You can view data in a table view, allowing you to inspect the actual columns and values of your datasets.

To open the table view, click the **Show Data Table** button next to a dataset.

The first row of the table contains all column names and their associated data types (i.e. `int`, `time`, `string`). The data type is inferred by Studio when you import the dataset.

Studio provides a panel containing column statistics. The statistics displayed in this window depend on the data type and the range of values for each column. For example, `time` data may display a start and end date, while `float` values may contain the mean, standard deviation, and various quantiles and distributions.

### Column Options

Hover over a column to reveal a **⋮ Options** button. The options menu contains the following functions:

| Function | Description |
| --- | --- |
| **Sort Ascending & Sort Descending** | Sorts the entire table in ascending/descending order of values in the selected column. |
| **Pin** | Locks the selected column to the left while you explore the table. |
| **Copy** | Copies the column's data to your clipboard. |
| **Format** | Apply formatting to values in the column. Select from several common formatting options. To format several columns at once, [see the section below](https://docs.foursquare.com/analytics-products/docs/data-view-data#format-data-types). |

### Format Data Types

Click the **Settings ⚙** button on the top-right of the table to select the data type you wish to format. Currently, formatting options are available for `integer`, `float`, `timestamp`, `date`, and `boolean` columns. These formatting changes will be reflected across all data displays, including the table, mouse-over tooltip, and preview panels.

### View Column Data
