By default, only Variable Sets with Nominal, Binary-Multi, Binary-Multi (Compact), Ordinal, or Date/Time structures can be dragged to the banner palette. If it is in another format, such as Binary-Multi grid with unordered categories, when you are creating your banner, it won't show up in the list of variables eligible for inclusion in the banner.
