Convert an excel table to a range of data

After you create an Excel table, you may only want the table style without the table functionality. To stop working with your data in a table without losing any table style formatting that you applied, you can convert the table to a regular range of data on the worksheet.

Important: In order to convert to a range, you must have an Excel table to start with. For more information, see Create or delete an Excel table.
