Nested Crosstabulation

A nested table can contain other variables in other dimensions. For example, you could nest Age category within Gender in the rows and crosstabulate the nested rows with a third variable in the column dimension.

1. Open the table builder (Analyze menu, Tables, Custom Tables).
2. If Age category isn't already nested within Gender in the rows, follow the directions in the previous example for nesting them.
3. Drag and drop Get news from internet from the variable list to the Columns area on the canvas pane.

   You may notice that the table is too large to display completely on the canvas pane. You can scroll up/down or right/left on the canvas pane to see more of the table preview, or you can:

   • Click Compact in the table builder to see a compact view. This displays only the variable labels, without any information on categories or summary statistics included in the table.
   • Increase the size of the table builder by clicking and dragging any of the sides or corners of the table builder.
4. Click OK to create the table.
