Leslie, use the WEIGHT function: i.e. WEIGHT BY relatecount before the
CROSSTAB procedure.

Subject: computing chi-square from existing table data
Suppose I have data of the following form:
freqrelate presyears relatecount
1 1 111
1 2 122
1 3 112
1 4 113
2 1 63
2 2 61
2 3 76
2 4 85
Freqrelate is a classification variable as is presyears - I took these
data from an existing table. Relatecount is the cell count for each of
the cells in the 2x4 table defined by freqrelate and presyears. I
remember once (long ago) having a similar situation and being somehow
able to use SPSS to weight by the variable with the cell frequencies in
it and get the table statistics, but I can no longer remember how. I
took a quick look in Raynald's Tools, but didn't find anything. How can
I do this in syntax? Thanks in advance.
