=== Zu beurteilende Tabelle ===
[[Image:AnimalsKilledforFood.jpg|600px]]
== Critical comments ==
* Too many colors where white space would be sufficient.
* The comparison column ''07/06'' is placed between the two columns it refers to (''2006'' and ''2007''), but this is not true for the comparison column ''06/05''.
* In the columns ''06/05'' and ''07/06'' the numbers / decimal points are not aligned.
* A comma is placed to the left of every three digits in the ''Total'' row, but not in the table body.
* In the ''%died'' column, a % sign is missing after each number.
* In the column headers, years are sometimes formatted using four digits (e.g. ''2005''), and sometimes using two digits (e.g. ''06/05'').
* Columns ''06/05'' and ''07/06'' use a higher precision / more digits after the comma.
* Different fonts are used in the table body and the column / row headers.
* Some column headers are set to bold font and some are not.
* All numbers in the ''2007'' column are bold just like the numbers in the ''Total'' row, although the ''2007'' numbers do not summarize anything.
* Columns are separated from each other using colors, which makes it difficult to scan through the rows and compare numbers from one row to each other.
* The spanner header ''2005'' is not aligned to the center, while all other spanner headers are center-aligned.
* The outer grid is not necessary.
* More categories are available in the ''2006'' section than in the ''2005'' and ''2007'' section.
== Adapted table ==
[[Image:ue2_adaptedtable_0426716.gif]]
== Adaptions ==
* The color-seperation was replaced by a whitespace(grey background on every second row). By using the whitespaces the colors don't distract and the information is easily readable
* The comparison columns were placed at the end of the table. The placement between the years leads to confusion
* The numbers / decimal points are aligned in all columns
* The usage of a comma/point is being applied to all numbers the same
* The %-Symbol has been added everywhere it is supposed to be
* The formatting in the headers and the table now has a standard.
* The usage of decimal places has been standardized
* One font has been chosen for the whole table diversifying in weight and size
* All column headers are now bold
* Only the numbers in the total column are now bold. This way there is no confusion about the usage of this formating
* The seperation through a whitespace is a great way to seperate columns.
* The spanner-headers are all aligned the same way
* The outer grid has been removed
* Due to the fact, that there is not enough information in the years 2005 and 2007, the main order in the table is now the "killed" column. From this column there is the information from all given years
