This is a regular row, this is a regular row, and this is a regular row and all of these are. Headers and Footers are separate from the regular rows. So once you understand that the table should have a focus and that each row should represent one piece of information the next thing to learn is how Headers and Footers work. Then that row is simply repeated in every single Row in the table itself, with the exception of the Header Row and perhaps a Footer Row as well, which we will look at in a minute. All that information for that item should be stored in that one Row. The fundamental piece of information could be a date. You could see each Row represents a different date. So, for instance, for Miles and Expenses here there's Date, Miles, Hours, and Expenses. Now once you do that the next thing is to understand how important Rows are.

But it's important to realize that you should only have one type of data in one table. You can keep adding as many tables as you want and put them on the same sheet or add more sheets if you like to organize your data. There's another table here for other pieces of information. For this table here just contains this information and nothing else. To use Tables you want something like this. There's another set of data over here and then there's some cells with some labels and some calculations here. But you could see part of it has all this data. For instance, here's an example of that in Numbers. Often Excel users fill that with all sorts of different things in different cells. Now if you used Excel in the past the whole window is just one large table. First, is understanding how important it is to manager your tables in Numbers correctly.
