<p>Hi all --<br>
<br>
I'm trying to build a table using the Custom Tables module, v. 17.0. I have a 5-point Likert-type item and I'm crossing it with a Pre/Post variable. All variables are listed in the database with a nominal level of measurement, and Pre/Post is currently entered as a string variable.<br>
<br>
I want a table that looks like this:<br>
<br>
Pre Post<br>
Count Row% Count Row%<br>
SA <br>
A <br>
N <br>
SD<br>
<br>
<br>
When I try to make a table using Custom Tables, I get this:<br>
<br>
Pre Post Pre Post<br>
Count Row% Count Row% Count Row% Count Row%<br>
SA<br>
A<br>
N<br>
D<br>
SD<br>
<br>
The first set of Pre and Post columns have zero values all the way down. The second set of Pre and Post columns have the real values. When I run a frequencies or cross-tabs on my pre/post variable, there are only 2 values that come up.<br>
<br>
Now, if I recode Pre/Post into a Scale-level variable, change the level to nominal in the custom tables drop-down box, and then build the table, it comes out correctly. <br>
<br>
Can anyone explain why this might be happening?<br>
<br>
Thanks!<br>
