what do you call a table that contains counts of items which have 2 characteristic attributes represented by the rows and columns?

Question

What do we call a table that holds counts? A binning table? Frequency table? Unnormalized probability density table?

What if, instead of a table, it's just a list? And what if the table has more than two dimensions?

Would you be able to add a small sample to demonstrate exactly the sort of table you mean? — Hellion, Nov 15, 2014 at 20:36

I think you're looking for a technical term namely

Contingency table

or

cross tab

which is a table of counts of items described by the row and column labels.
