   I'd like to display the archives/categories/category count in a table like so:

   <table>
   <caption>Caption here</caption>
   <thead>
   <tr>
   <td></td>
   <th id="January">January</th>
   <th id="February">February</th>
   <th id="March">March</th>
   </tr>
   </thead>

   <tbody>
   <tr>
   <th>News Category</th>
   <td>150</td>
   <td>160</td>
   <td>40</td>
   </tr>
   <tr>
   <th>Media Category</th>
   <td>3</td>
   <td>40</td>
   <td>30</td>
   </tr>
   <tr>
   <th>Sports Category</th>
   <td>10</td>
   <td>00</td>
   <td>10</td>
   </tr>
   </tbody>
   </table>

   Is this possible to setup in the loop with wp_get_archives?

   I don't think so. And I just cannot help myself. I have to ask. Why? Tables are for tabular data. Not really for presenting lists like this. So just wondering the logic of it.

   Actually, a great question! I'm looking for a way to show posts in categories as graphs/charts, this seemed like a good start:

   Just wasn't exactly sure how to get the data into a tabular format.
