The next step is to draw the rectangle over the table. Drag the cursor in a way that the first cell, row, or column of the table is hidden under the rectangle shape.

Select the first shape and then click on the “Animations” tab. Click on the “Animation” gallery and select your preferred animation style from the “Exit” section of the dropdown list.
