We are doing tank drawings and the company now wants a custom format/style of table (attached as jpg) to be on all the drawings (which are complete already) which will be the cleanest way to get a table like that. I tried making something in Excel and inserting as a Gen. Table, but each of the cell borders show up.
Would I just do a sketch and insert text boxes where necessary?

I would do a table in MS Word, and use the merge cells to create the longer rows. It should be a simple cut paste. You could do it with Excel as well.
Have you considered creating a custom symbol? That may be an approach to consider since you may be able to use some parameters automatically and store the table with the template.
Thanks,
Hi,
I am not sure how to do that, is there a link for a tuturial you could point me to?
I managed to link a .xls file and insert it and seems to be working now too.
The video below is a class that explains everything you would ever need to know about sketch symbols in Inventor drawings.
