SPSS® 12.0 Command Syntax Reference

ADJUST= {BONFERRONI} ORIGIN=COLUMN
{NONE }
Row, column, and layer elements each have the general form
varname {[C]} [summary ‘label’ format...] {+} varname ...
{[S]} {>}
When nesting (>) and concatenation (+) are combined, as in a + b > c, nesting occurs before
concatenation; parentheses can be used to change precedence, as in (a + b) > c.

Overview
The Custom Tables procedure produces tables in one, two, or three dimensions and provides
a great deal of flexibility for organizing and displaying the contents.
• In each dimension (row, column, and layer), you can stack multiple variables to concatenate
tables and nest variables to create subtables. See the TABLE subcommand.
• You can let Custom Tables determine summary statistics according to the measurement
level in the dictionary, or you can assign one or more summaries to specific variables and
override the measurement level without altering the dictionary. See the TABLE
subcommand.
