Excel tables are very useful but they can be challenging to use on a smartphone. Cards View lets you work with tables using a mobile-optimized interface that keeps the focus on your data.

Cards View has two levels: cards and detailed views. Cards present a list of summarized rows that are easy to browse and search. You can also add and delete rows using the triple dot menu option on each card. When you tap a card in the list, a detailed view displays the whole row so you can easily edit its data.

Tap a table, then tap the Cards View button.

As you review the summarized data,
tap a card to see the details.

While reviewing the details, tap a value to edit it.

Note: Cards View only works with Excel tables. If you are working with a range of cells, you can convert the range to a table, enabling Cards View.

Note: March 3, 2020: Cards View is one of several features that are currently only available to a portion of Microsoft 365 Insiders at this time. We'll continue to optimize these features over the next several months. When they're ready, we'll release them to all Microsoft 365 Insiders, and Microsoft 365 subscribers.
