There are various ways to create them, but in this article, we will explain how to create a table using Figma's components and auto layout.
Using Figma's functions, you can create tables that are easy to edit anytime, anywhere.
If you are having trouble organizing information or expressing it visually, please try this article!
Table Structure

First, let's look at the table structure:
①Header
Headings are labels that indicate the content of each column.
Clear headings help users quickly understand the data in the table.
②Cell
A cell is the smallest unit of data in a table:
it sits at the intersection of a row and italy b2b leads a column and contains a particular data value or information.
③Row
A row is a horizontal element that represents an individual data entry in a table.
④ Column
Columns are the vertical elements that organize data in a table.

So let's get started right away!
The steps to create a table are as follows:
1) Create a header/cell component set
2) Create a row component
3) Create a table
4) Set resizing
Let's take a closer look at each one.
1) Creating a component set for headings and cells

Now, let's create the header and cells.
*There is no particular order, but in this article we will start by creating the cells.
Cell Creation
First, select the Frame Tool (F) to create a frame.
Then use the Text Tool (T) to add text into the frame.
Select the frame layer and text layer and turn on the Auto Layout function (Shift+A) . You will
then be able to set the cell's inner padding
from the right sidebar. Once you've set the margins, background color, lines, etc. to your liking, your cell is complete!
Headline Creation
Select the cell you just created and duplicate it (hold down Option and drag).
Adjust the style and your heading is complete!
Creating a Component Set
Select the headers and cells to create a component set .
A component set is a group of components
. Components in a component set are called "Variants" , and you can give each one properties!
First, set the component set to "Cell", the property to "Type", and the values to "Header" and "Cell".
