Which spreadsheet feature would provide a high-level summarized version of the data at the end of data cleansing?

Pivot tables give you a concise, high-level summary of your cleaned data by grouping values into categories and calculating aggregates like sums, averages, and counts. This makes it easy to see overall patterns, totals, and distributions without wading through every single row. You can quickly reorganize the rows and columns, apply filters, and drill into different segments to understand the dataset after cleansing. Charts visualize data but present a graphic summary rather than the underlying summarized numbers in a flexible, tabular form. Data validation controls what values can be entered, not how data is summarized. Conditional formatting highlights values based on rules, rather than producing a summarized view.
