4.2.2 Converting a Regular Table to an Embedded Table

To convert a regular Data Table to an embedded table, follow these steps:

1. In the table title bar, click the 'Change View' button. Select 'Live Preview' from the menu. This will populate the table with data.

2. Right-click the title bar of the table, and select 'Convert to embedded Table'.

This creates a new table with the name of 'Query'. Once the table is converted into an embedded table, it cannot be reverted back to a regular table.

Example: Converting to an Embedded Table  >>

In the following example, the 'Sales by Category' query is converted to an editable embedded table.

1. Create a new Worksheet by clicking on the 'New Worksheet' button.

2. Expand the 'Data Source' node, and then the 'Orders' node.

3. Drag the 'Sales by Category' node from the tree to an empty cell in the Worksheet. A new table named 'Sales by Category1' is created.

4. Expand the table vertically so that it occupies a total of 11 rows in the Worksheet.

 

5. Click the 'Change View' button in the table title bar, and select 'Live Preview' from the menu.

 

6. Right-click on the title row and select 'Convert to Embedded Table'. A new table will be created with a name of 'Query1'. Expand the number of rows so that all rows are visible.

 

7. Now, click on any of the cells of the 'Query1' table. Notice that all of the cells in this table are now editable.
