Formed by regular nominalization of the verb 'tabulate' with '-ion', so the noun denotes the action/result of arranging data in a table.
Etymology
Tabulation comes from the Latin tabula, which means 'table' or 'list' and is the same root as the English word table. So a tabulation is making a 'table' of information, putting facts into rows and columns so patterns are easy to see.
