# Tables

Tables are the "container" for all data on Redivis. They are made of rows and columns, where a row represents an individual entry or observation, and the column represents a [Variable](https://docs.redivis.com/reference/tables/variables).

Tables belong to either a [Dataset](https://docs.redivis.com/reference/datasets) or a [Workflow](https://docs.redivis.com/reference/workflows). In datasets, tables are created by [uploading data](https://docs.redivis.com/reference/datasets/create-and-edit-datasets/import-sources). In workflows, tables are created as the resulting output of a [transform](https://docs.redivis.com/reference/workflows/transforms) or [notebook](https://docs.redivis.com/reference/workflows/notebooks).

Tables can be used for analysis within a [Workflow](https://docs.redivis.com/reference/workflows). Alternatively, they can be [exported](https://docs.redivis.com/reference/tables/exporting-tables) for analysis in other environments.
