Setting decimal places in Frequency Tables

Paul Sillitoe
Just starting out to use SPSS for some simple case frequency analysis.



In Frequency Tables, is there any way to increase the decimal place setting,
for percentages, to more than one decimal place, which is the default?



I know that it can be done in Custom Tables, but I would like to avoid the
hassle of doing so, as the default Frequency Table is fine for my needs in
all other respects, and I have very many tables to generate.



Many thanks.

Re: Setting decimal places in Frequency Tables

Peck, Jon
Are you on SPSS Statistics 17?  If so, this can be done easily with the SPSSINC MODIFY TABLES extension command (details if needed).  If not, you would need to create an autoscript for FREQUENCIES to do this.

Jon Peck
