The number of decimals displayed is generally
based on the format of the input variables and the type of statistic, but
for a chi-squared, you can't affect this via the variable format.
There are two ways to automate a precision
change. The most direct is to create an autoscript for the particular
table types of interest and change the precision in that. This could
be done with either Basic or Python.
The second way is to use the SPSSINC
MODIFY TABLES extension command for this. It could be run after each
crosstab where you want to change this, or it could be run to process all
tables of the appropriate type. I'm not sure what that is in this
case, since the crosstabs Chi-squared table already shows 3 decimals, but
the principle is the same.

[SPSSX-L] Decimal
places in output
Sent by:

Hi,
Does anyone have any suggestions for how to change the default number of
decimal places in output tables? In particular, for the output of Chi square
analysis, in the crosstabulation table, I want to increase the number of
decimal places of the percentage values to 2.
I’m aware that for some analyses the output gives the number of decimal
places in the Variable View plus 2, so increasing the decimal places set
in
the Variable View can increase those in the output, but this does not work
for Chi square tables.
Also, I know that I can double click the table in the output, highlight
the
column, click cell properties and change the number of decimal places that
way.
But is there a quicker way to do this for ALL tables in the output, or
change the default setting?
Thanks for any suggestions.
Catherine
