Need Help with Streamlit Table Checkbox Display

[ttuz]

Hi everyone,

I’m currently working on a Streamlit application where I’m displaying data in a table format. I’ve noticed that when I use the st.dataframe() function to display the data, the boolean values are shown as checkboxes, like this:

However, when I use the st.table() function to display the same data, the boolean values are displayed like this:

Is there any way to display boolean values as checkboxes using st.table()? I prefer the visual display of the checkboxes as it’s more intuitive for the user.

Thank you in advance for your help!

Hey @ttuz,

Thanks for posting!

Best wishes,
Charly

You can use emojis too.

true1 = "☑"
false1 = "☐"

data = pd.Series([True, False])
st.table(data.replace({False: false1, True: true1}))
st.table(data.replace({False: false2, True: true2}))
