## Overview

Learn how to generate professional product comparison tables that automatically adapt to your data. This guide shows you how to:

-   Compare multiple products or companies using horizontal loops
-   Add dynamic company logos and images
-   Create tables that look great across multiple pages
-   Use conditional formatting for feature comparison

## Step-by-Step Guide

### 1\. Create the Basic Table Structure

-   Insert a table from the **Insert** menu
    
    -   Select **Table** and create your desired layout (e.g., 3x3)
    -   Add column headers using the horizontal loop syntax
    -   Example: `{d.datas[0].benchmark[i].product}` for the first column and `{d.datas[0].benchmark[i+1].product}` for subsequent columns
-   Add Dynamic Logos
    
    -   Insert a temporary image in the table
    -   Use **View alt text** to set the dynamic logo path
    -   Example: `{d.datas[0].benchmark[i].logo}`

> ℹ️ **Note:** You only need to use the `[i+1]` syntax once for each array iteration.

### 2\. Set Up Feature Comparison

Create feature rows using vertical iteration:

```text
{d.datas[i].features[i].name}
{d.datas[i].features[i+1]}
```

### 3\. Add Conditional Images

-   Insert status indicators using placeholders:
    -   Add an image placeholder
    -   Use **View Alt Text** to set the image path
    -   Implement conditional logic using the [:ifEQ](/documentation/design/conditions/overview.md#ifeq-value) formatter
-   Example of simple condition:
    
    ```text
    {d.datas[i].features[i].cols[i].status:ifEQ(1):show(d.legend.YES)}
    ```
    
-   Example of multiple conditions:
    
    ```text
    {d.datas[i].features[i].cols[i].status:ifEQ(1):show(d.legend.YES):ifEQ(2):show(d.legend.OPTION):ifEQ(3):show(d.legend.NO)}
    ```
    

### Technical Tips for Better Layout

-   Prevent Row Breaks Across Pages
    
    -   Select the entire table
    -   Right-click → **Table Properties**
    -   Go to **Row** tab
    -   Uncheck "Allow rows to break across pages"
-   Repeat Headers on New Pages
    
    -   Select the table's header row
    -   Right-click → **Table Properties**
    -   Go to **Row** tab
    -   Check "Repeat as header row at the top of each page"
