Lotus Improv did this first. Excel has pivot table support that supports this use case too if people know how to use it.

- lloeki 14y agoYou miss the point, both Lotus Improv and Excel are an (pseudo-)endless wall of cells. Numbers puts bounded tables on a page[0][1] instead of fitting the pages (and everything, really) into an endless table dating from Multiplan, thus solving the "hacking the cells to implement layout" problem. In this example[2] a table is actually selected, and allows for south, east and south-east extension.
