Yes I have heard of this when I was previously introduced to Tables. I also heard that they can store data, strings, integers, and whatnot, But, how would you access them in Data terms? I know how to access one, easily, and also how to make one. But what would be a good example of using a Table to store Data. I mean, they can store integers, so they can store a player's money. They can store strings, maybe t a rank. But how would you use them in this sort of matter?

Data Persistence is deprecated and you should use Data Store.
Anyways, there are methods for the player object which are: WaitForDataReady, SaveNumber, SaveString, SaveInstance, SaveBoolean, LoadNumber, LoadString, LoadInstance, LoadBoolean,
You want to WaitForDataReady before saving and loading when they join the game. So to save a number (let's say how much cash they have) we can use the SaveNumber method. And when they rejoin the game we can load it using the LoadNumber method.
Game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(player) -- When someone joins
player:WaitForDataReady(); -- Make sure we can save/load
local savedMoney = player:LoadNumber("Money"); -- How much money was saved
print(player.Name .. " had: $" .. savedMoney .. " saved up!"); -- Print how much money was saved.
player:SaveNumber("Money", savedMoney + 10); -- Add 10 to how much money they saved (this will happen every time they join)
end);
