tabulate

Put in columns

To tabulate is to arrange information in a table or systematic format—organizing data into rows and columns for easier comparison or analysis: She tabulated the survey results.

The word also means to count or record systematically: Volunteers tabulated the votes.

Tabulation makes patterns visible that raw data obscures.
