Hi Dave, Within a given spreadsheet, you can have numerous sheets, and within each sheet, you can have any number of tables. You normally just have one table, but if you like to get complicated, you can have more. I set up one for a curriculum alignment sheet that had three worksheets, each with six tables. You don't necessarily need to move between tables if you've set up your spreadsheet with just one table, but it's possible. Just like in Excel, you can have data in one table affect the data in another, or data in one table affect the data in a different table on a different sheet. As long as this is all within the same spreadsheet, like is good.
Regarding table commands, the most important one to know is the VO-shift-back slash command, or also known as VO-vertical line. That's VO plus shift plus the key just above the return key. To see the list of VO commands related to tables, press VO-h, arrow to Commands, right and down to Table commands, then right and down to hear the various commands available to you. HTH. Later...

You both say that Numbers uses a group or collection of tables with headers, whereas Excel does not. I am having a problem (typical engineer that I am) wrapping my head around what you mean by this group or collection. I envision small little tables scattered all over the worksheet, each with a tiny chunk of the data in the cells. Is that correct? If so, I hope I don’t need to ever know exactly which table I’m in. As to navigating in Numbers, do I need to use more of the table navigation commands, and are there a specific set of such, that I should learn? Thanks again for putting me back on the right trail. OMG! Hope I don’t have another round of issues with negative numbers...
