+# Table panel
+
+The table panel is very flexible, supporting multiple modes for time series and for tables, annotation, and raw JSON data. This panel also provides date formatting, value formatting, and coloring options.

+
+## Data and field options
+
+Table visualizations allow you to apply:
+
+- [Data transformations]({{< relref "../../transformations/_index.md" >}})
+- [Field options and overrides]({{< relref "../../field-options/_index.md" >}})
+- [Thresholds]({{< relref "../../thresholds.md" >}})
+
+## Display options
+
+> **Note:** If you are using a table visualization created before Grafana 7.0, then you need to migrate to the new table version in order to see these options. To migrate, on the Panel tab, click **Table** visualization. Grafana updates the table version and you can then access all table options.
+
+- **Show header -** Show or hide column names imported from your data source.
+- **Sort ascending/descending -** Click a column title to change the sort order from default to descending to ascending. Each time you click, the sort order changes to the next option in the cycle. You can only sort by one column at a time.
+  {{< docs-imagebox img="/img/docs/tables/sort-descending.png" max-width="500px" caption="Sort descending" class="docs-image--no-shadow" >}}
+- [Table field options]({{< relref "table-field-options.md" >}}) allow you to change [field options]({{< relref "../../field-options/_index.md" >}}) such as column width, alignment, and cell display mode.
+- [Filter table columns]({{< relref "filter-table-columns.md" >}}) - You can temporarily change how column data is displayed. For example, you can order values from highest to lowest or hide specific values.
+
+## Annotation support
+
+Annotations are not currently supported in the new table panel. This might be added back in a future release.

+
+> **Note:** This feature is available in Grafana 7.2+.
+
+If you turn on the **Column filter** in [Table options]({{< relref "table-field-options.md" >}}), then you can filter table options.
+
+## Turn on column filtering
+
+1. In Grafana, navigate to the dashboard with the table with the columns that you want to filter.
+1. On the table panel you want to filter, [open the panel editor]({{< relref "../../panel-editor.md#open-the-panel-editor" >}}).
+1. Click the **Field** tab.
+1. In Table options, turn on the **Column filter** option.
+
+A filter icon appears next to each column title.
+
+{{< docs-imagebox img="/img/docs/tables/column-filter-with-icon.png" max-width="500px" caption="Column filtering turned on" class="docs-image--no-shadow" >}}
+
+## Filter column values
+
+To filter column values, click the filter (funnel) icon next to a column title. Grafana displays the filter options for that column.
+
+{{< docs-imagebox img="/img/docs/tables/filter-column-values.png" max-width="500px" caption="Filter column values" class="docs-image--no-shadow" >}}
+
+Click the check box next to the values that you want to display. Enter text in the search field at the top to show those values in the display so that you can select them rather than scroll to find them.
+
+## Clear column filters
+
+Columns with filters applied have a blue funnel displayed next to the title.
+
+{{< docs-imagebox img="/img/docs/tables/filtered-column.png" max-width="500px" caption="Filtered column" class="docs-image--no-shadow" >}}
+
+To remove the filter, click the blue funnel icon and then click **Clear filter**.

+
+# Table field options
+
+This section explains all available table field options. They are listed in the same order as in Grafana. Options listed in this topic apply only to table panel visualizations.
+
+Most field options will not affect the visualization until you click outside of the field option box you are editing or press Enter.
+
+For more information about applying these options, refer to:
+- [Configure all fields]({{< relref "../../field-options/configure-all-fields.md" >}})
+- [Configure specific fields]({{< relref "../../field-options/configure-specific-fields.md" >}})
+
+## Column alignment
+
+Choose how Grafana should align cell contents:
+
+- Auto (default)
+- Left
+- Center
+- Right
+
+## Column width
+
+By default, Grafana automatically calculates the column width based on the cell contents. In this field option, can override the setting and define the width for all columns in pixels.
+
+For example, if you enter `100` in the field, then when you click outside the field, all the columns will be set to 100 pixels wide.
+
+## Cell display mode
+
+By default, Grafana automatically chooses display settings. You can override the settings by choosing one of the following options to change all fields.
+
+> **Note:** If you set these in the Field tab, then the display modes will apply to all fields, including the time field. Many options will work best if you set them in the Override tab.
+
+### Color text
+
+If thresholds are set, then the field text is displayed in the appropriate threshold color.
+
+{{< docs-imagebox img="/img/docs/tables/color-text.png" max-width="500px" caption="Color text" class="docs-image--no-shadow" >}}
+
+### Color background
+
+If thresholds are set, then the field background is displayed in the appropriate threshold color.
+
+{{< docs-imagebox img="/img/docs/tables/color-background.png" max-width="500px" caption="Color background" class="docs-image--no-shadow" >}}
+
+### Gradient gauge
+
+The threshold levels define a gradient.
+
+{{< docs-imagebox img="/img/docs/tables/gradient-gauge.png" max-width="500px" caption="Gradient gauge" class="docs-image--no-shadow" >}}
+
