Instead of text, table cells can also contain Harvey balls and checkboxes, as well as images, whose state is dynamically controlled by the internal datasheet or a linked range in an Excel sheet. 17.4 Adding Harvey balls, checkboxes and images You can also style any cell in a table as a Rounded Rectangle, by selecting it and clicking Rounded Rectangle in the cell content control. These options are particularly useful when creating a table from an already formatted Excel sheet, as explained in Creating a table from Excel. Note: The option to Use Datasheet Border is always activated or deactivated for the whole table at once. To also have the borders between cells styled exactly as they are in Excel, simply select any cell in the table and activate Use Datasheet Border in the floating toolbar. Using the corresponding control in the floating toolbar. Use them to set the colors the rows should alternate between.Īlternatively, you can let the formatting of a table cell be controlled by that of the corresponding datasheet cell, by setting Use Datasheet. The think-cell toolbar now includes two fill color controls instead of one.Choose Horizontal Stripes from the alternate colors control.Select all rows that should alternate between colors. The alternate row colors feature is especially useful for tables. To format a whole column or row, use multi-selection with the lasso or the Shift and Ctrl keys (see Multi-selection). You format a table like any other think-cell element by changing the font and font colors and setting a table cell background fill (see Formatting and styling). To override the automatically determined size and position of the table, you can resize the table by holding down the Ctrl key and dragging and fix its position by using the locks (see Setting a fixed size or locked position of elements). In addition to changing the table's datasheet, you can also insert, delete, duplicate and move cells and whole columns and rows as described in Text boxes. A table is made up of think-cell text boxes. Your table will be resized automatically based on its contents and placed on the slide automatically based on other think-cell elements on the slide (unless its edges are fixed to a position as indicated by red lines with closed locks). 17.2 Setting the size and position of a table This means that when you select one of them and delete it, the whole table will be deleted. Note: All cells of a think-cell table are grouped by default (see Grouping). In the same way, you can simply delete cells, rows or columns from the datasheet to remove them from the table. You do not need to manually add additional columns or rows. Whenever you change or add data, your think-cell table will reflect this. To open the datasheet again later, double-click any table cell. It is openend automatically after you insert a table: All tables in think-cell are data-driven, so they have the same internal datasheet as think-cell charts. To insert and place a table on your slide, choose Table from the Elements menu. 17.1 Inserting a table 17.2 Setting the size and position of a table 17.3 Formatting a table 17.4 Adding Harvey balls, checkboxes and images 17.1 Inserting a table See Creating a table from Excel for more information. In both cases, the table will appear in the Data Links dialog together with all linked charts. You can link a think-cell table to an existing Excel worksheet, either by creating a think-cell table in PowerPoint directly from the think-cell ribbon in Excel or by connecting an existing table to an Excel range. Using the table element you can insert a table that will be automatically resized and positioned on your slide.
