How do you use row and column tables?

I see it all the time at my customers -- rows and columns of numbers filling a page -- when instead they could be using a powerful, yet simple, visualization to make insights jump out. 

I'm going to openly share the responses with the goal of helping others understand they are not alone and provide ideas on alternatives.  My appreciation in advance.
