how to achieve this with CTABLES?
Thanks

I like to think that the PSPP manual documentation for CTABLES is
pretty good. It includes many examples. If there's anything missing
from it, let me know.

Thank you very much, Ben. Your solution looks far better. Though I
worked with CTABLES years ago, a steep re-learning curve rests.
Does PSPP intend to replace a specific version of SPSS CTABLES ?
Unfortunately , I did not find a good website (or book) for
self-learning CTABLES with syntax
CTABLES should work with TEMPORARY. I'm surprised that it doesn't. It
works for me with your data.

Hi,

Hi,

I can drag and drop an ordinal variable into the row axis, but no
variable into the column axis.
Bizarre.
Any ideas ?

Thanks for the report.
A width of 3 is enough to show one integer digit, a decimal point, and one
fractional digit, but not enough for two integer digits, a decimal point,
and one fractional digit. Use F4.1 or a wider format instead.

I guess that it should not be difficult to add support for rsvg, since it's
widely available on all the distributions I know of (including the flatpak

A flatpak is just for GNU/Linux. It is a convenient way to install a
piece of software.
You install PSPP in the usual way. The new version has CTABLES.

Great News - I'd long to see CTABLES in PSPP. If there is anything we can
do to assist you with this project give us a note.
For me Ronald's suggestion to opt for TABLES instead would be also alright,
if this is easier to implement.

The implementation of macros is a big project but I'd say that it's

I agree that the SPSS GUI for CTABLES is of not much use (at least in SPSS
17 the lastes that I used) .
I for myself would be contend if PSPP would support the code of CTABLES
(but not only TABLES as Frank oviously states).
So no integration into PSPPire but only into PSPP would be fine for me
of CTABLES spss currently has. I
used to use it on v10 SPSS in about 1990 and found it relatively
intuitive to use. I haven’t quite got into the same comfort zone I
used to be in back then as with the current version. I don’t know
why it would have been changed. Rather than PSPP simply
I work for a govt agency. They may not come up with money, but I could put an
argument that as they are currently paying about $2000 per year for an SPSS
licence a proportion of that may be a good investment.
Actually, I don’t like the version of CTABLES spss currently has. I used to
use it
additionally CTABLES should handle MRSETS like in this command
CTABLES
/VLABELS VARIABLES=$UmK display=none
/TABLE $UmK [COLPCT.COUNT PCT40.0]
by welle
/titles TITLE='Ungestützte Markenbekanntheit'
/CATEGORIES VARIABLES=$UmK EMPTY=EXCLUDE Order=a Key=count($umk)
/COMPARETEST
CTABLES is essentially a command that allows custom 'Pivot' tables to be
generated. An good example of its most common 'in the trenches' uses is below:
CTABLES
/FORMAT EMPTY=BLANK MISSING='.' MINCOLWIDTH=60 MAXCOLWIDTH=60 UNITS=POINTS
/SMISSING VARIABLE
So it seems there are an number of people who want CTABLES are prepared to pay
for it.
Not ever having actually used CTABLES, I don't know exactly what it is, and
what people
are expecting for their money.From the spss docs I see it is a big command
with lots
of options, but pe
I myself would be willing to throw $100 down to motivate someone to do CTABLES.
It is a very important feature and I think it would be a great coup for PSPP
in terms of penetration. For students and researchers alike it is invaluable,
especially when it comes to survey banner reports. Just
I don't need money.
It's fine to fund someone to implement CTABLES, but it can't be me.

So maybe we can motivate Ben a little. I would think about a kickstarter
campaign. I'd put in 500USD for a full CTABLES to get that off the ground.
I think that would also clear the way for using MRSETS in an easy way.
@Ben: would money help to motivate you?
