Number of 'censor' or 'hide'

[Ki Park]

Hi all,
I ran a Ctable to suppress some of the small counts in a bunch of tables (see syntax below)

CTABLES
  /FORMAT EMPTY='0' MISSING='.'
  /HIDESMALLCOUNTS COUNT=11
  /VLABELS VARIABLES=V1 V2 DISPLAY=both
  /TABLE V1 [UCOUNT "" Comma40.0] BY V2
  /CLABELS ROWLABELS=OPPOSITE
  /CATEGORIES VARIABLES=V1 V2  ORDER=a KEY=VALUE EMPTY=INCLUDE TOTAL=YES
  /TITLES TITLE = "V series>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>".

Is there a way to ask SPSS how many suppressions happened? I mean I could count the replacements in Word/Excel once the tables are exported, but wondering if there is a 'clock' or count feature in the Ctable or SPSSINC CENSOR TABLES.

Thanks.

Ki

Thanks for sharing the syntax — the use of /HIDESMALLCOUNTS is definitely helpful for confidentiality. Just make sure you validate that your suppressed data doesn't affect interpretation too much.
