Various embodiments of the present technology generally relate to enhancements to spreadsheet tables. More specifically, embodiments of the present technology include systems and methods for incorporating various table column operations into table columns headers, thereby simplifying the act of propagating a desired effect across a range that exactly matches the table column. In an embodiment, a spreadsheet application detects a cell event in a spreadsheet, wherein the cell event affects one or more cells of the spreadsheet, determines that a cell of the one or more cells is inside a range that makes up a table in the spreadsheet, identifies a table column of the table to which the cell belongs, identifies metadata for the table column, wherein the metadata for the table column comprises column configuration instructions, and applies the column configuration instructions to the cell.
