The context tells you whether a data table or a sports ranking is meant. Words like 'Daten' (data), 'Werte' (values), 'Zeile' (row), and 'Spalte' (column) point to a data table. Terms like 'Verein' (club), 'Punkte' (points), 'Liga' (league), or 'Platz' (place) refer to sports.

When referring to a data table, typical verbs are 'eine Tabelle erstellen' (to create a table), 'eine Tabelle ausfüllen' (to fill in a table), or 'Werte in eine Tabelle eintragen' (to enter values in a table). The basic components of a table are 'die Zeile' (row, horizontal) and 'die Spalte' (column, vertical).

In a sports context, there are fixed expressions with 'Tabelle' (league table). These include 'die Tabelle anführen' (to be in first place), 'in der Tabelle aufsteigen' (to move up in the table), or 'auf einem Tabellenplatz stehen' (to be in a position in the table).
Durch den Sieg konnte die Mannschaft in der Tabelle aufsteigen.
With the win, the team was able to move up in the table.
list
'die Liste' and 'die Tabelle' both organize information. A list is usually a simple series of points, for example names, tasks, or things. A table is more strongly structured: it has rows and columns so that data can be compared easily. Learners may confuse the words because both are written forms of organization. A shopping list is usually not a table. A table fits better when several pieces of information are placed next to one another, for example name, date, and price.
In der Tabelle stehen die Preise, Mengen und Lieferzeiten nebeneinander.
The table shows the prices, quantities, and delivery times side by side.
