Here "corresponding to" means "matching," "agrees with," or "equivalent." So the number in the tab needs to <match>, or be the same as, the one on the column. It is common to use "corresponding" like this! Especially in technical settings or when dealing with documents and forms. Ex: Make sure your name on the form corresponds with the name on your ID. Ex: You need to find the taxi corresponding to the number plate on the app. Ex: This battery won't correspond with the required voltage.
