Update a specific cells in existing table

How to update a specific cells without editing existing cells

Sometimes, you may need to retain the content of an existing table while modifying specific cells. To achieve this, use the keyword null to skip the cells you don't want to change.

In the example below, we updated the cell value in row 2, column 3 from 70% to NA, and added a new row with data for FIAT. All other cells remain unchanged.
