Each view displays: Name, Count (# of transactions), Total (amount spent)

**Columns displayed:**
44+
- **Name, Count, Total** (all aggregate views)
45+
- **Top Category** (Merchant view only) - Shows the most common category for each merchant with percentage (e.g., "Groceries 90%"). This helps identify categorization patterns and spot miscategorized transactions.

!!! tip "Top Category Column"
48+
The Top Category column in Merchant view shows at a glance whether a merchant is properly categorized:
49+
50+
- **100%** = All transactions use the same category (consistent)
51+
- **85%** = Mostly one category (likely correct)
52+
- **60%** = Mixed categorization (may need cleanup)
53+
54+
Example: "Whole Foods → Groceries 95%" confirms most purchases are correctly categorized.
