The XY table format is used for dose-response curves, time-course data, scatter plots with regression lines, and pharmacokinetic concentration-time profiles. The Column table format is used for comparisons between groups by ANOVA or t-test, including box plots and bar graphs with error bars, and supports built-in normality testing. The Grouped table format is used for two-way ANOVA designs involving multiple treatments across multiple time points, generating clustered bar graphs. The Survival table format supports Kaplan-Meier survival curve analysis with the log-rank test, appropriately handling censored data. The Contingency table format supports chi-square and Fisher's exact tests for categorical data such as mortality rate or disease incidence, typically arranged in a 2×2 format. The Parts-of-whole table format supports pie charts and stacked bar charts, useful for representing percentage composition data such as flow-cytometry (FACS) cell-population results.
