Enhancing crosstabs

When you have provided the data definitions, the crosstab
is functional, but you can enhance it before using it. Because a
crosstab is a grid DataWindow object, you can enhance a crosstab using
the same techniques you use in other DataWindow objects. For example, you
can:

• Sort or filter rows

• Change the column headers

• Specify fonts, colors, mouse pointers, and borders

• Specify column display formats

For more on these and the other standard enhancements
you can make to DataWindow objects, see Chapter 19, “Enhancing DataWindow Objects .”

The rest of this section covers topics either unique to crosstabs
or especially important when working with crosstabs:

• “Specifying basic properties”

• “Modifying the data
  associated with the crosstab”

• “Changing the names used
  for the columns and rows”

• “Defining summary statistics”

• “Cross-tabulating ranges
  of values”

• “Creating static crosstabs”

• “Using property conditional
  expressions”
