    Hello,

    As new user of SPSS i have a question as follows:

    Suppose is given a dataset :

    Group Gender
    1 M
    1 M
    1 F
    1  
    2 F
    2 F
    2 F
    2 M

    In SAS , using proc freq; table Group*Gender/list missing; outputs the result in tabular form as follows:

    Group Gender Frequency Percent Cumulative
    Frequency    		 Cumulative
    Percent
    1   1 12.50 1 12.50
    1 F 1 12.50 2 25.00
    1 M 2 25.00 4 50.00
    2 F 3 37.50 7 87.50
    2 M 1 12.50 8 100.00

     

    I tried to achieve same result in SPSS using freq and crosstab method , but I could not:

     
    *1. 
        freq variables = Group  Gender.
    *2.
    crosstabs 
    /tables  =Group by Gender
    /MISSING = include.

    I would appreciate any help on this.

    First, make sure that the  measurement levels are set correctly (Data Editor > Variable View or the VARIABLE LEVEL command).  Then use CTABLES (Analyze > Tables > Custom Tables).

    Drag the variables to the  Row area; then click on Statistics and choose which ones you want.  You have many choices there.  You can also add a columns dimension if you want something more like a crosstab.

    Hi John,

    As i tried to follow your solution, l found out my license version does not include this option.

    Anyway, I appreciate your help.

    Thank you.

    Are you sure?  CTABLES is included in the Standard Edition.

    It is not included in the Analyze tab.

    I tried using the syntax:

    ctables
        / variables = Group  Gender.

    and it gives an error as:
    "There is no license for SPSS Custom Tables"

    Thank you.

    Run SHOW LIC from the syntax window to see what you are licensed for.  There is a stripped down BASE version, but my impression is that that isn't used very often.  It certainly would not be a good start on replacing SAS functionality.

    The CTABLES option is also available for licensing separately.

    This is what it shows:

    1. IBM SPSS Statistics
    2. IBM SPSS Data Preparation
    3. IBM SPSS Bootstrapping
    4. IBM SPSS Statistics Base

    Thank you.

    I see that you have the bare minimum, so you will need to upgrade to get CTABLES either by licensing just that option or getting the Standard Edition.--

    Hi John,
    Yes, it is true, it is related to license upgrade.

    Looks like i am going to bother very often with syntax question.

    Thank you.
