How to View Tables in Excel

Viewing Excel Data Tables

To see data tables directly in Excel, use the Name Manager. Data tables, which are named items, display a unique icon in the Name Manager. Access this by selecting Home, then Find & Select, and choosing Go To. This method allows for quick navigation to any data table in your workbook, including those on hidden tabs.

Displaying SAP Tables in Excel

If working with VBA code that interacts with SAP, the RFC_READ_TABLE function is used to read tables from SAP. After logging into SAP, the VBA script will retrieve the table and display it within Excel. This integration is crucial for users who need to manipulate SAP data directly in Excel.
