ptt.AppendRow("TOTAL", 646.89, 2419.69)
    // select first column in this row (returns cell)
    .First()
    // set column span for this cell (returns cell)
    .SetColumnSpan(3);

// select first column (returns column)
ptt.FirstColumn()
    // slice column (skip first and take until last) (returns column span)
    .Slice(2, ^1)
    // set horizontal alignment for this column span (returns column span)
    .SetLeftHorizontalAlignment()
    // move to the right (targeting 2nd column) (returns column span)
    .MoveRight()
    // set horizontal alignment for this column span (returns column span)
    .SetLeftHorizontalAlignment();

// select last column (returns column)
ptt.LastColumn()
    // skip first two rows (returns column span)
    .Skip(2)
    // set only right border (returns column span)
    .SetBorders(Borders.None with { Right = Border.Normal })
    // move to the left (targeting 2nd column from the end) (returns column span)
    .MoveLeft()
    // set only left border (returns column span)
    .SetBorders(Borders.None with { Left = Border.Normal });

// select last row (returns row)
ptt.FirstRow()
    // set uniform bold border for all cells in this row (returns row)
    .SetBorders(Border.Bold)
    // move down to the second row (returns row)
    .MoveDown()
    // set uniform bold borders for the whole row (returns row)
    .SetBorders(Border.Bold)
