Hi,
Is your sample size relatively small? If so, I think you will find that
SPSS has done an exact test (hence the 'exact' p value) rather than a test
through the chi-square distribution. You could get a chi-square statistic
by doing the test by hand, but you would need to look up the associated p
value for the value of chi-square, as it might well differ slightly from
the exact p value. I'd suggest just reporting it as an exact test!
