More improvements to tables in docs - BIG TIME
planned
A
Arek
It looks like tables in docs have been slightly improved - https://clickup.canny.io/feature-requests/p/improve-tables-in-docs-big-time.
However, still big improvements are needed:
* Background color
* Header formatting
* More column width control
* Cell merging
* Center align tables
* They still look ugly
* ... I could go on and on
At the very least implement something like Typora has - more control, more formatting options and rendering is quite good for markdown tables.

Heavily agree on this. tables in docs are impossible to work with once created. Creating a table with Ai is easy, but if you ever need to do something to it you have to block off a couple hours just to get it looking correct.
Lots of improvement needed on tables. Great call out OP.

Please remove the column widths so we can show all label options and label text by expanding a column
Peter Lloyd
please remove the column width limits. Currently you can't expand cell width beyond a certain size, meaning that text/content gets cut off.

In addition to the list above, please allow copy/paste from Excel into an existing table (today it copies as text into the first column, but can copy paste properly into its own table)
Given the issue above, allow a row from another document table to be brought into (cut/paste) into an existing one from within ClickUp
And, allow a row to be dragged out of the existing table into it's own table (or cut and paste)
We definitely need whole row or column formatting, it takes so much extra time to format a table nicely; for example, I want a header row to be colored and bold, I have to do that at each cell instead of the entire row.

Not related to tables in docs but TABLE VIEW could use some help too. It would be nice to be able to create two table views that had different information. All information needed for all tables is in the list, but that one table admin can review and another table is for managers to review with different information in each. So far, I created two tables within the same list and they are mirroring one another.

+1 to everything on this list, especially the very basic functionality of being able to multi-select cells / rows / columns to be able to format or delete in bulk. Like others, I find myself wishing these behaved like tables in Confluence which were powerful, simple, and intuitive.
And the one item I don't see mentioned here, is that in both Tasks and Docs, as I interact with the table it adds hard returns / extra space to the top.
For example, if I have some copy at the top with a table underneath, every time I interact with the table it seems to add returns above my plain copy block. So I am constantly editing the table, then having to scroll to the top of the task or doc to delete all the hard line returns that get inserted for no apparent reason.

Would be great if I could autoactically change the size to the full width of the page and also to have the columns be the same size automatically. Also would love to be able to sort them alphabetically

I agree the tables are absolutely horrible. Look ugly, difficult to work with and edit, plus need to be sortable and easy to manipulate the data inside like Notion. Please improve them ASAP.

One of my favorite things in smart suite is that you can just paste it in. Even related fields find the right tag when I separate the values by commas. There are certain things that would just be way easier in clickup if I could just copy/paste a whole value set.
