Hi Matt
the code Vishal refers to is for costom tables only, that are part of SPSS
since (I think) version 11.
For formating your numbers in the classic table command use somthing like
the following code snip.

DATA LIST LIST /Gender YourVar.
BEGIN DATA
1 11
2 22
1 33
2 11
1 44
2 55
1 44
2 33
END DATA.

* with various decimal places in differnt rows.
TABLES
  /OBSERVATION= YourVar
 /TABLE= YourVar
       BY  GENDER
 /title 'Your title'
 /STATISTICS
   count(YourVar( F5.0 )'N.')
   mean(YourVar(F5.2 )'Mean')
   median(YourVar(F5.1 )'Median')
   stddev(YourVar(F5.3 )'Standart deviation').


* with five decimal places for each row.
TABLES
  /OBSERVATION= YourVar
 /TABLE= YourVar
       BY  GENDER
 /title 'Your title'
 /STATISTICS
   count(YourVar( F8.5 )'N.')
   mean(YourVar(F8.5 )'Mean')
   median(YourVar(F8.5 )'Median')
   stddev(YourVar(F8.5)'Standart deviation').


Hope this helps.

Vishal,

That doesn't seem to be working.  It doesn't like the bracket.  Says
that it is unexpected text.

I am trying to do this in the summary function.  I'm creating a large
number of tables and it would be a great time saver if I didn't have to
go and manually edit all of them.

Any other ideas?

Thanks
Matt
