Since your "Data" and "A", "B" & "C" cell appear to be heading not data
cells, style them differently, (look up TH element).
In your stylesheet:
TABLE { width: 20%, border: 1px solid black; }
TH, TD { border: 1px solid black; }
TD { text-align: right; }
Your HTML:
<table>
<tr><th colspan="2">Date</th></tr>
<tr><th>A</th><td>1</td></tr>
<tr><th>B</th><td>2</td></tr>
<tr><th>C</th><td>3</td></tr>
</table>
If you want more that one type of styling for your data cell then create
classes like:
..totals, .bucks { text-align: right: padding-right: .5em; }
..totals { font-weight: bold; }

Take care,
