Is it possible to split css table into multiple columns? - css

Question

I'm trying to make a responsive table, but I have no idea about how can I achieve this. After googling, could not find a solution.
So, I have this table in desktop view:
1 2 3
I B C D
II C D E
III D E F
IV E F G
And I'm trying to get this in responsive view:
1
I B
II C
III D
IV E
2
I C
II D
III E
IV F
etc..
Any kind of help would be appreciated

There are several available, responsive table solutions including this simple, CSS-only pattern:
data-label attribute :
First, we’ll add a data-label attribute to each data cell with a value that represents that column’s name. That will be used for labeling purposes in the responsive layout.
In smaller viewports the and elements will display as block-level and not as table rows and cells. And the ::before pseudo-class now serves as a label.
body {
font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif;

table {
border: 1px solid #ccc;
border-collapse: collapse;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
width: 100%;
table-layout: fixed;
}

margin: .5em 0 .75em;
