**Data Tables Generator by Supsystic**
A powerful table builder plugin for WordPress — with built-in charts and graphs. Think of it like **Excel spreadsheets for WordPress websites**, where your data lives in structured tables and can also be visualised with charts when needed.

Data Tables Generator by Supsystic is a flexible [WordPress table plugin](https://supsystic.com/plugins/wordpress-data-table-plugin/) that lets you create clean, interactive tables and datatables, with integrated charts and graphs to present structured data clearly — without writing code.

If your content makes more sense in rows and columns — but benefits from visual insights too — this plugin was built for you.

= 🤖 Now Works With AI — Control Your Tables by Typing or Talking =

Data Tables Generator now connects directly to the AI tools you already use — including ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Copilot, Cursor, and any other AI assistant that supports the MCP standard.

Instead of clicking through menus, just ask:

* "What's the average value in column B?"
* "Which rows have a quantity below 10?"
* "Give me a summary of this table."

Your AI assistant reads your WordPress tables and answers instantly. No SQL. No exports. No manual scanning.

Included free: read and analyse any table using AI chat or voice.

= ⚡ Pro AI Add-On — Create, Edit and Manage Tables With AI =

Upgrade to the Pro AI add-on and your AI assistant goes from reader to editor. Just describe what you want done:

* "Create a pricing table with three tiers."
* "Add a new column for discount percentage."
* "Apply a formula to calculate totals in the last row."
* "Export this table as Excel."

No need to open the WordPress dashboard. Non-technical team members can create and update structured data safely, just by asking.

Free = ask questions about your data. Pro AI = create, edit and manage it.

= 📊 Turn Data Into Usable Tables (and Visuals) =
Create:
* Simple and complex data tables
* Comparison and pricing tables
* Lists, schedules, directories, and datasets
* Large tables built from spreadsheet-style data
* [Charts and graphs](https://supsystic.com/blog/how-to-visualize-data-table-information-with/) generated directly from table data

Tables are responsive by default and remain readable on all devices.

= 🧩 A Serious Table Builder — Not Just a Block =
This is a dedicated table builder, designed for real data.
Built for table-heavy content where structure and usability matter:

* Sorting, searching, and pagination
* Column control and visibility options
* Reliable performance with large datatables
* Visual charts to highlight trends and comparisons

You get structured tables and visual storytelling in one plugin.

= 📥 Import From Spreadsheet & Database Sources =
Create tables manually or [import data](https://supsystic.com/importing-data-into-wordpress-tables/) from:
* CSV files
* Excel spreadsheets
* Google Sheets
* MySQL databases

Ideal if your data already lives outside WordPress.

= 🔄 Work With Dynamic Data =
Data Tables Generator supports tables connected to [external data sources](https://supsystic.com/docs/data-tables/).
When your source data changes — such as a spreadsheet or database — tables can be updated without rebuilding them from scratch. This makes it suitable for data that evolves over time, not just static content.
**For example**:
If you manage a product list, pricing table, availability sheet, or catalogue in a spreadsheet, you can connect it to a table on your site.
When prices, descriptions, or other data change in the source file, the table can be updated without manually editing it inside WordPress.

= 🎨 Style Tables to Match Your Site =
[Customise tables and charts](https://supsystic.com/building-pricing-tables-with-wordpress-plugin/) visually:
* Fonts, colours, borders, and spacing
* Row and column formatting
* Links, images, icons, and tooltips
* Optional custom CSS is available for advanced users.

Table cells can also include images and video, allowing you to build richer layouts — such as:
* Product or feature comparison tables with short demo videos
* Staff or team directories with profile media
* Data lists where visuals explain context better than text

= 📘 Learn as You Go =
Data Tables Generator includes a growing library of [step-by-step tutorials](https://supsystic.com/docs/data-tables/).
From your first table to more advanced setups with charts and larger datasets, the guides focus on practical, real-world use cases.

= ⚡ Fast, Stable, and Actively Maintained =
Built to handle real-world data without slowing down your site. The plugin is [regularly updated](https://wordpress.org/plugins/data-tables-generator-by-supsystic/#developers) to stay compatible with the latest versions of WordPress and modern themes.

