Introduction to Tabulation

Tabulation applications in CSPro allow you to tabulate data quickly and easily, producing basic frequency distributions and complex cross-tabulations from one or more data files. The only requirements are that:
  • All the data files to be used in a single run share the same format
  • A data dictionary exists that describes the data file(s)
When you create your application, you can use an existing data dictionary or you may create one as you create the application. You can produce most tables by way of the menu-driven, point-and-click, drag-and-drop interface, i.e., without using the CSPro programming language. The procedural language is available for the most complex kinds of tables.
