In APA 7, a Table is a gridded numerical representation of values, or textual information.
Figures are charts, graphs, and other visual items that are not considered Tables.
APA looks for self-created tables and graphs, which can be done in Excel and imported into your paper or presentation.
Since they are created by the author, Tables and Figures do NOT require an entry on the References page, only in-text under the table or figure.
When you use a graph or another visual representation that is not a photograph or an image, it must be cited as Figure.
The figures must be numbered in succession throughout the paper or slideshow and must be cited individually under the figure itself.
It is not necessary to put the citations both under the figure and on the References page but check with your instructor for their preference.
