The table is classified mainly on three bases- 

1. According to Objectives 

2. According to Originality 

3. According to Construction

I. According to objectives : 

Tables are of two types according to objectives

  • Table with General Purpose: This table presents the data in tabulated form for , general use. Its purpose is to present data so that researchers can add different units immediately. These are also called reference tables because usually it is given with reports; Like – Table given with census report. 
  • Table of Specific Purpose: This table is prepared for a particular purpose. This table is mostly small, in which detailed data is not provided, these are also called summary tables.

II. According to Originality : 

Tables are of two types according to originality-

  • Primary Table : The primary table refers to such a table in which the data is presented in the same fundamental form, in the same way as they have been collected. 
  • Derived Table : The derived table is the table in which data is presented in form of percentage, ratio, etc.

III. According to Construction : 

Tables are of two types according to construction-

  • Simple Table : This table only describes one attribute of data. 
  • For example: a table showing the number of students in different classes of a school. 
  • Complex Table : A table Which explains more than one properties of relationships is called a complex table. 

Based on the properties, it is classified as 3 classes, which are the following:

1. Dual-Property Table : This table displays two properties of data, so it is called a dual-property table. 

For example – If the number of students studying in different classes in a school is divided into boys and girls, then such table will be called dual property table. 

2. Triple-Property Table : Such tables show three characteristics of data. 

For example: if the number of students studying in school is expressed on the basis of class, gender and housing, then such a table will be called a triple property table. 

3. Multiple-Property Table : When the table displays more than 3 characteristics of data, then it is called multi-property table.
