Definition
制表 is a verb-object compound (离合词) meaning 'to tabulate' or 'to compile a table or chart'. Like other 离合词, the verb 制 and object 表 can separate, allowing insertion of aspect markers, measure words, or modifiers between them — for example, 制了一个表 ('made a table'). It is typically used in data processing and office contexts.
