When using Table Styles, users usually ask about 3 areas: removing styles, combining styles with other formatting, and incomplete selection ranges; this section answers 3 common questions.
FAQ
How do I remove an applied table style?
- Select the table range that already has the style applied.
- Open Tools → Home → Table Styles.
- Use the available clear-format option in the current interface, or apply another style to replace the existing one.
Can Table Styles and conditional formatting be used together?
- Apply a table style first if needed.
- Then add conditional formatting or other cell formatting.
- If the visual result overlaps, adjust the formatting order again based on the final display.
Why does only part of the table change after I apply a style?
- Check whether the entire table range is selected.
- Make sure the selection includes the header row, summary row, or the columns you want to emphasize.
- Select the complete range again and reapply the table style.
