Tables are a quick and helpful way to depict simple sets of data. They can be used comparatively, categorically, and sequentially, to name just a few uses.
Spreadsheet Format
Tables can have as many rows and columns as the user needs. Data in a table can take almost any format. With this in mind, it's important to stay consistent by using only one format per column.
| Column 1 | Column 2 (and beyond...) | |
|---|---|---|
| Data Types | Plain text or number | Plain text or number |
| Contents | The 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 |
You might format your spreadsheet like this:
| State | State Flower |
|---|---|
Maine | White pine cone |
| New Hampshire | Purple lilac |
| Vermont | Red clover |
| Massachusetts | Mayflower |
