It would be better if you posted a detailed description of
exactly what you would like to do. You will get more help
that way.

As previously mentioned, please explain in more detail what you are trying to
do. At its most basic level, you simply type information into cells in the
arrangement you want your table to be in. Typically tables have one row at
the to that contains headers (titles, if you will) describing the information
in the columns below them. Sometimes the leftmost column also contains title
information, but not as often.
Then in the individual cells in your table, you can just type in information
or you can enter formulas to calculate data from other locations, either
within the same table or elsewhere in the worksheet, workbook or even other
workbooks.
You can refer to your table by it's upper-left and lower right cell
addresses as
A1
100 which would be a table occupying columns A, B, C and D and
extending from row 1 down through row 100. You could give the table a name
by selecting all of the cells and then typing a name in the Name Box which is
that little box where the cell address normally shows up at.
Help us a little and we'll try to help you.
Now, without trying to be rude, may I suggest a couple of books for your own
self-preservation? Two very good books for novice Excel users are:
Microsoft Excel 2003 Step-by-Step
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/07...inkCode=xm2&camp=1789&creativeASIN=0735615187
and
Greg Harvey's Excel 2003 All-In-One-Desk Reference for Dummies:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/07...inkCode=xm2&camp=1789&creativeASIN=076453758X
You don't have to order on-line, any good bookstore such as Borders, Barnes
& Nobel, etc should have them in stock.
If you're on Excel 2007, then look for Excel 2007 Step-by-Step instead of
the 2003 version, but the Greg Harvey book should still be very beneficial
although the user interface in 2007 is completely changed from earlier
versions.
