# Table

Follow this procedure to add a Table data source in Report Designer.

1. Select the **Data** tab in the upper right pane.

   By default, Report Designer starts in the **Structure** tab, which shares a pane with **Data**.
2. Click the yellow cylinder icon in the upper left part of the **Data** pane, or right-click **Data Sets**.

   A drop-down menu with a list of supported data source types will appear.
3. Select **Table** from the drop-down menu.

   The Table Datasource Editor window will appear.
4. Click the round green **+** icon to add a query, then type in a name for the new query in the **Name** field.
5. Use the four buttons below the **Name** field to add or remove rows and columns appropriately, or click the **Import Spreadsheet** button in the lower left corner to pull in data from an XLS file.
6. Enter or change any tabular data by selecting, then double-clicking a cell.
7. Click **OK** when you're done creating your Table data source.
