Intro
Tables are a generic, quick, and helpful way to depict simple sets of data. They can be used for reading information, data comparison, trends, and sequences, 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 Type | 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 data |
You might format your spreadsheet like this:
State | State Flower |
---|---|
Maine | White pine cone |
New Hampshire | Purple lilac |
Vermont | Red clover |
Massachusetts | Mayflower |
