The basics

What a data table is, and when to use one.

Data tables are for when your audience needs the exact numbers. Exact doesn't have to mean ugly.

Listing detailed records, like your top 10 customers by revenue.
Comparing several attributes across a handful of items.
A drill-down view under a high-level chart.
Status reports with tags like On track or At risk.
