Hi David,

I became especially interested in this post because I have just been teaching Tables this week. I am convinced that in its current form, this is not possible. You can not have scale variables in both the row and column dimension. There is nothing in base that would let you do this either.

You will have to transform the variables so that all the colors, etc. are in one column with a new variable for brand next to it, or vice versa. Once you do so, it should be pretty simple. Sorry for the rearranging, but I hope this helps. If you don't have tables, you might want to reply to this post to that effect, but it you rearrange it you should be able to work it out.
