How to Use the "Table" Group of the Time Savers Add-in for PowerPoint

Please note: Some changes may have been made to the Time Savers Add-in for PowerPoint since the making of this video.

The “Table” group is part of the “TS Content” tab (previously part of the “TS Design” tab, formerly called “Time Savers 1”) of the Time Savers Add-in for PowerPoint.

The tools in this part of the Time Savers Add-in make it possible for you to:

Quickly sort the data in a table in PowerPoint, like you can in Excel.
Shuffle the data in a table.
Autofill the selected cells based on the existing content in the first two or three cells in the selection.

General:

When using the sorting/shuffling functions, only the TEXT in the selected table will be sorted/shuffled. The formatting of each cell will remain unchanged.

Order:

Choose how you want to sort the contents of your table.

Ascending order – lowest to highest

Descending order – highest to lowest

Shuffle

Direction:

Choose what direction you want the content to be sorted in the table first.

Horizontally first – data will be sorted horizontally (left to right) across the rows, from the top to the bottom of the table.

Vertically first – data will be sorted vertically (top to bottom) down the columns, from the left to the right of the table.

Separate:

Choose whether you want the data in each row or column to be sorted or shuffled separately, without mixing with the data in other rows or columns.

Selected cells:

All selected cells in the table will be sorted or shuffled.
If you haven’t selected any cells, the contents of all the cells in the selected table will be sorted or shuffled.

Rows:
