# Infinite Columns Horizontal Scroll Data Table (Repeating Group)

## Overview

This block allows a user to view a list of things in a mobile-friendly data table format and apply additional filters to the list. This block is useful when you need to display a high number of columns on desktop and mobile. The table is horizontally scrollable at all times (similar to an Excel spreadsheet). 

A user can click on the `︙icon` to edit or delete an item via a menu focus group. For more information on how to use the `menufocusgroup_template` reusable element, please [click here](/canvas/5.2/canvas-functionality/reference/reusable-elements/menu-focus-elements.md). 

{% hint style="info" %}
There is [another version](/canvas/5.2/canvas-library/blocks/infinite-columns-horizontal-scroll-data-table-table-element.md) of this block built using a Table element instead of Bubble's Repeating Group element. You should use this Repeating Group version if you need a more complex data table UI (e.g. nested repeating groups or clicking on a row to expand more details below the row). If you're building a simple data table, then we recommend using the Table element version.
{% endhint %}

## Structure

* When this block is added to a page, it is placed within a **Group main content - Paste group** on the page. This group contains the responsive settings for all blocks.
* This block contains these main groups:
  * **Group Infinite Horizontal Scroll Data Table** - This group contains the title, data table, empty state, and placeholder elements.
  * **Group Main header section** - contains the title, description, tabs, new button, and reusable element **filters\_template**.
  * **Group Main data table** - contains the repeating group and table elements. The repeating group that holds the main data that is displayed by the table. For demo purposes, we use Arbitrary Text as a data source. [Click here](/canvas/5.2/canvas-library/updating-asset-rg-data-source.md) to learn how to change the data source.
  * **Group scrolling container** - contains the horizontal scrollable table. Please note that this group must have a min width of 1100 in order for the table to be scrollable and have an infinite width. 
  * **Group Main empty state** -  This group can become visible when the data table repeating group contains 0 entries.
