1. Keep Tables Focused
# GOOD: Select relevant columns
df_display = df[["Name", "Revenue", "Growth"]]
table = GT(df_display)
# AVOID: Displaying too many columns
# table = GT(df) # If df has 20+ columns
2. Use Appropriate Formatting
# GOOD: Match format to data type
table = (
GT(df)
.fmt_currency(columns="Price", currency="USD")
.fmt_percent(columns="Growth", decimals=1)
.fmt_integer(columns="Units", use_seps=True)
)
# AVOID: Generic number format for everything
3. Limit Rows for Display
# GOOD: Show summary or top N
df_top10 = df.nlargest(10, "Revenue")
table = GT(df_top10)
# AVOID: Displaying thousands of rows
4. Use Color Sparingly
# GOOD: Highlight key information
table.data_color(
columns="Performance",
palette=["#fee2e2", "#dcfce7"], # Subtle colors
domain=[0, 100]
)
# AVOID: Rainbow color schemes
