What does Sample Metadata Cross-tab (No Codes) represent?
Overview
This is a sample-composition table and does not use codes or coded evidence. It crosses two document metadata variables to show how documents or cases are distributed across their categories. For example, a Gender by Age cross-tab describes the number or percentage of documents in each Gender–Age combination.
What to do
- Choose the row and column metadata variables.
- Choose n only, n (% of total), n (% of row), or n (% of column). Percentage of total is the default for sample description.
- Check the row totals, column totals, grand N, and any documents excluded because paired metadata are missing.
- Use Code Patterns by Two Metadata Variables when the question concerns codes rather than sample composition.
