Additional context

Typst table reference
You don't need to specify any style. Styles will be applied from template style.
Just give the data like this:

#{
  table(
    columns: 4,
    [], [Exam 1], [Exam 2], [Exam 3],
    table.hline(),
    [John], [], a, [],
    table.hline(),
    [Mary], [], a, a,
    table.hline(),
    [Robert], b, a, b,
    table.hline(),
  )
}

OR:

#{
    // Sütun sayısını belirle [Determine the number of columns]
    let month-count = month-numbers.len()
  
    // Sayfa başlığı [Page title]
    heading(level: 1, translator(key: language-keys.WORK-SCHEDULE))
  
    // İş paketleri listesi [Work packages list]
    for (index, work-package) in work-packages.enumerate(start: 1) {
      [*#translator(key: language-keys.SHORT-WORK-PACKAGE) #index:* #work-package.description\ ]
    }
  
    // Tablo başlığındaki aylar [Months in the table header]
    let table-header-months = month-numbers.map(index => {
      [*#index*]
    })
  
    // Tablo hücreleri [Table cells]
    let table-cells = for (index, work-package) in work-packages.enumerate(start: 1) {
      (
        [*#translator(key: language-keys.SHORT-WORK-PACKAGE) #index*],
        ..month-numbers.map(month => {
          if work-package.months.contains(month) {
            table.cell(fill: rgb(166, 166, 166))[]
          } else {
            []
          }
        }),
      )
    }
  
    // Çalışma takvimi tablosu [Work schedule table]
    table(
      columns: (auto,) + ((1fr,) * month-count),
      align: center + horizon,
      table.header(
        table.cell(rowspan: 2)[*#translator(key: language-keys.SHORT-WORK-PACKAGE)\**],
        table.cell(colspan: month-count)[*#translator(key: language-keys.MONTHS)*],
        ..table-header-months,
      ), ..table-cells,
      table.footer(
        table.cell(
          colspan: month-count + 1,
          align: left,
          stroke: (
            left: 0pt,
            right: 0pt,
            bottom: 0pt,
          ),
        )[\*#translator(key: language-keys.SHORT-WORK-PACKAGE): #translator(key: language-keys.WORK-PACKAGE)],
      ),
    )
}

OR USE CSV: See Typst CSV Reference
Meaing provide CSV export for tables.

#{
  let results = csv("example.csv")
  
  table(
    columns: 2,
    [*Condition*], [*Result*],
    ..results.flatten(),
  )
  }

OR:

#{
  let tabledata= csv("example.csv")
  let table-headings = tabledata.first()
  let data = tabledata.slice(1).pop().flatten()
  let table-footer = tabledata.last()
  table(
    columns: 4,
    ..table-headings.map(x => [*x*]), // bold
    ..data,
    ..table-footer,
  )
}

I think this is one of those requests that is best handled by a contributor who is really interested in Typst. I did not know about Typst, but I checked it out and while it does look really cool, I am not sure that the particular functionality warrants the effort in implementation, given the limited number of students and researchers who are using Typst at the moment (please correct me if I am wrong). The copy-LaTeX functionality was first added by @akashrajkn I believe. It also seems to me that Typst can convert LaTeX tables? I did try out https://www.latex-tables.com/ and that seems to convert from LaTeX to Typst readily. Any LLM could probably do the same. So in light of the number of fish we still want to fry first, I am going to close this issue for now, and reopen it should there be compelling arguments to the contrary.

I don't know the numbers but I think it is gonna be the standart, but as you say, LLM and the converters could work too. But also if you provide an CSV export to table is also be enough and efficent.
