You can't force the Table to render data "down" instead of "across". But you can manipulate your data to work this way:

Original data:

```auto
[
    {
        "name": "Row1",
        "value": 1
    },
    {
        "name": "Row2",
        "value": 2
    }
]

```

This displays in the Table in a manner such as this:

Modify your data to this shape:

```auto
[
    {
        "name": "Name",
        "Row1": "Row1",
        "Row2": "Row2"
    },
    {
        "name": "Value",
        "Row1": 1,
        "Row2": 2
    }
]

```

Then modify the column configurations of your Table to point to these new keys (`name`, `Row1`, and `Row2`), and disable your Header.

Keep in mind that you will need a new key shared among all objects for each of the "columns" you want displayed as rows.
