Tabulation with no valueset
Posted: August 22nd, 2021, 10:27 am
We cannot produce a two way tabulation using variables with no valueset, although the Frequency tool (a one dimension table) can do that, using the "each value found".
Would it be possible to accept a no-valueset variable in the rows of a two way tabulation?
I need to tabulate a variable with 7 digits (county in my case), but I have only 300 possibilities.
Using the generate valueset feature in the data dictionary does no solve my problem because it generates fixed ranged values.
Can we have a new generate valueset feature that would generate valuesets according to an external file having the values we need in the valueset?
Or, on the other hand, is there any other possibility to cross this county variable (with 300 possible values) with other valuesetted variables?
As it is now I nee to write a small program to read my input file and generate the valueset commands and then merge them with the dictionary using any text editor.
