Run|Tables

 

Run|Tables lets you combine banners and tables, check syntax, set some report options and run tables. You must open your data file before you can run tables using File|Open|Open Data, however, there are options to run tables without data so that you can check the table layout and run a syntax check on your logic.

 

You can run tables even if you have not created banners. You can also run tables without selecting a banner when banners do exist. A default banner with a single total column automatically runs against the tables.

 

You can double-click on a single table in the tables list to run a quick report. If a single banner is selected for that table, the table will be processed with that banner. If multiple banners have been selected for that table, the table will be processed with those banners. If no banner was selected, the table will be processed with a single total column.

Report viewing formats

Data transformations applied

WinCross provides a status for reports indicating whether the banners/tables processed were weighted and if glossary transformations were applied. You can click on the Data transformations applied status to open the Report Log where banner weighting and Glossary information is provided.

 

Run Filter

IMPORTANT: When a Run Filter has been specified and the Run Filter is active check box is selected, the Run Filter will be applied to all subsequent processing of tables, frequencies and/or marginals. For example, if you add a Run Filter to your table processing using Run|Tables and then select Run|Frequency, the Run Filter check box will be selected because the Run Filter is still active. To remove the Run Filter, deselect the Run Filter is active check box on the Run Filter dialog.
