1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data

I am writing a formal lab lab report. I have trouble with Appendix section.
I am going to put raw dat and sample calculation.
And my question is, do I have to number them?
For example,

APPENDIX
1. raw date(chart)
blah, blah blah...
2. sample calculation of Standard deviation
(My calculation of SD)

Or, can I just put them in my lab report without numbering?
For example,

Appendix

raw data

sample caculation


2. Relevant equations

nope!

3. The attempt at a solution
I looked for formal lab report guidelines which are plenty at internet, However, I could not find whether should I (number)label several things in appendix or not.

You may find useful links to discussions of writing formal laboratory reports in here:

As to the style of what you will include in your appendix, just do what you believe will make the appendix entries easier to read or easier to use; or however your instructor tells you.
