Can table and cell styles automatically achieve this effect?

The first line is the header, can you use the table style and cell style to automatically realize that the left and right lines are empty and the top and bottom lines are bold?

 

The first one in the figure below is implemented automatically, and the left and right headers are not empty (this is not what I want).

The second is the effect I want, which is to manually set the left and right lines of the meter head to 0 on the basis of the first one.

Note: The first line must be the header

the first time

Hi 喜狼_edny,

hm, for the "continue" issue you could use a function in the table style.

It would allow to skip header rows in the first text frame or the first text column where the table is running through.

From my German InDesign 2021 on Windows 10:

A table is running through several text frames. Only on the second frame and the next frames after the second one the two header rows are visible. In the first frame you simply can put in the header's contents to the first body row of the table. The yellow rows are header rows, the white ones are all body rows:

There is a control for skipping all the header rows in the first frame or first column of a table:

喜狼_edny,

Take a look at Fridnge's example. It's built more efficiently than my original quick example. 

The body rows can be automated with the table style and a first/last column cell styles.

The header row needs cell styles applied to the first and last column cell(s). Not much of an issue since the header automatically repeats if the table flows on multiple pages. 

The ID file has been updated with the modifications.

Yes. 

Put a table border in the Table Style settings that matches the top and bottom rules.

For the header and body Cell Styles, change the rule setting.

For example, for the header:

• Leave the top rule alone.
• Select just the left and right rules and set to 0 (zero) weight.
• Set the bottom to your desired weight.

Do the same for the body cell style.

Below is an example of a one-click Table Style.
