TABLES Subcommand (MULT RESPONSE command)

TABLES specifies the crosstabulations to be produced by MULT RESPONSE. Both individual variables and group variables can be tabulated together.

• The first list defines the rows of the tables; the next list (following BY) defines the columns. Subsequent lists following BY keywords define control variables, which produce subtables. Use the keyword BY to separate the dimensions. You can specify up to five dimensions (four BY keywords) for a table.
• To produce more than one table, name one or more variables for each dimension of the tables. You can also specify multiple table lists separated by a slash. If you use the keyword TO to imply a set of group or individual variables, TO refers to the order in which groups or variables are specified on the GROUPS or VARIABLES subcommand.
• If FREQUENCIES is also specified, TABLES follows FREQUENCIES.
• The value labels for columns are displayed on three lines with eight characters per line. To avoid splitting words, reverse the row and column variables, or redefine the variable or value labels (depending on whether the variables are multiple-dichotomy or multiple-response variables).

Example

MULT RESPONSE  GROUPS=MAGS 'MAGAZINES READ' (TIME TO STONE (2))
   /VARIABLES=EDUC (1,3)/TABLES=EDUC BY MAGS. 

• The TABLES subcommand requests a crosstabulation of variable EDUC by the multiple-dichotomy group MAGS.

Example

MULT RESPONSE  GROUPS=MAGS 'MAGAZINES READ' (TIME TO STONE (2))
   MEMS 'SOCIAL ORGANIZATION MEMBERSHIPS' (VFW AMLEG ELKS (1))
   /VARIABLES EDUC (1,3)/TABLES=MEMS MAGS BY EDUC. 

• The TABLES subcommand specifies two crosstabulations—MEMS by EDUC and MAGS by EDUC.

Example

MULT RESPONSE  GROUPS=MAGS 'MAGAZINES READ' (TIME TO STONE (2))
   /VARIABLES SEX (1,2) EDUC (1,3)
   /TABLES=MAGS BY EDUC SEX/EDUC BY SEX/MAGS BY EDUC BY SEX.

• The TABLES subcommand uses slashes to separate three table lists. It produces two tables from the first table list (MAGS by EDUC and MAGS by SEX) and one table from the second table list (EDUC by SEX). The third table list produces separate tables for each sex (MAGS by EDUC for male and for female).

Example

MULT RESPONSE  GROUPS=MAGS 'MAGAZINES READ' (TIME TO STONE (2))
   PROBS 'NATIONAL PROBLEMS MENTIONED' (PROB1 TO PROB3 (1,9))
   /TABLES=MAGS BY PROBS. 

• The TABLES subcommand requests a crosstabulation of the multiple-dichotomy group MAGS with the multiple-response group PROBS.
