What I'm trying to do is: When I press a Pushbutton - a Table will be created on the Panel. Is it possible?

Why not just have the table there already in the panel? You can make it visible or not by doing
set(handles.panel1, 'visible', 'on');
You can send data to the table by doing
set(handles.table1, 'Data', yourDataArray);

Not sure what else to say. It takes your data, for example a double array or cell array called yourDataArray, and puts it into the table (spreadsheet) on the GUI so that the table now appears with the current values that are in your array. Basically what I said "send data to the table".
By the way, the new OOP way of doing it is:
handles.panel1.Visible = 'on'; % Make sure table is visible (not hidden/invisible).
handles.table1.Data = yourDataArray; % Send current values in variable yourDataArray to the table on the GUI.

Yes.
What have you tried so far and did any problems occur? You can either create the table dynamically by calling the uitable command, of you can create the table statically e.g. in GUIDE and make it invisible at first, such that the callback of the button set the visibility to 'on' only.

I do not know how to begin or try anything. I presume that I need to go to the Pushbutton Callback function and write there the "create a table" function - but I have no Idea how to do that nor the syntax

Simply insert the command uitable there and look what happens. You find many examples in the net, when you search for "Matlab uitable".

I'll try. Thanks. What about the option of building the table only when the button is pushed? Is that possible?

Try what? Whose answer were you commenting on? This is why it's good to reply to a specific person's answer rather than posting your follow up question as an Answer in itself.
