Combining Tables in Numbers

How can two Tables be combined to produce a new single table with the same data, formulae and conditional highlighting without having to add rows individually and enter the data manually?


The intention is to combine several large tables with up to 100 rows in each to produce a single consolidated table. (please see attached doc).


I'm sure there's a simple way to do this but it's not immediately obvious (to me!) Thanks for your help.

Hi ntb,


Click on the "Bullseye" (top left) of Table 1 to select the whole of Table 1.



Menu > Edit > Duplicate Selection (command D).

That will duplicate Table 1 and rename the copy as table 1-1



Drag Table 1-1 by the "Bullseye" to a convenient (temporary) place on the "canvas" (Numbers sheet).



Click on any cell in the last row of Table 1-1 and press return to create a blank row (Row 5 in this example).



Row 5 of Table 1-1 is now ready to receive data pasted from another table.


Select data from Table 2 (rows 2 and down) and copy.

Click in cell A5 of table 1-1 and Paste



Rename Table 1-1 as table 3


Regards,

Ian.
