tabelloppføring

Tabelloppføring is a term used to describe a single entry or row in a tabular presentation of data, typically in Norwegian-language contexts. It refers to the collection of values that correspond to the columns of a table for a particular entity, event, or observation. In relational databases, a tabelloppføring is essentially a row, while the columns define the attributes (fields) of that row. In spreadsheets and other tabular formats, a tabelloppføring is one line of data aligned with the column headers.

A tabelloppføring should be uniquely identifiable, often via a primary key or unique identifier, and may participate in relationships with other data through foreign keys or references. Each value in a tabelloppføring has a defined data type and meaning within the table’s context, and the integrity of a tabelloppføring is maintained through constraints such as not-null requirements, valid ranges, and referential integrity.

Purposes include organizing data for filtering, sorting, and aggregation; supporting analysis; and enabling reproducibility and traceability in reports or publications. When tables are used to present results, each tabelloppføring corresponds to a distinct item, subject, or observation.

Common issues involve inconsistent data types across rows, missing or ambiguous values, and duplicate entries for keys that should be unique. Clear column definitions and documentation help ensure that tabelloppføringer are interpreted correctly and can be compared across datasets.
