CTABLES should work with TEMPORARY. I'm surprised that it doesn't. It
works for me with your data.
Here is how to get the totals column. There might be a way to get a %
Total row too; I didn't have time to figure it out.
set /tnumbers labels.
temp.
recode d60 (7=3)./* missing =7 recoded into almost never or never = 3 .
CTABLES
/WEIGHT VARIABLE W1
/VLABELS VARIABLES qa1a_1 DISPLAY LABEL
/TABLE qa1a_1 [ROWPCT PCT5.0, TOTALS[COUNT]] by d60
/TITLES TITLE "Situation of country & respondent by individual
economic difficulties" CORNER "Row %"
/CATEGORIES VARIABLES d60 EMPTY=EXCLUDE TOTAL=YES POSITION AFTER
/CATEGORIES VARIABLES qa1a_1 EMPTY=EXCLUDE POSITION AFTER .
With this, I get:
Situation of country & respondent by individual
economic difficulties
