# Setting up a New Table tool Sometimes, the best way to store data involved in a workflow is within the workflow itself. For instance, if you want to embed a look-up table instead of hosting it in a database or shared data locker, or if you'd like to analyze a table on your clipboard, you can make use of the [New Table](https://docs.cascade.io/cascade/tools/import/newtable) tool.

## Example - Paste a Wikipedia Table For example, if you're doing some research on Wikipedia and find some data you'd like to analyze in Cascade, you can copy the data table into your computer's clipboard and paste it in the first cell of the [New Table](https://docs.cascade.io/cascade/tools/import/newtable) tool, using the appropriate paste hotkey (Ctrl+V, Command+V, etc.).

The column names and data types can then be configured in the tool configuration of the [New Table](https://docs.cascade.io/cascade/tools/import/newtable) tool in the left-hand panel.

It's important to note that data held in a [New Table](https://docs.cascade.io/cascade/tools/import/newtable) tool will not be refreshed unless manually updated by the user. ### Other Sources {% content-ref url="../../tools/import/newtable" %} [newtable](https://docs.cascade.io/cascade/tools/import/newtable) {% endcontent-ref %}
