+**TIP:** Input data must be TAB delimited. If the desired dataset does not appear in the input list, use *Text Manipulation-&gt;Convert* to convert it to **Tabular** type.
+
+-----
+
+**Syntax**
+
+This tools performs common operations (such as summing, counting, mean, standard-deviation) on input file, based on tabular data. The tool can also optionaly group the input based on a given field.
+
+-----
+
+**Example 1**
+
+- Find the average score in statistics course of college students, grouped by their college major. The input file has three fields (Name,Major,Score) and a header line::
+
+    Name        Major            Score
+    Bryan       Arts             68
+    Isaiah      Arts             80
+    Gabriel     Health-Medicine  100
+    Tysza       Business         92
+    Zackery     Engineering      54
+    ...
+    ...
+
+- Grouping the input by the second column (*Major*), and performing operations **mean** and **sample standard deviation** on the third column (*Score*), gives::
+
+    GroupBy(Major)     mean(Score)   sstdev(Score)
+    Arts               68.9474       10.4215
+    Business           87.3636       5.18214
+    Engineering        66.5385       19.8814
+    Health-Medicine    90.6154       9.22441
+    Life-Sciences      55.3333       20.606
+    Social-Sciences    60.2667       17.2273

+**Example 2**
+
+- Using the UCSC RefSeq Human Gene Track, available at: http://hgdownload.soe.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/hg38/database/refGene.txt.gz
+
+- List the number and identifiers of isoforms per gene. The gene identifier is in column 13, the isoform/transcript identifier is in column 2. Grouping by column 13 and performing **count** and **Combine all values** on column 2, gives::
+
+    GroupBy(field-13)     count(field-2)     collapse(field-2)
+    A1BG                  1                  NM_130786
+    A1BG-AS1              1                  NR_015380
+    A1CF                  6                  NM_001198818,NM_001198819,NM_001198820,NM_014576,NM_138932,NM_138933
+    A2M                   1                  NM_000014
+    A2M-AS1               1                  NR_026971
+    A2ML1                 2                  NM_001282424,NM_144670
+    ...
+
+- Count how many transcripts are listed for each chromosome and strand. Chromosome is on column 3, Strand is in column 4. Transcript identifiers are in column 2. Grouping by columns **3,4** and performing operation **count** on column 2, gives::
+
+    GroupBy(field-3)     GroupBy(field-4)     count(field-2)
+    chr1                 +                    2456
+    chr1                 -                    2431
+    chr2                 +                    1599
+    chr2                 -                    1419
+    chr3                 +                    1287
+    chr3                 -                    1249
