Introduction
Data presentation is done mostly by using tables and charts.
Tables are the most basic structures that store the data in rows and columns.
Using tables is the most common way to organize and display the data that is retrieved by a query, either detailed or aggregative. In this chapter, we will learn how to work with the main table types: vertical, horizontal, cross table, and forms; learn which data type is best displayed by a specific table type; and how can you format the tables.
