Abstract: Embodiments display table data in formats that are suitable for presentation in a limited display area. The columns can be presented in numeric/text format as well as chart format. User input allows conversion of a column displayed using numeric format to a chart format and back, for example, by double tapping on a touch sensitive screen. A key column is displayed with the chart column. Depending on the screen size, other columns may be displayed along with the chart column. Embodiments determine whether text data is displayed using a single line or multiple lines, based on percentage of labels of the column that fit within the width of the column. Various criteria determine width of columns displayed using collapsed width or expanded width. User input allows conversion of column display from collapsed width to expanded width or back, for example, by double tapping on the screen.
