sticky-table-colN: Make column N left sticky where N is a number from 1 to 2. Limit 1 to avoid stacking issues where a wider column 1 is still visible. Unpredictable results if the column spans or is spanned with the colspan attribute. Avoid making an excessively wide column sticky that might block too much data on narrow screens (ex. mobile ...

The three tables I have placed in columns (assuming a wide enough display) using {{Columns-start}}, which should responsively collapse for narrower displays (like phones).
Copy the table right off the page (not the wikitext) and paste it into Excel2Wiki. Remove the table caption text for now. Check the following boxes: format first row as header; format first column as header; Check or uncheck "sortable" depending on your needs. Then click "Convert".
