How Do I Split an Excel Table?

To split an Excel table into two separate tables, follow these steps:

1. Select the Starting Row: Click on the row that you want to be the first row of the second table. This row will become the header row for the new table.
2. Navigate to the Layout Tab: With your cursor inside the table, a "Table Design" tab (or "Layout" tab in older Excel versions) will appear in the Excel ribbon at the top of the screen. Click on this tab.
3. Split the Table: In the "Table Design" or "Layout" tab, look for the "Merge" group. Within the "Merge" group, find and click the "Split Table" button.

Excel will then divide your original table into two separate tables at the row you selected.

Example:

Let's say you have a table with data about employees:

Name	Department	Salary
Alice	Sales	50000
Bob	Marketing	60000
Charlie	Sales	55000
David	HR	70000

If you want to split the table so that "Charlie" is the first employee in the second table, you would click on the row containing Charlie's information, then follow the steps above. The result would be two tables:

Table 1:

Name	Department	Salary
Alice	Sales	50000
Bob	Marketing	60000

Table 2:

Name	Department	Salary
Charlie	Sales	55000
David	HR	70000
