There is no interest from the developers to do this. A while back someone even offered to put down $500 of their own money and others volunteered a few hundred each on top to bring this about but it was stated that there is no interest from the developers to implement this functionality. Which is kind of weird because CTABLES is the key reason why the Canadian government uses SPSS at CRA and a few other departments. For their stats stuff they typically use R or Stata.

However, the maintainers seem to be more interested in statistics than plain old tabulation. Has anyone an idea how to implement even a stripped down version of CTABLES?
