About this Financial Data Table

When displaying numerical data, especially currency, specific formatting conventions can drastically improve readability. This template incorporates those best practices. Numbers are right-aligned to align decimal points (even if they are implicit), making it easier to scan and compare magnitudes. A monospaced font is used for the numerical data to ensure that all digits have the same width, which further helps with alignment. Finally, simple CSS classes are used to color-code values, making positive and negative trends instantly recognizable.

Key Features:

Right-Aligned Numbers: A fundamental practice for displaying tabular numeric data correctly.
Monospaced Font for Figures: Ensures numbers are perfectly aligned in columns.
Conditional Coloring: Simple CSS classes (.positive, .negative) to highlight financial performance.
Clean & Professional: The design is clean and formal, suitable for reports and business applications.

Ideal Use Cases:

Stock market or portfolio summaries.
Sales reports and profit/loss statements.
Accounting ledgers and budget sheets.
Any table where the primary content is numerical and requires careful comparison.

Dependencies:

None. This template uses only pure HTML and CSS.

Accessibility Notes:

While color is used to add emphasis, it is not the only indicator of positive or negative values; the minus sign (-) is also present, ensuring the data is understandable without color vision. The table uses a proper semantic structure with scoped headers (th) for full screen reader compatibility.
