The Syncfusion® .NET Excel Library (XlsIO) offers comprehensive support for creating, accessing, and formatting tables in Excel worksheets. Users can organize and analyze related data using tables and apply built-in and custom styles. Users can also insert or remove rows and columns, add total rows, and create tables from external connections.
This example code shows how to create an Excel table to organize and manage data using the Syncfusion® .NET Excel Library with just a few lines of C# code.
