Data Table Addon for Elementor 1.0

A Data Table Addon for Elementor is a specific type of widget or plugin extension designed to help you create, manage, and style complex tables within the Elementor page builder. Since Elementor does not have a native "Data Table" widget in its free version, these addons are essential for displaying structured information like pricing comparisons, schedules, or technical specifications.

While there are many specific plugins with this name, they generally fall into two categories: Dedicated Table Plugins (like TablePress) or All-in-One Addon Packs (like Essential Addons or ElementsKit).

## Key Features to Look For

Data Sources: Look for the ability to import data from CSV files, Google Sheets, or TablePress. Manual entry is fine for small tables, but tedious for large ones.

Live Search & Filtering: Allows visitors to type in a search box to find specific rows instantly.

Sorting & Pagination: Users can click column headers to sort (A-Z or High-Low) and navigate through "pages" of data if the table is long.

Responsiveness: Good addons provide a "Responsive Mode" that either turns the table into a scrollable area or stacks the cells vertically on mobile devices.

Cell Merging: Support for RowSpan and ColSpan, which allows you to merge cells horizontally or vertically for complex layouts.

Multimedia Support: The ability to insert images, icons, and buttons directly into table cells.
