A pretty good data table.

Here's an example data table.  

Most of these formatting things (number of digits displayed, centering, text wrapping, text bold, border lines) can be found by hitting the key strokes "Ctrl + 1" on a PC or "open apple/command + 1" on a Mac.  My second favorite short cut keys.
