15.7.3 Statistics Positions and Labels

/SLABELS
    [POSITION={COLUMN | ROW | LAYER}]
    [VISIBLE={YES | NO}]

The SLABELS subcommand controls the position and visibility of summary statistics for the TABLE subcommand that it follows.

POSITION sets the axis on which summary statistics appear. With POSITION=COLUMN, which is the default, each summary statistic appears in a column. For example:

CTABLES /TABLE=age [MEAN, MEDIAN] BY gender.

With POSITION=ROW, each summary statistic appears in a row, as shown below:

CTABLES /TABLE=age [MEAN, MEDIAN] BY gender /SLABELS POSITION=ROW.

POSITION=LAYER is also available to place each summary statistic in a separate layer.

Labels for summary statistics are shown by default. Use VISIBLE=NO to suppress them. Because unlabeled data can cause confusion, it should only be considered if the meaning of the data is evident, as in a simple case like this:

CTABLES /TABLE=ageGroup [TABLEPCT] /SLABELS VISIBLE=NO.
