OSCAR 3: Cross-Tab Reports

Processes used to analyse selections using crosstab analysis.

The crosstab wizard will load as shown below. As you will see, there are 2 types of crosstab, single and multi.

  • Single provides a simple breakdown of each selected attribute on a separate tab in the resulting Excel report.

  • Multi creates a pivot table of 2 attributes.

First select the category that contains the attributes you want to use and select their checkbox. You can select up to 3 on single.
