UPCOMING WEBINAR: Faster (and better) survey analysis This article describes how to create a summary table for every question in the data set (excluding any that are marked as hidden). This is a great way to Check Your Data and review your Variable Sets.
Summary tables can contain multiple statistics, such as both percentages and counts, and they can also be one or two-dimensional in terms of the data that they represent (this is determined by the Variable Set Structure).
Requirements
- A Displayr document with a data set containing case-level data. If you have tables already calculated/aggregated, you can see How to Import Excel Tables into Displayr for how to import those and use them to create tables on the page.
Method
- OPTIONAL: If you have multiple data sets in your document, select the data set that you wish to create summary tables for in the Data Sources tree.
- Go to any of the following menu options:
- Anything
> Report > Summary Tables
- Table
> Report > Summary Tables
- Anything
- A new folder will be inserted at the bottom of the Reports tree containing summary tables of each question in the data set:

- The selections in the Data and Appearance sections of the Object Inspector on the right of the screen:
- The data.
- The statistics.
- Filter(s) (see How to Apply a Filter).
