The rates in the US tables are per 100,000. So I want to convert the rates in the Europe table below from "per million" to "per 100,000". That means moving the decimal place one place to the left. Can someone do this for me?
Better yet can someone explain exactly how to do it step by step in Libreoffice Calc. I will put this info in a section in Help:Table/Advanced or another table help page.
Drug-induced mortality rates per million among adults (15-64), females, males and total.[1]
I can't tell from this what your question is, but if you want a scrolling table, it is just a matter of setting height (or max-height) and overflow. Ditto width. See WP:PNT, top right just above the ToC; it uses {{PNT table}} and maxes out at around ten rows, and then scrolls. Is that what you are asking about?

Column operations, like row operations, are a fundamental part of tables. There used to be a top-level (H2) section for column operations, until it was removed in this edit. Why was this done? Mathglot (talk) 19:43, 16 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
All of that info was about width so I put that info in its own overall section called "Width" on the same page.
Just now I created a new overall section about "Column operations". With a link to the large section on Width (on the same page), and a link to the section on column alignment here: Help:Table/Advanced#Column alignment. That section is part of a much larger overall section: Help:Table/Advanced#Horizontal alignment in cells. That covers alignment in individual cells too.
I remember moving a lot of stuff off the Help:Table page in order to shorten it. Also to get rid of all 2-level subsections. Now you have only one level of subsections. Much easier to navigate.
I think the Width section should not be a subsection of Column operations. Because Width covers full table width too. And it links to another width page covering yet more intricacies of table and column width: Help:Table/Width.
Hello, is there a tool to help move around columns of a table? It is for this one [1], it is long and many columns are combined at certain parts, so it is sort of complicated. It would be very convenient to have a tool to move around the columns because the order of the featured parties does not reflect anymore their real relevance (for example, the third bloc is completely banned now), so I was wondering if such a tool exists. With the visual editor I can uniquely delete a couple of columns (not most), but I can't move around any. Thanks, SuperΨDro14:02, 20 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, in the end I managed to alter the table with the visual editor after some experimenting. I was going to remove this thread but I forgot, so apologies. The issue is now resolved, but appreciate the help anyway. SuperΨDro17:38, 23 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I agree it is helpful. I suggest pinging the user at the thread you started at the article's talk page and explaining this to them. SuperΨDro23:09, 23 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
