Enhanced Tables: Bringing Clarity, Context, and Insight Together

Traditional tables are useful for tracking performance, but they often lack clarity and speed.

Enhanced Tables with embedded visuals like sparklines, bars, and color scales, make patterns and priorities immediately clear while preserving detail.

When to Use Enhanced Tables?

• When numbers aren’t enough to highlight insights
  
• Need to convey dense information without losing context
  

Our Use Case: Provide dense and granular Sales information for different regions/branches

In the example below, we compared the sales, profits and units sold across three products.

The Enhanced Table instantly reveals:

• Which product is the best performer
  
• Sales performance gaps and trends across periods
  
• Any unusual spike or dip in profits that might need attention
  

In comparison, the traditional table:

• Has static values without any underlying story
  
• No context in how the value was achieved
  
• Need to parse the entire table to draw any comparison between rows
  

Why Enhanced Tables Wins Here:

• Visual micro-charts compress key insights into a cell
  
• Trend visibility without leaving the tabular form
  
• Engaging layout that increases usability and impact
