Available data

This lists data structures appropriate to the current input field. The contents will change as you move from one field to the next, displaying either variates or factors. Double-click a name to copy it to the current input field or type the name.

Variate

Specifies a variate containing the data values.

Groups

The groups are specified by one or more factors, each of which must have the same length as the data variate. You can transfer multiple selections from Available data by holding the Ctrl key on your keyboard while selecting items, then click to move them all across in one action.

Weights

A variate specifying weights to be used in the tabulation.

Display table as percentage of margin

This allows the body of the table to be expressed as percentages of the corresponding values of the selected margin. The margin to be used as the denominator can be chosen by selecting the required factor from the dropdown list.

Set margin

Specifies whether the tables should include margins (summaries over all levels of each factor).

Specifies a list of percentage points for which quantiles will be calculated. You can also supply the name of a variate containing the required values.

Graphics

Opens a dialog which can be used to plot the table currently specified by the factors in the Graphics list.

Multiple-response tables

Displays two additional options for producing summaries of tables classified by multiple-response factors.

Pointers to factors defining multiple responses

A pointer to factors defining multiple responses in the table. You can form a pointer to factors for a multiple-response table using the form multiple-response factors menu.

Names for factors to index multiple-responses

Genstat generates an ordinary factor to classify each dimension of the table corresponding to multiple responses. You can specify names for these factors in the space provided.

Action buttons

Run	Run tabulation of groups.
Cancel	Close the dialog without further changes.
Defaults	Reset options to the default settings. Clicking the right mouse on this button produces a shortcut menu where you can choose to set the options using the currently stored defaults or the Genstat default settings.
Store	Opens a dialog to specify names of structures to store the results from the tabulation. The names to save the structures should be supplied before running the tabulation.
