Table Formatting
Did the built in table formatting get removed from Excel? i am looking where it used to be on the ribbon and I no longer have options to choose a table format. The only 2 options are New Table Style or New Pivot Table Style. Running Version 2102 build 13801.20266 click to run on Windows 10. Trying to decide if I need to reinstall or if this is by design.

- I have no idea what you are showing me. That has nothing to do with built in table formatting.
It depends on what do you mean.
"Format as Table" icon was added in Excel 2007 to convert the range into the structured table. It is deprecated and in modern Excel for this purposes is the icon Table in the Insert tab of the ribbon. Same could be done by Ctrl+T in desktop version or Ctrl+L both in Excel Online and Excel Desktop.
If apply formatting / style to the table, that is "Table Design" tab which appears on ribbon if you stay on the cell within already created table.
tonykaz It's on the Home ribbon. Otherwise, just press Ctrl-T.
- Hmmm. Well the Format as Table icon is on my home ribbon but the old fly away menu that I would see when clicking on Format as Table is missing. That menu had a bunch of formatting options in light medium and dark colors
- As you can or can't see in the screen shot in my post (I can't screen shot it with the menu deployed) choosing the format as table option on the home tab of the ribbon no longer has preset formats where it used to.
