Question

How to create a data table (for multiple years U.S. Census data?

Answer 1

I see you asked this earlier in this question. So I'm trying to think what extra info you are after. Did you try using the WikiTree Sourcer browser extension to create household tables for census records? 

When you say "for multiple years" do you mean that you want one table with multiple census years in it? I'm trying to visualize that. Would it contain the whole households for multiple years?

There are multiple ways to create tables. The basic syntax is explained in Help:Editing Tips and in more details in Mindy's table help . The first link also links to a page describing how you can create a spreadsheet (in a program like Excel of Google Sheets) and then create a WikiTree table from it. You can now also do that via the WikiTable Wizard in the WikiTree Browser Extension.

Here is an example profile where I have added household tables for multiple US censuses using the WikiTree Sourcer extension.

Thanks. I want to create one table for five census years; or five tables. Each table would include: Address, head of household & others living in the household, ages, occupations. This will show how the individual in the profile moved around, changed spouses and changed jobs. I have described this "life story" in the Biography, but these census tables are the Sources of the narrative. I will explore your referenced links and see what I can do.

Your "example profile" is perfect!
