A '''table''' is a data layout that presents data as rows and columns. Well suited to human interpretation, tables have been in use for thousands of years to visually represent data. The earliest-known tables date back to the fourth millenium B.C., and are among the earliest known examples of writing. ** See also ** [Displaying tables]: [grid]: a layout manager based on the '''table''' concept.

Compared tables can be merged together using several possible methods. [http://a.fsdn.com/con/app/proj/tbmerge/screenshots/2a.png] <> Category Discussion | Category Widget
