In this workbook, we have a number ofExcel Tables.

Let’s look at some ways you’re free to remove these tables.

You won’t find a “delete table” command in Excel.

If a table sits alone on a worksheet, the fastest way is to delete the sheet.

For example, this sheet contains a table showing the busiest airports in the world.

When I delete the sheet, the table is completely removed.

On this sheet, I want to remove the Orders table and leave the summaries.

I’ll grab the first column, then hold down the Shift key and grab the last.

Then I’ll Right-Click and Delete.

This command leaves all data and formatting in place and removes only the table definition.

To illustrate, here I have a table named “movies”.

What happens to formulas that usestructured referenceswhen you convert a table to a range?

Let’s look at an example.

In this table, the Total column is a formula that multiples quantity by price.

you could see the formula uses structured references.

To the right, another formula counts rows in the table using a structured reference.

I’ll undo back to the table, and try that now.

Under Table Styles, I’ll choose the “None” option.
