# Tables
## What are tables?
As a way to visually present data, tables are a popular method for conveying information. Arranging data in rows and columns enables users to easily compare and analyze data patterns and understand the connections between them.

### Plotting data on a Table
To bind data to a Table, data must be structured in a block format.
A basic table structure, with rows or data and column headers along the top.
1. Place a table component on the canvas. There are two types:
1. [**Scorecard**](https://learn.squirrel365.io/components-functions-and-connections/overview/tables/scorecard) **-** a table component with more styling options and functionality.
2. [**Data Table**](https://learn.squirrel365.io/components-functions-and-connections/overview/tables/data-table) - a table that captures the spreadsheet and displays it on the canvas, including formatting and styling.
2. Expand the **GENERAL** section of the component properties panel
3. Select the 'Bind to spreadsheet'  button (visible when hovering over the 'Data to Display' input) - the spreadsheet will expand.
4. Select the table range in the spreadsheet and click 'Confirm'
After hitting confirm, the table will now display the data in the spreadsheet.
The table will use some default styling and number formatting, but with a few changes, it can go from this (above) to this (below).
