Well do I have good news for you. Here is a quick and easy tutorial to make your table look awesome.

Things you will need:

Abilty to Copy-Paste
A Spreadsheet program (google drive has a free one if you don't)


Step 1: Switch Modes.
You see that blue button inside the big red circle with the arrow pointing at it in the picture below?

Step 2: Get the base.
