They allow you to define parts of an Excel workbook as a Table, which enables many useful features, including allowing formulas to be automatically filled down when data is added and automatic formatting of the Tables contents.

You can learn everything you need to know about Tables in our Expert Skills Books and E-books, but this article focuses on accessing the Table Tools Design tab on the Ribbon.

This tab is needed to work with Tables, but some users have difficulty finding it.

You can also convert a Table back into an ordinary Range using this tab and quickly create Pivot Tables and Slicers.

If you think the cells have been defined as a Table and still cant see the Table Tools Design tab, its most likely that someone has disabled it by customizing the Ribbon.

To reset the Ribbon, right-click anywhere on it and click Customize the Ribbon from the shortcut menu.

The simplest way to reset the Ribbon is to click the Reset button at the bottom of the dialog and click Reset all customizations from the drop-down menu.

If you want to do this without resetting all of your Ribbon customizations you can choose Tool Tabs from the Customize the Ribbon drop-down menu at the top of the dialog and can then confirm whether Table Tools Design is enabled.

The screenshots in our books and e-books always use the default Ribbon settings without any customizations.
