SPSS Tables

Clearly report your results to the people
who can use them

Once you've completed analysis, you usually need to summarize results so non-technical audiences can understand them. Survey or market researchers can use the recently enhanced SPSS Tables, an SPSS add-on module for the reporting stage, to display results in a tabular format. SPSS Tables provides frequently requested features such as an interactive table preview builder, category management capabilities, inferential statistics and easy deployment to Microsoft Word or Excel.

SPSS Tables' special capabilities for survey analysis give you what's needed to report surveys, customer satisfaction and polling results. And SPSS Tables' speed and production facilities make it ideal for compliance reporting. SPSS Tables enables you to transform massive amounts of case data into readable and understandable condensed information, so you can better understand your customers and citizens. When using SPSS Tables, you can easily print results, publish them to the Web using SmartViewer Web Server for deployment or export them to Word or Excel for reports and presentations.

Know what your tables will look like, as you create them.

Create tables more easily using the interactive interface in SPSS Tables. Just click and drag your variables into the table preview builder. You don't have to write complicated syntax or struggle with unwieldy dialog boxes, and you can immediately see what your table will look like. The preview pane works like a canvas that shows the basic table layout while you specify or modify a table. You can easily move variables from row to column, collapse large complex tables for a more concise view and see categories of variables while working with them and before putting them in tables. Because it shows you the arrangement of variables (e.g., dimensions, stacking or nesting), categories of each variable and requested statistics, you can see what your table will look like before clicking "OK." This enables you to confirm your table's appearance or edit it before producing output saving you time, especially when working with more complex tables.

Get your tables right the first time using the intuitive table preview builder. This feature is just one of many you'll enjoy in the all-new SPSS Tables add-on module, whether you're a long-time user or a new user. (Click the image to enlarge.)

Create production tables - fast

Create a variety of complicated table structures in a production setting - and quickly create production tables for presentations and publications. You can also create compliance reports which may need updating on a regular basis, quickly and easily. And depending on your data file, SPSS Tables 13.0 can run up to 40 percent faster than SPSS Tables 11.0 and earlier versions. Learn more in the benchmark test results.

Have what's needed for presenting tabular results

SPSS Tables enables you to summarize and communicate results in any tabular form, including complex stub-and-banner tables, contingency tables, and display listing of survey data. This add-on module includes special capabilities for survey analysis, such as layering, nesting, stacking, and multiple response analysis, so you can generate reports on surveys, customer satisfaction, and polling results. For instance, market researchers can condense the results of multiple-response questions, such as answers to "check all that apply," into a single table to make it easy to present this information. SPSS Tables also distinguishes between the different types of missing values, such as "do not know," "didn't answer," "not applicable," "refused to answer," or any other missing value you specify. This enables report readers to see the full picture in regards to the type of responses you receive.

Category management capabilities enable you to exclude specific categories, display missing cell values and add subtotals to your table. There are more sorting options in SPSS Tables 13.0 than in SPSS Tables 11.0 and earlier versions.

If you update reports on a regular basis, SPSS Tables is the ideal tool to recalculate and reformat new tables with revised data.

Using SPSS Tables, you can work easily with your multiple response data. You can select the percentage to be calculated within respondents as shown here or within responses so the rows and columns add to 100 percent. In this example, it is easy to read across the rows to see of those who flew American, 25 percent also flew JAL, and of those who flew JAL, 75 percent also flew American.

You'll find it easy to compress large amounts of data into meaningful reports with the stacking and nesting facilities in SPSS Tables. You can nest variables to any level in all dimensions (rows, columns or layers).
