1) I make a comparison between 'XXX' and 'YYY' in this datasheet/table.
2) I make a comparison among 'XXX' and 'YYY' and 'ZZZ' and ... in this datasheet/table.
3) This is a comparison datasheet/table

.
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 ?
