Crosstabulation

Crosstabulation is a basic technique for examining the relationship between two categorical variables. For example, using Age category as a row variable and Gender as a column variable, you can create a two-dimensional crosstabulation that shows the number of males and females in each age category.

1. Open the table builder (Analyze menu, Tables, Custom Tables).
2. Click Reset to delete any previous selections in the table builder.
3. In the table builder, drag and drop Age category from the variable list to the Rows area on the canvas pane.
4. Drag and drop Gender from the variable list to the Columns area on the canvas pane. (You may have to scroll down through the variable list to find this variable.)
5. Click OK to create the table.
