My workbook is a database administration tool in which I can create and edit rows in my ListObject and finally upload it all to a database, but my problem is that the design is very messy when the number of rows increases.

I know it's a kinda weird question, but I'm totally out of ideas for a layout which is uncluttered and usable. I think it would be easier to make a beautiful and smart design if I wasn't using the ListObject, but I really need the functionalities of these. Is there maybe some functions I don't know which can make the layout better? I am really open for any kind of help! It's very important. I have of course already tried the in-built layouts for tables, but it doesn't do the work.

Thank you!
