Labeling can be done like the following example fron the
"Applications" section of the Grid doc page:
data = {{"first", 1, 2, 3}, {"second", 11, 5, 6}, {"third", 111, 8,
9}, {"fourth", 1111, 10, 11}};
Text@Grid[Prepend[data, {"name", "a", "b", "c"}],
Background -> {None, {Lighter[Yellow, .9], {White,
Lighter[Blend[{Blue, Green}], .8]}}},
Dividers -> {{Darker[Gray, .6], {Lighter[Gray, .5]},
Darker[Gray, .6]}, {Darker[Gray, .6], Darker[Gray, .6], {False},
Darker[Gray, .6]}}, Alignment -> {{Left, Right, {Left}}},
ItemSize -> {{10, 3, 5, 5}}, Frame -> Darker[Gray, .6],
ItemStyle -> 14, Spacings -> {Automatic, .8}]
You see that Prepend is used to insert names in the grid. TableForm
has an option TableHeadings that can be used for this as well.
Assigning a symbolic name to each column can be done thus:
{name,a,b,c}=Transpose[data]
In[4]:= Mean[b]
Out[4]= 25/4
In[5]:= Sort[name]
Out[5]= {"first", "fourth", "second", "third"}
