Special purpose tables provide information for particular discussion. A special purpose table should be designed so that a reader may easily refer to the table for comparison, analysis, or emphasis concerning the particular discussion. Thus the table should be constructed in a short and simple manner and should be placed near the pertinent textual discussion. 1, record 1, English, - special%20purpose%20table

Du point de vue de leur utilisation, on peut distinguer plusieurs types de tableaux statistiques : [...] les tableaux à but spécifié accompagnent une étude et sont établis de façon à mettre en valeur certains aspects des données ou à faciliter telle ou telle comparaison. Ils doivent rester assez restreints en volume [...] Il faut encore qu'ils soient faciles à comprendre. 1, record 1, French, - tableau%20%C3%A0%20but%20sp%C3%A9cifi%C3%A9
