Subject:      2-way Frequecy table output

Hi, I'm wondering if there's a way to export a 2-way frenquency table output easily into Excel. In another word, what's the best way to take the output in the cross-tab format into Excel.

For example, if I have the following: TABLE OF X BY Y

X Y

Frequency‚female ‚male ‚ Total ƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒˆƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒˆƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒˆ a ‚ 1 ‚ 2 ‚ 3 ƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒˆƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒˆƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒˆ b ‚ 2 ‚ 1 ‚ 3 ƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒˆƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒˆƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒˆ c ‚ 2 ‚ 1 ‚ 3 ƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒˆƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒˆƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒˆ Total 5 4 9

If I save the original output into a txt file and then import it into Excel, I need to clean up the format quite a bit. If I add the out= option, the output data set turns into a different format:

1 a female 1 11.1111 2 a male 2 22.2222 3 b female 2 22.2222 4 b male 1 11.1111 5 c female 2 22.2222 6 c male 1 11.1111

Bottomline is that I need to present the results in a cross-tab format in Excel. When the distinct values for x and y are not too many, it's managable though time-consuming, but when there're tons of values for both variables, I don't know what to do then..

Please help!

Thanks -Diltilia
