What should a data table include?
A data table is a document comprising columns, rows and cells that contain specific values. They store information that people can retrieve later and update as needed. The data table title, column headers and row headers can help a user understand the information in the table more clearly.
Why my data table is not working?
The cells must all either be “locked” or “unlocked”. Attempting to run the Data Table tool when all the cells in the table are not consistent will result in an error. To check or change the “locked” settings of a cell, select the cell, go to the Format Cells menu (CTRL + 1), and choose the Protection tab.
How do you make a good data table?
A good data table has a clear header and description, so users know what they're viewing. Designers must also use legible typography and adequate spacing between columns and rows to make it easy for users to read and absorb content. Lastly (and most importantly), your data table must be user-friendly.
