Overview
Sometimes the audience doesn't want an abstraction of the numbers, they want the numbers. A bar's length is a great way to compare magnitude at a glance, but a pricing table, a league standing, or a financial line item is often read for its exact figure, not estimated from how long a bar looks. An animated table gives that audience the literal numbers, with the motion and emphasis a static spreadsheet screenshot can't offer.
Rows slide in one by one instead of appearing all at once, which gives even a plain table a sense of build and pacing, and the rows you pin light up in your accent colour with a sweep and bold text, so the figure you want the room to remember lands last and loudest. A second column lets you show a period-over-period comparison, this quarter next to last, without needing a second chart.
It's a deliberate trade against the visual comparison a bar chart gives you for free. If the point is 'which is bigger', bars answer that faster than a column of numbers ever will. Reach for a table when the point is 'here is the exact figure', and let the highlight do the work of pointing at the one that matters.
How it works
Each row has a label and one or two numeric columns, e.g. this period and last period. Rows render top to bottom in the order you enter them, each sliding in with a brief stagger so the table builds instead of appearing as a static block.
Any row you pin gets an accent-coloured sweep, bolder text, and a coloured left edge once it lands, separating it visually from the rest without needing an arrow or a callout box. Use it on the one line the audience should walk away remembering.

Compare
Highlight table vs the alternatives, at a glance.
| Chart type | Best for | Avoid when |
|---|---|---|
| Highlight table | Exact figures the audience will want to check | Magnitude comparison matters more than the figure |
| Bar / column | Comparing values across categories at a glance | The audience wants to read exact numbers |
| KPI scorecard | A wider board of metrics with deltas | You need a row-by-row, list-style layout |
| Ranking | A numbered top-N leaderboard | You need two full numeric columns per row |
Your data
One row per line item: a label, a value, and an optional second value for a period-over-period comparison. Pin the row you want spotlighted. Paste straight from Excel or Sheets, or import a CSV. Up to about 10 rows fits one screen cleanly.
| Label | Value | Prev. |
|---|---|---|
| Enterprise | 618 | 512 |
| Team | 344 | 331 |
| Pro | 296 | 287 |
| Starter | 121 | 134 |

Best practices
Watch out
Pin more than one or two rows and the accent sweep stops meaning anything. Reserve it for the number that matters most.
A table that needs scrolling loses the build-in-one-view effect the animation is for. Trim to what fits, or use a bar/ranking chart for a longer list.
If the point is 'which is bigger', a column of numbers makes the reader do the comparison themselves. A bar chart does it visually and faster.
A number next to another number with no header invites the wrong comparison. Always title both columns clearly.
Why Reochart
FAQ
When the exact figures are the message — pricing, standings, financial lines — or when the audience will want to check the numbers, not estimate them from bar lengths.
Pin any row in the editor and it animates in with an accent sweep, bold text and a coloured edge in the video.
Use a table when exact figures matter and the audience will want to read them directly. Use a bar chart when the point is comparing size, and precise numbers are secondary.
About 10 fits cleanly on one screen, which is the point of the format — a table that needs scrolling loses its build-in-one-view impact.
Yes. Add a second value per row (this period, last period, or a target) and both columns render with their own header.
Yes. Rows slide in one by one by default, and you can export the animation as an MP4 or GIF, or grab a static PNG or SVG.
Yes. Pro exports a crisp, scalable SVG vector, alongside MP4, GIF and PNG. Every export renders at 1080p.
On Pro, yes. Set a brand palette and add a logo that replaces the watermark on every export.
Yes. The free plan lets you make every chart type except the animated bar chart race, and export an animated MP4 with a small watermark, no card needed. Pro adds the bar chart race, removes the watermark, and adds GIF and SVG, your brand colours and logo, longer videos and CSV import.
