALL.
Or if you want to see that as a functional difference, a sheet is merely a container where you can place one or more tables, shapes, text boxes, videos, etc. It, by itself, is of little if any value.That may be true of Numbers, but then we all are aware of how Apple tries to do everything differently from everybody else on the planet.
