Flutter DataTable render error: Right overflowed by 7.5 pixels-CodePudding

I am trying to build an Android app in my college project but in faculty info, I am getting an error, like A RenderFlex overflowed by 7.5 pixels on the right.

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';

class Faculty extends StatefulWidget {
  const Faculty({Key? key}) : super(key: key);

  @override
  _FacultyState createState() => _FacultyState();
}

class _FacultyState extends State<Faculty> {
  final style = const TextStyle(fontFamily: 'Montserrat', fontSize: 20.0);

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Scaffold(
      appBar: AppBar(
        title: const Text('Faculty Info'),
        backgroundColor: const Color(0xff01A0C7),
      ),
      body: ListView(
        children: <Widget>[
          const SizedBox(height: 35),
          const Center(
            child: Text(
              'Faculty-Chart',
              style: TextStyle(fontSize: 25, fontWeight: FontWeight.bold),
            ),
          ),
          DataTable(
            columns: const [

This is my code and I am getting an error about pixel overflow. When I try to solve this error by using SingleChildScrollView, new errors are occurring.

Wrap the DataTable widget with SingleChildScrollView then set the scroll direction to horizontal scrollDirection: Axis.horizontal

Two solutions that will work: Either wrap your DataTable with a SingleChildScrollView and set the scrollDirection to Axis.horizontal:

SingleChildScrollView(
                scrollDirection: Axis.horizontal,
                child: DataTable(
                  columns: [

Or set a fixed columnSpacing:

         DataTable(
            columnSpacing: 10,
            columns: [
