Excel lists. (This is probably why they're corresponding VBA object is a
ListObject

Excel tables should not be confused with data tables. Data tables is a concept that belongs to what-if-analysis tools.
The
keyboard shortcut to create an Excel table is

adds a
total column to a table.
An Excel table has banded rows if rows have alternating background-colors.

Sizing handle | at the bottom right corner of the table, allows to resize the table. |
