Tables is a powerful visualization tool designed with usability in mind. In just a couple of clicks, create a table that stands out, grabs attention, and instantly tells your story. Let’s get started.

How to create a table

1. Go to the Vizualist dashboard and select the project where you want to create your table.

2. Click the button.

3. Select Table from the Vizualist Templates list.

4. Enter the name for your table and click the Next button.

5. Choose one of the available data options: Try sample, Upload data, Google Sheets, Social Explorer, Bulk upload or Blank.

   Try sample – helps you create a table by providing sample data. If you would like to explore the Table, want to see how some table types look, or just need to create a table and update the data later, this step will lead you to a meaningful table in a single click.

   Upload data – allows you to upload your own data.

   Google Sheets – is fully supported by Table. You can easily access all your Google Sheets as soon as you authenticate your account and grant access to Table.

   Social Explorer – gives you access to all Census Bureau’s Decennial Census and American Community Survey data.

   Blank – gives you the ability to create your table by entering data and editing it manually.

   Bulk upload – allows you to upload multiple datasets for tables at once.
