Plotly is a free and open-source graphing library for JavaScript. We recommend you read our Getting Started guide for the latest installation or upgrade instructions, then move on to our Plotly Fundamentals tutorials or dive straight in to some Basic Charts tutorials.

Basic Table

var values = [
      ['Salaries', 'Office', 'Merchandise', 'Legal', '<b>TOTAL</b>'],
      [1200000, 20000, 80000, 2000, 12120000],
      [1300000, 20000, 70000, 2000, 130902000],
      [1300000, 20000, 120000, 2000, 131222000],
      [1400000, 20000, 90000, 2000, 14102000]]

var data = [{
  type: 'table',
  header: {
    values: [["<b>EXPENSES</b>"], ["<b>Q1</b>"],
				 ["<b>Q2</b>"], ["<b>Q3</b>"], ["<b>Q4</b>"]],
    align: "center",
    line: {width: 1, color: 'black'},
    fill: {color: "grey"},
    font: {family: "Arial", size: 12, color: "white"}
  },
  cells: {
    values: values,
    align: "center",
    line: {color: "black", width: 1},
    font: {family: "Arial", size: 11, color: ["black"]}
  }
}]

Plotly.newPlot('myDiv', data);

Styled Table

var values = [
      ['Salaries', 'Office', 'Merchandise', 'Legal', '<b>TOTAL</b>'],
      [1200000, 20000, 80000, 2000, 12120000],
      [1300000, 20000, 70000, 2000, 130902000],
      [1300000, 20000, 120000, 2000, 131222000],
      [1400000, 20000, 90000, 2000, 14102000]]

var data = [{
  type: 'table',
  header: {
    values: [["<b>EXPENSES</b>"], ["<b>Q1</b>"],
				 ["<b>Q2</b>"], ["<b>Q3</b>"], ["<b>Q4</b>"]],
    align: ["left", "center"],
    line: {width: 1, color: '#506784'},
    fill: {color: '#119DFF'},
    font: {family: "Arial", size: 12, color: "white"}
  },
  cells: {
    values: values,
    align: ["left", "center"],
    line: {color: "#506784", width: 1},
	 fill: {color: ['#25FEFD', 'white']},
    font: {family: "Arial", size: 11, color: ["#506784"]}
  }
}]

Plotly.newPlot('myDiv', data);

Table From a CSV

d3.csv("https://raw.githubusercontent.com/plotly/datasets/master/Mining-BTC-180.csv", function(err, rows){

  function unpack(rows, key) {
  return rows.map(function(row) { return row[key]; });
  }

  var headerNames = d3.keys(rows[0]);

  var headerValues = [];
  var cellValues = [];
  for (i = 0; i < headerNames.length; i++) {
    headerValue = [headerNames[i]];
    headerValues[i] = headerValue;
    cellValue = unpack(rows, headerNames[i]);
    cellValues[i] = cellValue;
  }

  // clean date
  for (i = 0; i < cellValues[1].length; i++) {
  var dateValue = cellValues[1][i].split(' ')[0]
  cellValues[1][i] = dateValue
  }


var data = [{
  type: 'table',
  columnwidth: [150,600,1000,900,600,500,1000,1000,1000],
  columnorder: [0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9],
  header: {
    values: headerValues,
    align: "center",
    line: {width: 1, color: 'rgb(50, 50, 50)'},
    fill: {color: ['rgb(235, 100, 230)']},
    font: {family: "Arial", size: 8, color: "white"}
  },
  cells: {
    values: cellValues,
    align: ["center", "center"],
    line: {color: "black", width: 1},
    fill: {color: ['rgba(228, 222, 249, 0.65)','rgb(235, 193, 238)', 'rgba(228, 222, 249, 0.65)']},
    font: {family: "Arial", size: 9, color: ["black"]}
  }
}]

var layout = {
  title: {
    text: "Bitcoin mining stats for 180 days"
  }
}

Plotly.newPlot('myDiv', data, layout);
});

Changing Size of Rows and Columns

Alternating Row Colors

var values = [
      ['Salaries', 'Office', 'Merchandise', 'Legal', '<b>TOTAL</b>'],
      [1200000, 20000, 80000, 2000, 12120000],

      [1400000, 20000, 90000, 2000, 14102000]]

var headerColor = "grey";
var rowEvenColor = "lightgrey";
var rowOddColor = "white";

var data = [{
  type: 'table',
  header: {
    values: [["<b>EXPENSES</b>"], ["<b>Q1</b>"],
				 ["<b>Q2</b>"], ["<b>Q3</b>"], ["<b>Q4</b>"]],
    align: "center",
    line: {width: 1, color: 'black'},
    fill: {color: headerColor},
    font: {family: "Arial", size: 12, color: "white"}
  },
  cells: {
    values: values,
    align: "center",
    line: {color: "black", width: 1},
    fill: {color: [[rowOddColor,rowEvenColor,rowOddColor,
						  rowEvenColor,rowOddColor]]},
    font: {family: "Arial", size: 11, color: ["black"]}
