Apple's explanations can be terse.

From your screenshot it appears that you are already there! You have already selected a table style and control-clicked to get the menu that appears. That looks normal.

To see the + simply scroll right through the styles (click the right "arrow" > ) until you see the big +.

for ms windows converts - wanted to update the thread topic:

found out that if you are converting "*.xlsx" files (ms excel) into numbers the table "+" along with table style features are not available. however, all of these issues go away if you create a new numbers file and copy over the data into the new file.

it's all good. i have read enough posts to not let it become bothersome. regardless, your screenshot showing the "+" never shows on my end. i have scrolled through all of the table styles and it never comes up. it simply recirculates the various table styles available (numbers v15.4 build 7051.0.79). with regards to where this information came from for user camelot:

I'm not quite sure I understand what you're asking...

What '2 options' are you looking for? What support page are you referring to?
