electronic spreadsheet
The specialised software for this is a 'spreadsheet', probably the most common such software these days is Microsoft Excel. Where most of the data is numbers, then it is best to use a spreadsheet. A database is also capable of doing these calculations, and if calculations are based on text, like you were counting how many different department names there are in a company, a database is better. Most word-processing software also allows a table of rows and columns to be defined in a document and the same sort of calculations can then be carried out within the table, though this would be rarely used for anything more than very simple calculations, and most word processor users would not even be aware that you can do calculations in a word processing table.
