How to make a large table responsive - html

Question

My tables display fine on desktop, but once I try to view the mobile version my table ends up being too wide for the mobile device screen. I am using a responsive layout.
How can I set this table to be displayed fine in the mobile

Answer 1

Another option might be to enable horizontal scrolling for the table by adding overflow-x:auto; to the stylesheet for the parent div.
div.table-responsive {
overflow-x:auto;
}

Answer 2

Don't try to fight fisics, my friends. Maybe you can hide the less important columns using media queries, show 3 instead of 6
