Estimating Table Sizes

Is it possible to write a query that can estimate the space a table is
using in the database? I would like to be able to generate a report
that can display the amount of disk space a table is consuming.How about using sp_spaceused?

Go to the specific database and execute the below command to get the space
usage for all tables individually.
EXEC sp_MSForEachTable 'EXEC sp_spaceused [?]';
Thanks

Make sure you run DBCC UPDATEUSAGE on the database before you run
sp_spaceused
Reports and corrects inaccuracies in the sysindexes table, which may
result in incorrect space usage reports by the sp_spaceused system
stored procedure.

Thank you all for these suggestions. This is exactly what I am
looking for. I was not clear on my initial request but the
MSforeachtable stored procedure was exactly what I was looking for.
