Define Your Table

• Multiple row or column variables can be nested (the default) or concatenated.
• When a page variable is requested, a separate table is created for each value of the page variable.
• When a page variable is requested, there MUST be at least one row variable, column variable, or both.
• If a page variable is requested but no row variable, the page variable will be displayed as a row variable, not a page variable.
• If a page variable is requested but no column variable, the page variable WILL be treated as a page variable.
• When there are no observations for a particular value for all rows (or columns), then the column (or row) will not appear in the table. It will NOT appear with all zeros.

  For example, if you want a sex by age table for Iowa and the "NHOPI alone" (Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander) race subset, you select age ranges of 10-11, 12-13, 14-14, and 15-65, and there are no 14-year-olds of either sex (for this subset) on the CPS data file, you will NOT get a column for 14-year-olds with zero values, the column for 14-year-olds will simply not appear in the table.
