CTables

Title: CTables

I did not answer because I've had a nasty cold for two weeks, but it IS important to me to have CTables. It's practically a unique feature.

For survey work, I frequently need to use Tables. Usually the syntax, which by the way were suggested to me by an SPSS rep in the days when SPSS was written by experts in Chicago and customer service was a company hallmark, are like these:

TABLES  /FORMAT ZERO MISSING('.') /FTOTAL=T 'Total' /TABLES

  q1_a_1+q1_a_2+q1_a_3+[etc]  by peer by q65

        /statistics  count ().

Or (one thing by another thing: know by advise)

TABLES
  /FORMAT BLANK MISSING('.')
  /TABLES know
  BY advise > (STATISTICS)
  /STATISTICS
  cpct( ( PCT5.1 ) 'Row %':know).

Or very simple tables -- e.g. a listing of items by counts and percentages:

TABLES
  /FORMAT BLANK MISSING('.') /TABLES

  (f1+f2+f3+f4[etc]) BY

  (LABELS) > (STATISTICS)
  /STATISTICS
   COUNT() CPCT ((PCT7.0) '%' )  /TITLE  'All Respondents'.

similarly:

TABLES
  /FORMAT BLANK MISSING('.') /TABLES
  ( q21a+q21b+q21c+q21d+q21e+q21f+q21g+q21h ) by (label)
  /STATISTICS
    COUNT () .

Also similarly:

TABLES
  /FORMAT ZERO MISSING('.') /FTOTAL=T 'Total' /TABLES

  f1+f2+f3+f4+F5[etc] by f213

        /statistics count cpct(F213:F213).
