When you define a range as a table, Excel automatically assigns a name to the table, such as Table1 , Table2 , and so on in sequence. You can use this name in formulas and macros to reference the table. If you apply a more descriptive name to the table, you will find it easier to identify the correct table in a workbook that contains more than one table. Formulas and macros that reference the table will also be more meaningful.
