See this example properly formatted in the QUT Cite tool.
If you are discussing a table in-text, follow the standard in-text citation examples in Getting started - In-text citation.
If you are reproducing a whole table, you should give it a table number, title and caption. Your caption should include an in-text citation, and a description of the table source that will make sense to the reader e.g. book title, website name, article authors.
If you are compiling data from multiple sources into a table, indicate the source for each part by adding a superscript letter, the same way you would a numbered citation. Under the table caption, give the letter, a short description of the data source, and a numbered citation. See below Table 1.
