An auxiliary column can be added to a table to facilitate the identification of the information and data in the table. An entry, or label, in the auxiliary column is considered the row's name. For example, the column on the left was added to the walk and ride table even though the formula time X rate = distance does not require it.
-------------------------- | |time|rate|distance| -------------------------- |walk | | 4 | | -------------------------- |ride | | 16 | | -------------------------- |total| 0.5| | | --------------------------Frequently, the items of the first row can be used to relate the row entries with a "row equation." In this case, the equations is walk time + ride time = total time. Labeled tables - names for rows, columns and cells is a very important concept in Anglish.
