tabulation
Organizing into columns
Tabulation is the act of arranging information into tables or columns, or the result of that arrangement.
Data gets tabulated to make patterns visible and comparisons easier: The tabulation of survey results took several hours.
In elections, tabulation refers specifically to vote counting: The final tabulation showed a narrow margin.
