Fix Bottom Row of Table

[Anonymous]

Is there any way to permanently fix the location of the bottom row of a table? I would like to make it so that when I add a row above the top row, the table doesn't shift all the rows down. At the moment, when I supposedly add a row above the top row, it "replaces" the top row and shifts all of the rows below it down. This means that I then have to re-position the table so the the bottom is back where I had it originally. Not only that, it appears to simply be adding a row to the bottom, rather than adding one above the top.

So, is there any way to keep the bottom of the table in place such that adding a row above the top simply adds a row above the top? Thanks!

I believe AutoCAD Table updates only occur with the Title & Header rows fixed in the same position and any added rows always occur at the bottom of the Table.  It would be nice if there's a TABLESTYLE option to reverse this.  Sounds like a wish list or Idea submittal item.  But demand for this may be quite low so I wouldn't hold your breath.

I stand corrected.  I just checked under TABLESTYLE there is an option to have the Table going Up (see attached).

Thank you. I'm actually using a data link to an Excel file, so I realized I need to flip the order of the Excel file such that when I add a row, I'm actually adding a row to the bottom of the Excel file. Then I can change the table settings in AutoCAD so that the table direction is UP. This solves my dilemma.
