how to display a report in table format in the dashboard

After creating a search I have formatted the events into table format with only the fields I am interested on.
Then this search was saved as a report and added into the dashboard.
In the dashboard, instead of seen the same table, I see a list of event rows.

I am a new user, so what am I missing? My expectation is to
1. create a search
2. Format the search results into a table
3. Save as report
4. Add to the dashboard
Expecting the dashboard to show the same table formatted in step 2.

In the dashboard, click edit in the top right corner. Then click the visualization button in the top right corner of the report's panel and choose statistics table.

Thanks but once I selected the statistics table format it created a table with the event information in a single table called _raw rather than parsing the event fields into separate columns as I did in step 2 in which I was able to select the fields (columns) and move their order as well.
