Thanks Pavel and Owen. This is very useful information. Also how can we change a whole column at a time ? In otherwords, the entire column needing to be changed would involve looping through each entry and changing that value, instead i want to substitute a whole column.
Thanks!

(without looping through and deleting each row and column) The number of columns and rows of the new table is identical to the number of columns and rows of the old table being replaced. Is there a quick way to do that?
