Scan variables into a single table (ExpressTabs)

The Scan variables into a single table option of ExpressTabs provides a way to create one table from multiple variables using Scan (S) logic when variables selected are contiguous and using the OR logical operator when variables selected are not contiguous.

One table is created from the variable(s) selected.
The selected variables must all have the same number of code values and their code values and value labels must match.
Value labels from the data file for Variables for rows selected are used as row text.
Value labels from the data file for Variables for banner columns selected are used as banner text.
The variable label from the data file for the first Variables for rows selected is used as the table title, displayed to the left of the row text.
The variable labels from the data file for Variables for banner columns selected are used as the banner text spanning all banner columns for that variable.
Contiguous variables can be selected by using the Shift key or by dragging the mouse down until all desired variables are selected.
Non-contiguous variables can be selected by using the Ctrl key when selecting variables from the list of Variable for rows.
If a column variable is not selected, row variables are processed using a "Total Answering" column.
If you are selecting a group of non-contiguous variables and do not want tables processed immediately as you select variables, deselect the Auto-run tables each time a variable is selected option and choose the Run Tables option once all row and column variables have been selected.
