Tables can be animated within PowerPoint — but either the entire table can be animated — or nothing! Yes, that’s a case of extremes — either you have it all or don’t have it. To get over this problem, the workaround is to ungroup the table so that your table gets converted to a collection of shapes — and then you can animate every individual shape as you want.
