expr3 = number or rows to delete

How the example will appear in the Equation bar

Deletes the second row in table ABC.

Notes

Deleting the last row deletes the entire table.
If a table is renamed, none of the related events (sort, insert, delete row) for that table receive an updated name. However, it is possible to use the CELLTABLE() function to create a reference to the table. If the event is within a table, use celltable() to get the table label automatically. If the event is outside of the table, use celltable(abc.a1), where abc.a1 is a cell number, to get the table label.

This function always returns the table label even when table abc is renumbered.
