For your second sentence, I would suggest this:
'XXX', 'YYY' and 'ZZZ' are compared in this table.

For your third sentence, you could say something simlar:
This table compares 'XXX', 'YYY' and 'ZZZ'.

Your suggestion is pretty good for me, but if I want to point out 'I make' but 'not others make' this datasheet/table, here, how should I say ?
