# Table

To learn more about table charts and how to create one, please view this [video](https://youtu.be/_gcUzzUkOPA?si=5ZIMACVEHhgTas7d).

Table charts display raw data in rows and columns.

| Features                                                                               | Quantity | Notes                                                     |
| -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | -------- | --------------------------------------------------------- |
| Required [Dimensions](https://docs.heavy.ai/v8.3.0/measures-and-dimensions#dimensions) | 0+       | No dimensions required, unlimited number of dimensions.   |
| Required [Measures](https://docs.heavy.ai/v8.3.0/measures-and-dimensions#measures)     | 0+       | No limit. Strings must be dictionary encoded (countable). |

You can display individual data rows, or use grouping or aggregation. There is no limit for dimensions or measures on Table charts. You can view more aggregated measures in a table chart than most other chart types.

You can also use custom measure formats for the value in your chart. See [Customizing Measure and Date Formats](https://docs.heavy.ai/v8.3.0/measures-and-dimensions#customize-formats).

## Table Chart Examples

Create a new Table chart. Choose a **Data Source**. This example uses the official database of [UFO sightings](https://github.com/planetsig/ufo-reports/tree/master/csv-data). You can create a Table chart using only measures, to display all sightings individually. Here, display of null values is selected.

You can also use Table charts to group information by a dimension, similar to other chart types. For example, add the *shape* dimension, and you can display the average duration in seconds for UFOs of that shape. In a grouped chart, you can sort on any column in ascending or descending order. You can format the measures you use to make them easier to scan.

On a dashboard, you can click a dimension in a separate chart to show detailed records for that dimension in a Table chart.
