I have not tried Tables in eons so I'm not sure if it will work the same as in for me in Numbers but, in Numbers, if I Interact with the Formula entry field, then arrow (just arrow, no VO keys) right. VO will announce as it goes past characters and you can edit along the way. The only limitation is that cell references are imbedded so you can't change the reference from, let's say, c2 to c5 by simply deleting the 2 and replacing it with 5. What you need to do is hit the Backspace twice and re-enter the entire cell reference. Note that it's just the specific cell reference, not the entire formula. So, editing simple text entries within the cell is straight forward as long as you do it from within the Formula Entry field. Actually, this is standard practice even for sighted users.
