Create Subtables with filtered rows from a master table.

Hi,


I have a master sheet with Guest Names and table numbers/names.


I’m wanting to create sub tables for each table number/name that appears in the master list and have everyone’s name assigned to that table appear in the list.


Thanks!

Have you tried Add Category for ... ?




Result:





It's often easier to leave the data in the same table and just add/change names there. But if you need separate tables in the end just create a new table, select the cells you want from the data table, command-c to copy, click a cell the destination table, and command-v to paste.


Another way would be to use a Pivot Table to quickly set up separate tables.


Click in the data table and from the menu choose Organize > Create Pivot Table > On Current Sheet and set it up like this (just drag Table down into the Rows box and Name into the Values box):





The right-click (control click) a cell of the Pivot Table and choose 'Create Table for Data Source':




That gives you something like this:



Which you can quickly clean up into something like this:
