OK, that's interesting. I thought you might do it this way. So it is not possible to change just a part of the content of a cell. You have to change the whole content. I opened an excel file with several sheets in Tables and tried to switch between the sheets by pressing CMD + Option + arrow right or left. It didn't work. Tables was always busy. Do you have experiences with switching sheets in Tables? Did it work for you?
