SPSS tutorials for beginners PART 4 - Using descriptive statistics, frequencies & crosstabs

In this SPSS tutorial for beginners, I will teach you how to generate your first output by using the descriptive statistics, frequencies and crosstabs menus. We will both be using these menu's, but also using syntax as I showed you in my previous tutorial.

These video's might also be of interest:

Firstly thanks for these great tutorials. I am a complete beginner with SPSS (and it's been a long time since I thought about stats at uni!) and am finding them really accessible and informative.
Quick question for you - sure it's a pretty basic one so apologies in advance....when you are analysing data and specifically comparing groups using crosstabs, how do you decide which category goes in the "row" and which in the "column"?
Thanks again,
Georgie
