problems creating tables

Spice Weasel
Dear Listers:
 
I have data from a survey of just under 100 social service agencies. Each record contains the data for a single agency.
 
The agencies have been categorized into 5 groups. 
 
The questions have mutually exclusive answers, e.g., each agency may offer one, two or three programs.  
 
I would like to produce a table that shows the responses for the groups and for all agencies.  For example, for the question "How many programs does your agency offer?" I would like to produce the table below with # and column %: 
 

Number of programs offered

Group 1 Agencies Group 2 Agencies Group 3 Agencies Group 4 Agencies Group 5 Agencies All Agencies
One             
Two            
Three            

I would also like to produce a graph showing the above information  (%'s) in visual format.

I'm stumped as to how to produce either the table or the graph.  I thought about using AGGREGATE but I need to save the distribution for each category (i.e., % of One program agencies, % of Two program agencies, % of Three program agencies).
 
Any help would be appreciated.  I'm using v17.
 
TIA
Pat

Not enough info here.  What are your variables called and what are their categories (values)?  Can you send a sample data set of say 20 cases?
 
Think about
 
crosstabs type by programs .
 
. . .or whatever your vars are called.
 
Someone else will be better at graphics.
