A chart is a graphical representation of your figures, like in a pie chart, a line chart or a column chart for example. A table consists of the figures in your spreadsheet, arranged in an orderly fashion, and from which you can make a chart.

In a database, a table is usually lists of data, such as names or addresses. Word can also have tables to list out names and addresses, or to list out numbers like in a spreadsheet.

The spreadsheet is just the working area. A table is rows and columns that contain related data. There are additional features, such as sorting and filtering specific to a table.

I know they seem to be the same, but for instance, you could use excel to make a list of movies you would like to see using one column, so you just created a list. Now add a column next to the movie title and list the leading actor/actress and you can now make it into a table because now your columns relate to each other.

Just remember the spreadsheet is just your working area. For instance, I know people who use excel for doing letters rather than using msword.

The primary difference between a table and a spreadsheet is that a spreadsheet is a stand alone document. Tables are added inside an existing document.

Why is it sometimes easier to interpret data from looking at a chart or graph rather than from reading written information?

It can be easier for some people to interpret data from looking at a chart or graph rather than reading written information because a graph and chart pull-out all the important numbers. For a graph, you can see it, and some people are visual people, and cannot imagine it. Instead of analyzing a paragraph, it seems much easier to put your answer in a chart, instead of writing a paragraph, as no teacher would want a paragraph of answers without elaboration.
