Excel doesn't support tables at all, and the "page" concept in
Excel is very basic. This is one of Numbers' main strengths.
But a table is just a contiguous, two-dimensional collection of
cells, and you can have multiples of these on the same worksheet, or
on separate worksheets, and these can all be linked together. Feel
free to send me a copy of your file, and I'll play with it if you
like.
A table in Numbers is a separate entity from the Sheet which contains
it. A Sheet can contain many separate Tables, each with their own
formatting, cell matrix, sort orders, header cells, etc, and each
doing separate jobs yet capable of referring to each other. There
really is no comparable functionality in Excel. For example, a Numbers
table always has cell A1 in the top LH corner. An Excel “table” has
to use a part of the same worksheet as the other “tables”, so cell A1
is always at the top of the worksheet.
A simple example, but it does illustrate a fundamental difference
between Excel and Numbers.
