How To Create a Table in Google Sheets

In this tutorial, I will show you how to create a table in Google Sheets .

There is no option in Google Sheets to make a table like the Format as Table option from Excel.

However, we can apply some formatting tips to create a table in Google Sheets.

You can do this manually, but it’s way easier and quicker to do with the Alternating Colors tool under the formatting menu.

Simply highlight your whole table and then open up the Alternating Colors option sidebar. Select the color scheme you want, whether you have a header or footer row, and even choose custom colors if you wish.

Also, you can create a fileter by going to the data menu and select 'Create a filter' option.

Now, this is an option to get as close as possible to a table in Google Sheets.

IMPORTANT

As of May 2024, Google Sheets has the option to format data as table 🎉

This makes G Sheets a more comprehensive tool with a lot more to offer out of the box.

Select the data range and click on “Format” and choose “Convert as a Table” option.

Alternatively, click Insert on the Menu bar and choose “Table” as an option.

oh my gosh, thank you for this, I hate watching YouTube videos to get answers because they don't get to the point and take too long to watch. You are straight to the point and brief. If every YouTuber were this straight forward maybe I wouldn't cringe every time watching the video was the only good answer pulling up on Google. THANK YOU!

table isn't about formatting... it's about exploiting the table functionalities, like automatically added rows to the already named table, table extends each time you add a row or a column ..

[afrosouleva]

But is it like a table in excel where it is named and I can call on all the rows of data inside

[TalmadgeMcGhoulaghy]

Reason I’m here is because there’s now a “Table” option in Google Sheets. They’re all pre-built with little info on how they work.
