APA 7th Edition Compliant
Generate APA-oriented tables for supported analyses, then review the statistical content and adapt the table to the target journal or institution.
Verified Migration Workflow
Import supported data formats, recreate the analysis, and compare results and defaults before replacing an SPSS-based table workflow.
Multiple Table Types
Create regression tables, ANOVA tables, correlation matrices, descriptive statistics tables, and more with professional formatting.
Copy & Paste Workflow
Simply copy your data from Excel or SPSS and paste it into our generator for instant APA format table creation.
Publication-Ready Output
Generate publication-ready tables with automatic formatting, so you can focus on your research and interpretation. Select the output that matches your analysis and manuscript requirements.
Flexible Access
Guest Access supports exploration with sample data. Personal-data import and export capabilities depend on the selected education or paid plan.
APA 7 descriptive statistics table: worked example
Inspect the data, calculations, and presentation before preparing your own table. This synthetic teaching example is freely available to read and download. It illustrates table construction; it is not an exported DataStatPro result or a cross-software validation claim.
| Group | n | M | SD |
|---|---|---|---|
| A | 5 | 12.00 | 3.16 |
| B | 5 | 16.00 | 3.16 |
Note. Scores are unitless synthetic values. M = arithmetic mean; SD = sample standard deviation, calculated using n โ 1. There are five observations per group and no missing values. Values are rounded only for display.

Check the numbers
Group A contains 8, 10, 12, 14, and 16; Group B contains 12, 14, 16, 18, and 20. The means are 12 and 16. Each group has a sum of squared deviations of 40, so the sample variance is 40 / 4 = 10 and the sample standard deviation is โ10 = 3.16227766. This table describes the groups and does not establish a statistically significant difference.
Apply the workflow to your data
- Review variable types, group labels, units, and missing values.
- Use the numerical descriptives tutorial to check the summaries.
- With Pro or Edu Pro, prepare supported publication tables and review the export against your manuscript requirements.
- Check the number, title, headings, precision, and notes against APA table guidance and your journal instructions.
Free Guest Access supports app exploration with built-in sample datasets. Publication tools require Pro ($89/year) or Edu Pro ($49/year with a valid .edu email); they are not included in the Standard trial.
APA tables for common statistical analyses
Different analyses require different estimates, uncertainty measures, and notes. Choose the workflow for your thesis, dissertation, manuscript, or report and generate a table with its formatting already prepared.
Descriptive statistics tables
Report the sample size and appropriate summaries such as mean and standard deviation or median and interquartile range. Define groups, units, and missing-data handling.
Group-comparison tables
Check group sizes, estimates, uncertainty, test statistics, degrees of freedom, p-values, effect sizes, and any adjustment for multiple comparisons.
Correlation matrices
Identify the correlation method, sample size, treatment of missing pairs, precision, significance notation, and whether confidence intervals are required.
Regression tables
Distinguish unstandardized and standardized coefficients, report standard errors or confidence intervals, define reference categories, and include relevant model-fit information.
ANOVA and model tables
Verify sources of variation, degrees of freedom, test statistics, p-values, effect sizes, model terms, corrections, and the post-hoc procedure used.
Final publication review
Check the table number, italicized statistical symbols, title, headings, decimal alignment, abbreviations, notes, and the exact instructions of the target journal or institution.