= ⚙️ Beginner Friendly. Developer Capable. =
* Visual table builder UI
* Insert tables using shortcodes or blocks
* Extend behaviour with custom CSS or JavaScript
Suitable for site owners, agencies, and developers alike.

= 🔓 Free Version + Pro When You Need More Power =
The free version covers most common table use cases [Upgrade to Pro](https://supsystic.com/plugins/wordpress-data-table-plugin/) and is ideal for getting started — including free AI read and analyse access.

As your data grows or requirements become more advanced, the Pro version unlocks tools designed to save time and reduce manual work, including:

* Formula calculations and computed values
* Advanced filtering and search logic
* Front-end table editing
* Additional import and export options
* Enhanced chart and visualisation features

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= How do I create my first table? =
After installing the plugin, go to Data Tables → Add New in your WordPress dashboard.
You can start with a blank table or import data from a spreadsheet. The table editor works much like a spreadsheet, so adding rows, columns, and content should feel familiar.

= How can I edit table data after it's created? =
You can edit table data at any time from the table editor in the WordPress admin area.
For more advanced workflows, the Pro version also supports front-end table editing, allowing authorised users to update data directly from the site interface.

= Can I style tables to match my site design? =
Yes. Tables can be styled visually to match your theme.
You can control fonts, colours, borders, spacing, and layout options directly in the plugin. Advanced users can also apply custom CSS if needed.

= Can I import data from Excel, CSV, or Google Sheets? =
Yes. Data Tables Generator supports importing data from CSV files, Excel spreadsheets, Google Sheets, and MySQL databases.
This makes it easy to turn existing spreadsheet data into interactive tables on your WordPress site.

= How do I add a table to a page or post? =
Tables can be added to pages or posts using shortcodes or blocks.
Once inserted, the table will automatically reflect any updates made in the table editor.

= Can I add images, links, or media inside tables? =
Yes. Table cells can include images, links, icons, videos, and other HTML elements.
This allows you to create richer tables such as product comparisons, staff directories, or feature lists with visual elements.

= Does the plugin support formulas and calculations? =
Yes — formula calculations and computed values are available in the Pro version.
This is useful for totals, percentages, and other calculated fields that update automatically when table data changes.

= Does the plugin support dynamic or updating data sources? =
Yes. Tables can be connected to external data sources such as spreadsheets or databases.
When the source data changes, tables can be updated without rebuilding them from scratch. This makes the plugin suitable for data that evolves over time, not just static content.

= Is Data Tables Generator fast and compatible with modern WordPress sites? =
Yes. The plugin is designed to handle real-world datasets while maintaining good performance.
It is actively maintained and regularly updated to stay compatible with current versions of WordPress, modern themes, and common page builders.

= What AI assistants does this work with? =
Data Tables Generator connects to any AI assistant that supports the MCP standard, including ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Microsoft Copilot, and Cursor. If your AI tool supports MCP, it works.

= Do I need technical skills to use the AI features? =
No. Once connected, you simply type (or speak) what you want in your AI assistant — just like sending a message. No SQL, no coding, no exporting data manually.

= What can I do with AI for free? =
The free version lets you read and analyse any of your WordPress tables using AI. You can ask questions, run calculations, and get summaries — but cannot create or edit tables via AI. That requires the Pro AI add-on.

= What does the Pro AI add-on let me do that the free version doesn't? =
With the Pro AI add-on your AI assistant can create new tables, edit existing ones, apply formulas, change formatting, and import or export data — all just by describing what you want done.

= Do I need the Pro base plugin before I can get the AI add-on? =
Yes. The Pro AI add-on requires the Pro version of Data Tables Generator to be installed first.

= Is the AI add-on included in the Pro plugin price? =
No. The Pro AI add-on is a separate module, available at an additional cost. You can purchase them together as a bundle.

= Will this work with future AI assistants, not just the ones listed? =
Yes. The integration is built on MCP — an open standard being adopted broadly across the AI industry, including natively in WordPress from version 7.0 onwards. Any AI assistant that supports MCP will work automatically.

= Where can I find tutorials, documentation, and support? =
You'll find step-by-step documentation and tutorials on the Supsystic website.
Some guides are written walkthroughs, while others are available as video tutorials.
If you need help, support is provided by real people who build and use the plugin every day.
