Yes, but I'm still updating my tutorials from 1992 and that means learning even more complex syntax.  Absolute beginners won't go for it, but they might once they're reasonably fluent in the basic stuff.  I still think

freq <varlist> /cel <content list> .

would be more intuitive and easier to understand.

  No.

  You have to open a pivot table by double-clicking the output and then delete
  the column, or copy it to Word and then delete it.  Sometimes you have to
  drag the right hand edge away as well to get the variables on a single line.
  It's pain in the backside as someone just said about OLAP cubes, whatever
  they are.  I've frequently asked for the FREQUENCIES command to be enhanced
  by adding keywords for  count, percent, valid and cumul, à la CROSSTABS eg:

  freq <varlist> /cel cou val .

  . . . but no-one's listening, or else they send complex macro or Python
  solutions. 
  >>>What's so hard about this? 
  CTABLES 
    /TABLE x [COUNT COLPCT] 
    /CATEGORIES VARIABLES=x TOTAL=YES. 

  or this? 
  FREQ x. 
  SPSSINC MODIFY TABLES subtype="Frequencies" 
  SELECT=-1 -2 HIDE=TRUE.

  Is there a simple way to do this?
