For select data , you must use ranges and select. You can try it:

let table = document.querySelector('#testTable');
let button = document.querySelector('#button');
function selectNode(node){
  let range  =  document.createRange();
  range.selectNodeContents(node)
  let select =  window.getSelection()
  select.removeAllRanges()
  select.addRange(range)
}
button.addEventListener('click',function(){
  selectNode(table);
  document.execCommand('copy')
  
})

td{
   border:1px solid black;
}

<table collapsed id = 'testTable'>
 <tr>
   <td>test</td>
    <td>test</td>
  </tr><tr>
   <td>test</td>
    <td>test</td>
  </tr>
</table>
<br/>
<button id = "button">select</button>
