Tabelliert

Tabelliert is the past participle form of the German verb tabellieren, meaning to arrange or present data in a table. It denotes the state or action of organizing information in rows and columns to improve clarity and comparability. The term is mainly used in scientific, technical, and data-processing contexts, where structured data presentation is essential.

Origin and forms: Tabellieren derives from the noun Tabelle (table). The related adjective and adverb form is tabellarisch. The process itself can also be described by the noun Tabellierung. In general usage, tabelliert and tabellarisch are used to indicate that data have been converted into a tabular format.

Usage and contexts: In reports, studies, and datasets, one might encounter phrases such as "Die Messdaten wurden tabelliert" or "Die Ergebnisse sind tabellarisch dargestellt." Tabellierte Daten are typically presented in tables with column headers, units, and footnotes. In practice, tables are produced with spreadsheet software, databases, or programming outputs, and then incorporated into manuscripts, publications, or websites.

Terminology and nuance: "Tabellarisch" describes the form of presentation (in tabular form), while "Tabellierung" refers to the process of creating a table. While synonyms exist (to tabulate, to present in a table), tabelliert is a specifically used participle indicating that the data have already been structured in a table. The term is widely understood in German-language technical writing.
