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
