Right-Align Numeric Columns in a Table

Right-Aligning Numbers

In professional data presentation, numeric values are typically right-aligned so that digits line up by place value. This makes it easy to compare magnitudes at a glance — you can instantly see that 1,000 is larger than 100 because the digits stack correctly.

Per-Column Alignment Controls

The tool detects the number of columns from your input and displays individual left/center/right buttons for each column. This per-column control is what makes mixed alignment possible — no need to choose a single alignment for the entire table.

Center Alignment

For header rows or status columns, center alignment can also be effective. For example, centering a "Status" column that contains values like "OK", "WARN", and "ERROR" makes the table look balanced. You can set different alignments per column to achieve the exact layout you want.
