Do you see why your question here showed your ignorance of what a table is? If a table has data only in a certain range that does not make the rest of the table cease to be a table.owlSnit
Any set of tabular data can be considered a table. When you create a table in Numbers, if you do not use the entire maximum column and row limits, do you say that it is not a table?
Do I say the table is not a table? Um, no. That would be silly. But I do not claim that different parts of the same table are different tables, as you do.
Did you even understand this? Do you understand the difference between a range in a table and a table?owlSnit
Of course you don't.
Right: I call a table a table, not a range in a table a table.
Do you see why what you claimed it "seemed" like I was saying was not at all what I was saying?owlSnit
But how can it be a table if you're not maxing it out?
A shoe is a shoe even when your foot is not in it. A sole of a shoe does not become a shoe, though, even if you reference it as one.owlSnit
That seems to be what you're saying.
Not even slightly. I mean, really, it is not even remotely connected to anything I said. Hey, I said you said something about rows you did not (though understandably I was confused by your lack of proper terminology)... here you are claiming I am saying something I never did. OK. Good test to see if you are as honest as I am.
Here, maybe this will help you:owlowlSnit
So given that it *is* still a table without using the all the cells, how does that subset of the maximum cells anchored at A0 differ from any other subset?
Assuming you mean: Given it is a table how does one range differ from another? If so it is because they are different ranges... in the case of what you are referring to they are not even overlapping ranges.
If that is NOT what you mean then I would need you to explain what you are even trying to say.
You seem to have a density problem.
