A data table sheet is something usually made by the game designers, and they pass it to the engineers inside the engine, so they can use it. It is basically just a table made in a third-party application.
You can use something like Excel to build the tables as Excel sheets, or you can just use something free and reachable like a Google spreadsheet, but in general it needs to be just a table.
