4.2 Creating an Embedded Table

Instead of creating a regular table from a query or data model, you can create a Data Table by manually typing values into the Worksheet. Such a table is called an Embedded Table.

There are two ways to generate an embedded table:

Create a new embedded table using the 'Embedded Table' option in the 'New Object' menu.

Convert a regular Data Table into an embedded table.

After you generate an embedded table, you can use it in the same way as a regular Data Table. Embedded tables also provide a means for Viewsheets to filter the data returned by Worksheet queries, enabling straightforward what-if analysis.
