I have a 2-column table whose first column consists of strings --
statNames = {"N", "Max", "Min", "Mean", "Std.dev.", "Median"};
-- and a column of corresponding numbers:
statNumbers = {40, 103, 2, 56.8, 22.5, 59};
If I use
TableForm[Transpose[{statNames, statNumbers}]]
then of course all the numbers will be left-aligned on their leftmost
digits.
I want to format the numbers in the table so that they will appear as
follows:
N 40
Max 103
Min 2
Mean 56.8
Std.dev. 22.5
Median 59
Notice that I want the integers to appear as integers -- WITHOUT any
trailing decimal point; but the alignment is to be as if the numbers
were aligned on the decimal points including the implicit, but
unprinted, decimal points in the integers.
How??
I've tried various things with mapping NumberForm onto the individual
numbers but cannot quite get the correct effect.
