Answer

A good table is one which is able to convey the required information effectively. The guidelines for preparing a good table are stated below:
  1. Simple and Compact: The table should be simple and compact, so that it should not create confusion in the mind of the user.
  2. Focus Attention on Main Comparisons: The data in the table should be arranged so that it focuses attention on the main comparisons and clearly exhibits the relationship between various related items. For this, different fonts of lettering (italic, bold, capital letters, etc) may be used.
  3. Complete and Self-Explanatory: A table should be complete and self-explanatory. It should contain all the essential parts of a table. Also, in the preparation of table, use of abbreviations should be avoided. Only common abbreviations should be used.
  4. Attractive: A table should be designed so that it is neither too long or narrow, nor too broad or short. If the data is very large, it should not be crowded in a single table, rather a number of different tables of reasonable size and shape should be prepared. All this helps in attractive presentation of data.
  5. Accurate and Free from Errors: The data contained in the table should be accurate and free from errors. For this, the entries in the table should be checked and re-checked.
  6. Classification According to a Specific Attribute: The classification of data in a table should be according to a specific attribute.
