tabulations
Data in columns
Tabulations are arrangements of data or information in columns and rows, making it easier to read, compare, and analyze.
The word comes from the verb tabulate, meaning to organize into a table format.
Election officials release vote tabulations; accountants prepare tabulations of expenses; researchers present their findings in careful tabulations.
Any systematic counting or compilation of figures may also be called a tabulation: The final tabulations showed a clear winner.
