Tables are a core component of dashboards and reports, frequently used to present detailed, row-level data. From finance to supply chain, teams rely on tabular views to surface key metrics, spot issues, and take action. But when poorly structured or visually cluttered, they can slow analysis, obscure critical insights, and delay decision-making.
This session focuses on how to make tables more effective as a visual communication tool. We’ll demonstrate practical techniques to improve how tabular data is structured, formatted, and interpreted, supported by real examples and a live demo.
We’ll walk through:
· When to use tables vs. other visual formats
· How to represent hierarchies clearly and logically
· Using visual elements such as conditional formatting, sparklines, icons, and in-cell charts
· Formatting techniques for typography, alignment, and layout
· Real-world before-and-after examples for context and comparison
Use Cases:
· Optimize reporting tables for operational dashboards
· Present multi-level data clearly for financial and planning use cases
· Improve decision-making with structured, visual tabular formats
Learn how to turn dense data into structured insight—without changing your reporting tools or underlying models.
