What is the difference between a data table and a graph?

At the same time, however, you get less detail or less precision in a chart or graph than you do in the table. Imagine the difference between a table of sales figures for a ten-year period and a line graph for that same data. You get a better sense of the overall trend in the graph but not the precise dollar amount.

A data tables presents information and data in a table, usually in rows. A graph presents statistics and data in graph, or coordinate grid or plane.
