The formatting of tables is unfortunately not easy in MediaWiki. Tables are build up with a pipe syntax defining the single rows and cells. Before you start to learn that please consider the possibility to transform spreadsheet formats to wiki-syntax!
Spreadsheet to wiki table format
To convert from spreadsheets such as Gnumeric, MS Excel or OpenOffice.org Calc, go here.
Here you can see an example of wiki-syntax for a simple table and the resulting outcome below it:
{| class="wikitable"
|-
! header 1
! header 2
! header 3
|-
| row 1, cell 1
| row 1, cell 2
| row 1, cell 3
|-
| row 2, cell 1
| row 2, cell 2
| row 2, cell 3
|}
| header 1 | header 2 | header 3 |
|---|---|---|
| row 1, cell 1 | row 1, cell 2 | row 1, cell 3 |
| row 2, cell 1 | row 2, cell 2 | row 2, cell 3 |
 |
