You can add a table using HTML rather than wiki markup, as described at HTML element#Tables. However, HTML tables are discouraged because wikitables are easier to customize and maintain, as described at manual of style on tables. Also, note that the <thead>, <tbody>, <tfoot>, <colgroup>, and <col> elements are not supported in wikitext.
Currently, there does not seem to be a way to copy those tables to a wiki and keep styling such as colors (background or text color). It is possible to convert PDF tables to Excel and keep the colors. Or to HTML tables and keep the colors. But there does not seem to be a way to copy any of those colored tables (PDF, Excel, HTML, etc.) to a wiki.
This tutorial provides a guide to making new tables and editing existing ones. For guidelines on when and how to use tables, see the Manual of Style. The easiest way to insert a new table is to use the editing toolbar that appears when you edit a page (see image above).
Compact HyperText Markup Language (C-HTML) – used for some mobile phones. Computable Document Format - used for interactive technical documents. ConTeXt – a modular, structured formatting language based on TeX. Darwin Information Typing Architecture (DITA) - modular open free format for technical and specialized documents.

All data tables need a table caption that succinctly describes what the table is about. [WCAG 2] It plays the role of a table heading, and is recommended as a best practice. [2] You would usually need some kind of heading or description introducing a new table anyway, and this is what the caption feature exists for. Table captions are made with |+.
For years in HTML, a table has always forced an implicit line-wrap (or line-break). So, to keep a table within a line, the workaround is to put the whole line into a table, then embed a table within a table, using the outer table to force the whole line to stay together. Consider the following examples: Wikicode (showing table forces line-break)
Tables are a way of presenting information into rows and columns. Tables can be useful for various types of content on Wikipedia, but they should only be used when appropriate. In some cases, the information might be better conveyed in prose or as embedded lists. Overusing tables, especially with complex coding, can make pages harder to edit ...
