SPSS Tables Reporting
Easily and effectively present tabular results
Expand SPSS Base's capabilities with SPSS Tables. Ensure your audience, which many times includes people who aren't technically savvy, understands and can use your results when you create tabular
reports in SPSS Tables, an SPSS add-on module. The recently enhanced SPSS Tables provides frequently requested features and capabilities. And, SPSS Tables easily plugs into SPSS Base
ensuring you can work seamlessly in the SPSS environment.
Take the guesswork out of table building
The interactive table preview builder in the interface enables you to know what your tables look like as you create them. 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."

You can easily see what your table will look like as you create it in the table preview builder.
Here, the user placed "Jazz Music," broken down by the degrees in which people like jazz music, in the rows and the "Region," broken down by specific location, in the column. The user also has
added a layer of "Homeowner" to the table. The Homeowner layer will result in three tables: Homeowner, Renter, and Total. (Click the image to enlarge.)
Gain more control over output for improved presentation
Category management improvements such as the ability to display or exclude categories with no counts, enables you to more easily customize tables
structures for polished and professional-looking reports. For example, you can combine several categories into a single category for top-box or bottom-box
analysis. You can also add subtotals, sort and rank categories based on cell values, change variable types or exclude categories from your table, as you create your tables, to present data more effectively.
Export tables with ease
SPSS Tables results are produced as SPSS pivot tables so your audience can explore results more easily. And because tables are saved as pivot tables, you
can export them to Microsoft Word or Excel in the same way that you can export pivot tables created in SPSS Base. All table formatting is now
maintained when you export pivot tables - no additional table editing is needed in Word or Excel. This improves your workflow and makes it easier to get results to those who need them.
Get in-depth analysis in your tables
Add greater value and insight when working with tables when using inferential statistics, sometimes called significance testing. You can highlight
opportunities or problem areas by adding inferential statistics to your table. This empowers you to easily compare means or proportions for demographic
groups, customer segments, time periods or other categorical variables. You can also identify trends, changes or major differences in your data.
For example, a researcher in a government agency might create tables showing each region her agency covers and the job satisfaction levels associated with each region. She notices that there might be a relationship
between people who are very satisfied with their jobs and the region in which they live. To determine if this relationship exists, she uses a Chi-square test
and decides to use a 95 percent confidence level for her analysis. Knowing that this confidence level is high, the agency further studies the correlation between happiness on the job and region.
Using inferential statistics is a way that you can work in the data analysis stage of the analytical process to identify groups. And because your end result
is a tabular report, it's easy to share your results with others.
Inferential statistics in SPSS Tables include Chi-square tests, column proportions tests and pairwise comparison of means. The ability to add inferential statistics in your tables truly separates SPSS Tables
from standard reporting tools and in SPSS Tables 11.0 and earlier versions of this add-on module.
As with versions prior to SPSS Tables 11.0, you can also select from a variety of summary statistics in this version. Choose from summary statistics such as:
- Count
- Count row %
- Valid N row %
- Valid N column %
- Maximum
- Mean
- Median
- Minimum
- Mode
- Percentile 05
- Percentile 25
- Percentile 75
- Percentile 95
- Percentile 99
- Range
- Sum layer %
- Sum table row %
- Sum table column %
- And many more
You can determine if you want to include summary statistics for rows or columns, decide the variables to include or choose the types of statistics to calculate.
With SPSS Tables, you can choose from a variety of summary statistics and link multiple tables together. In this example, four statistics are calculated and
the number of children and gender tables are combined.
Polish your reports with formatting tools
SPSS Tables gives you all the formatting tools you need for completing your reports. For example, you can:
- Specify minimum and maximum column widths for individual tables during table creation.
- Automate titling in the user interface or syntax.
- Display or exclude categories with no counts for clearer, more concise output.
- Select from 16 pre-formatted styles in TableLooks (found within SPSS Base) or create your own styles. Through SPSS Base, you can also
add boldface lines; draw lines; align left, right, or center; specify titles and footnotes.
More easily work with syntax- especially when creating large production jobs
Like many SPSS Tables users, you're likely to use syntax commands so you can easily rerun tables with new data. Syntax in SPSS Tables uses a more natural language than in SPSS 11.0
and earlier versions, so it's easier to understand. This improved command syntax makes it easier to edits tables in a production environment and gives you more flexibility if you want to run many
tables at once. Syntax created in previous versions of SPSS Tables is still usable, however. To take advantage of features such as inferential statistics in SPSS 12.0
, simply use the included syntax converter to translate the original syntax to the new command syntax.
