Remember to import the MatTableModule module and remove the table element show below for reference.
wrong implementation
<table mat-table [dataSource]=”myDataArray”> ... </table>
correct implementation:
<mat-table [dataSource]="myDataArray"> </mat-table>

Material example is using the wrong table tags  Change   lt table mat-table gt  lt  table gt   lt th mat-header-cell gt  lt  th gt   lt td mat-cell gt  lt  td gt    lt tr mat-header-row gt  lt  tr gt   lt tr mat-row gt  lt  tr gt    to   lt mat-table gt  lt  mat-table gt   lt mat-header-cell gt  lt  mat-header-cell gt   lt mat-cell gt  lt  mat-cell gt    lt mat-header-row gt  lt   lt mat-header-row gt   lt mat-row gt  lt   lt mat-row gt

Remember to add MatTableModule in your app module s imports i e   In Angular 9   import   MatTableModule   from   angular material table      NgModule     imports                   MatTableModule                     Less than Angular 9  import   MatTableModule   from   angular material      NgModule     imports                   MatTableModule

if your  import   MatTableModule   from   angular material    is on a shared module  make sure you export it   sharedmodule ts   import   MatTableModule   from   angular material     NgModule     imports                   MatTableModule                   exports   MatTableModule        then on your custom module where you define the component that use material table   custommodule ts    NgModule   imports    sharedmodule

For Angular 7  Check where is your table component located   In my case it was located like app shared tablecomponent where shared folder contains all sub components But I was importing material module in Ngmodules of  app module ts which was incorrect   In this case Material module should be imported in Ngmodules of shared module ts  And it works    There is NO NEED to change  table  to  mat-table  in angular 7   Angular7 - Can  39 t bind to   39 dataSource  39  since it isn  39 t a known property of   39 mat-table  39

If you ve tried everything mentioned here and it didn t work  make sure you also have added angular material to your project  If not  just run the following command in the terminal to add it  ng add  angular material  After it successfully gets added  wait for the project to get refreshed  and the error will be automatically gone

I was also breaking my head for a long time with this error message and later I identified that I was using  datasource  instead of  dataSource

Please see your dataSource varibale doesn t get the data from the server or dataSource is not assigned to the expected format of data

[angular] Can't bind to 'dataSource' since it isn't a known property of 'table'
