I've encountered an interesting issue in Custom Tables.  I have several variables, most with 5-point scales and one with a 6-point scale.  For all these variables I want to display a Top2 Box score in my table (in addition to the full distribution).

I created Top2 Box scores for all the variables in the Categories and Totals section of Custom Tables.  When I create a table with just the 6-point variable, it accurately calculates the Top2 Box score.  But when I create a table that has all the variables, the Top2 Box score for the 6-point variable is wrong.  In this situation, it seems to be calculating using 5+4 rather than 6+5.

My first thought was that it's trying for some kind of consistency across all the variables, so it's assuming Top2 Box should be 5+4 for all of them.  But then I tried doing the same thing with a different dataset that is structured the same way, and I could not recreate the error.

Has anyone else experienced similar issues?  Or have any insight?

Thanks
