Creating and styling Figma tables

Creating tables in Figma, while seemingly straightforward, presents challenges due to the absence of a standardized approach, often leading designers to manually construct tables cell by cell, resulting in inconsistent formatting and inefficient workflows. This comprehensive tutorial provides a step-by-step guide to creating, styling, and customizing tables in Figma to enhance user experience. It introduces a Figma table template to streamline the process and covers the setup of a Figma file, creation of base cell components, and population of cells with various content types including text, numbers, and icons. It also explains how to add headers, create columns, format text and numbers, and apply background and border styling. Furthermore, it discusses designing tables for responsiveness, adding icons and symbols, applying conditional formatting, and enhancing user experience through interactivity features such as sorting, filtering, and tooltips. Finally, the tutorial highlights the importance of exporting and integrating Figma tables into development workflows, ensuring that design integrity is maintained through documentation and collaboration with developers.
