What is a table chart?

A table chart is a method of displaying data in rows and columns. It presents data in a structured and organized format to help audiences make informative decisions. While the biggest use of tables is for comparing figures such as length, height, weight, and so on, they can also be composed of words and non-numerical values. Table charts can be applied in numerous industries — from education and research to media and communication.

A table is a means of organizing data in rows and columns, with data displayed as plain text using words and numbers. On the other hand, a diagram is an illustration showing a sequence or relationship between different parts, structures, and concepts. Tables focus more on individual values, whereas diagrams serve as a visual representation of those values.

While each data visualization tool has its advantages, below are some specific instances when using a table makes the most sense.

Your audience wants to quickly look up information that applies to them, such as age, occupation, income range, and more.
Precise values are crucial to decision-making — finding the best price, the top trending product, or the biggest sales month.
You are working with raw data that doesn't require a deep-dive study. For example, to display class schedules or meeting agendas .
It will be used to compare individual or pairs of values involving more than one unit of measurement (height, width, length, etc.).
A huge amount of data cannot be summarized or described through sentences and paragraphs.

One of the most efficient ways to present raw data is by organizing it in a table. It arranges the collected values in a clear and summarized manner and with significant visual appeal, making it more easily understandable and engaging to readers. Tables give a quick overview of quantitative or qualitative data to help managers and strategists make high-level decisions.

Tables must be clear and well-organized to enable readers to quickly scan and compare data values. Keep these in mind when making a table chart:

Think about how your table will be used and determine your audience.
Simplicity is key. Focus on what’s essential and use icons and abbreviations when possible.
Establish a clear sequence. Tables are read chronologically: first, the first row, then the second row, and so on. Arrange your information in a way where it makes the most sense.
Use colors and lines to help readers navigate your table. Highlight important cells by applying a subtle background color or group related values by creating thicker lines.
Include the source of your data to make your table look more professional and allow readers to analyze the topic more deeply.
