Mission: Learn and Install Jupyter Notebook 349-7 : fail to markdown a table

[ksenia.kustanovich]

Screen Link: Learn data science with Python and R projects

Your Code: ```This is a table explaining what each column in the data set describes:

Column	Descritpion
“id”	App ID
“track_name”	App Name
“size_bytes”	Size (in Bytes)
“currency”	Currency Type
“price”	Price Ammount
“rating_count_tot”	User Rating Counts (for all versions)
“rating_count_ver”	User Rating Count (for current version)
“user_rating”	Average User Rating value (for all versions)
“user_rating_ver”	Average User Rating value (for current version)
“ver”	Latest version code
“cont_rating”	Content rating
“prime_genre”	Primary Genre
“sup_device.num”	Number of supporting devices
“ipadSc_urls.num”	Number of screenshots showed for display
“lang.num”	Number of supported languages
“vpp_lic”	Vpp Device Based Licensing Enabled

What I expected to happen: I try to create a table, using the guidance provided here: Extended Syntax | Markdown Guide, run the code, but no table is created after running the code.

Hi @ksenia.kustanovich,

Let’s say, we want to create a table of {'Fruits': ['Apple', 'Orange', 'Banana'], 'Vegetables': ['Spinach', 'Broccoli', 'Beetroot']}.

Step 1
Select Markdown as the cell type

Step 2
In a fresh new line, type:

|Fruits|Vegetables|
|---|---|

• | is used to represent column border
• The newline is used to represent a new row
• --- represents that the row above is a header row.

Step 3
Type the column values in the same format as the first row:

|Apple|Spinach|

That’s it, in the above case the complete markdown code will look like this:

|Fruits|Vegetables|
|---|---|
|Apple|Spinach|
|Orange|Broccoli|
|Banana|Beetroot|

And the table will look like this:

Fruits	Vegetables
Apple	Spinach
Orange	Broccoli
Banana	Beetroot

Hope this helps .

Best,
Sahil

Thank you!
Basically, my mistake was that I had some text before the table itslef in the same markdown cell. Whe I eliminatend the narative text the table appeared

Do we need to customize the table ourselves? or is there code that just makes the table automatically?

[dh7hong]

where did you get the table documentation you have in your jupyter notebook? I can’t seem to find it anywhere

[dh7hong]

I had to manually write:

Column name	Description
“id”	App ID
“track_name”	App Name
“size_bytes”	Size (in Bytes)
“currency”	Currency Type
“price”	Price amount
“ratingcounttot”	User Rating counts (for all version)
“ratingcountver”	User Rating counts (for current version)
“user_rating”	Average User Rating value (for all version)
“userratingver”	Average User Rating value (for current version)
“ver”	Latest version code
“cont_rating”	Content Rating
“prime_genre”	Primary Genre
“sup_devices.num”	Number of supporting devices
“ipadSc_urls.num”	Number of screenshots showed for display
“lang.num”	Number of supported languages
“vpp_lic”	Vpp Device Based Licensing Enabled

Any idea why this table goes from right to left rather than the other way?
