This new feature will save you hours of WinCross spec writing. Time spent creating simple jobs can be reduced to a fraction of their normal creation time. Using this feature WinCross evaluates your data structure and automatically creates tables to your preset specifications from the Properties settings..

“Auto Create” instantly creates tables for every qualifying variable.
“Step through” to create tables question by question:

IMPORTANT: When making changes to the Properties section any change made will impact tables created from that point forward. Previously created tables are NOT adjusted. 

Side by Side (VAR+) is a new user interface and modernized approach to creating a Side by Side comparison table without having to use VAR+ logic. Side by Side tables are also often referred to as a line table, grid table, or a product comparison table. Typically, the products or attributes span the columns, while the stubs are different rating scales. The new interface helps avoid any confusion and makes creating a Side by Side table as easy as a few clicks! Old school VAR+ tables are still supported and recommended for advance Side by Side comparisons involving complex logic. 

Located under Setup | Job Settings | Significance Footer Wording easily change the default wording for each significance footnote line. Unicode characters are supported and these fields can be left empty. 

Located under Setup | Job Settings | Small Sample Size easily change the default footnote text when small sample size has been applied. Unicode characters are supported.

New statistic option “GM” calculates the Geometric Mean. This option can be added as a table, row, or banner column option. The geometric mean is the average of a set of products, the calculation of which is commonly used to determine the performance results of an investment or portfolio. It is technically defined as "the nth root product of n numbers."

Additionally, there are new CALC commands that can be used in the glossary, or part of CALC statements.

Located under Run | Tables | Excel Options | Data Options control which table statistics to show for a specific run. Adjusting these settings does not adjust the job file and only affects the single run. For example, unchecking “Mean” will not remove the mean code from your tables. The mean rows will be removed from the output for only this single run. This can be very useful when running a custom set of tables with only specific values showing. 

Located under Run | Tables | Excel | Formatting Options easily suppress blank banner columns. This feature is very useful when dealing with filtered banners, or very large banners and only columns with data are desired. When selected, if a column is missing all data the column will be suppressed for the table. Large projects with wave banners where old waves are no longer needed can be hidden by suppressing blank columns. 

It can be very common for SPSS data files to balloon in size due to excessive string variable widths. String variables can easily be shortened using WinCross’s SPSS Sort Merge.
Located under Tools | Combine, Sort, and Merge SAVE Files | Merge… enter a desired N for the max string width. Reducing the string width will also improve overall performance.

Important:  Any data that exceeds the specified width will be lost. Variables that are already smaller than the specified width will not be changed. 

The maximum number of banner columns a single banner can contain has been increased to 500. The previous limit was 255 columns.

WinCross 25 is compatible with SPSS version 30. For compatibility with WinCross, we recommend saving files in SPSS using Locale (code page) encoding.
