Column, Row, and Total Percentages

The example in the 2x2 tables topic demonstrates that in order to evaluate relationships between crosstabulated variables, we need to compare the proportions of marginal and individual column or row frequencies. Such comparisons are easiest to perform when the frequencies are presented as percentages. The Crosstabulation Tables dialog allows you to display the crosstabulated frequencies in spreadsheets along with counts, column percentages, row percentages, and total percentages; a combined summary table where each cell in the table contains all of those numbers can also be produced.
