Mastering Canva Tables: A Guide to Creating and Customizing Data Tables (Full Transcript)

Speaker 1: Have you ever needed a table with a list of donors or to share important financial information about your nonprofit? Let's see how you can get the most out of tables in Canva. In the editor, go to the Elements tab and swipe through the options at the top until you find Table. Click See All to view all the options, or you can design a table with our magic shortcut. Hit forward slash on your keyboard. This brings up a list of handy elements like text, lines, arrows. Select Table and pick the number of columns and rows you need. To fill out your table, select a cell and enter your info, and hit Tab to easily move across the cells. If you have an existing data set, copy your data from your spreadsheet, then select the cell in the top left-hand corner and paste the data by clicking Command V if you're on a Mac or Control V if you're on a PC. The table will automatically add new columns and rows to match your data set. With your basic table in place, it's time to customize it. Let's find out how. To change the size of your table, click and hold any of the corner handles, and drag up to make your table taller, or to the side to make it wider. If you want to keep the same proportions, keep Shift pressed as you drag. To move the table around in your project, click and hold the move pointer below the table, or click and hold inside a cell, and move the table. Do you need to add or remove columns? Select any cell. You'll notice two floating tabs with three dots. The top one will select the whole column, and the one on the side will select the entire row. Let's click on the top one to see what changes we can make. We can add a column to the left, or to the right. If you click delete this column, the column itself will disappear. It's time to work on the look and feel of our table. Click on the move pointer to select the entire table. The toolbar gives you plenty of options. You can change the font, size, and color of your text. You can also change the color of your table. To style specific columns or rows, select the first cell, hold Shift, and click the last cell in the column or row. It can now style the column on its own. You can also style the borders of your cells. You can change the color and thickness of your borders. The possibilities are endless. Say goodbye to difficult tables and communicate your data easily with Canva.
