|---|---|---|---|
| Data | TypeTypes | Plain text or number | Plain text or number |
| Contents | This column could show the names representing the data in column 2, or it could show numerical data. See the examples below | This column should depict dataThe contents of the table column
| The contents of the table row |
| Data Labels | The label for the content in the column | The label for the content in the column |
