- Table Other Text: This shows the entered text for a text box appended to a non-text answer choice (for example, a text box on an “Other” choice).
- Text Analysis: This displays a table of the top ten words used and the count of their usage. Clicking View More will display a comprehensive list, which can be exported to Excel.
- Cross Tab: If you have created a cross tab in the Cross Tabulation area of the tool, you can select it here and display it in your report. You can also create a new cross tabulation from here.

Qtips
- When working with multiple data sources, make sure the sources ask for the same type of information and have the same answer choices. If you’d like to make a comparative table, a cross tabulation would be more appropriate.
- If a table is too small to hold all of its data, it will display as a torn sheet of paper at the bottom. Simply resize to show all information.
- Right-clicking a table will bring up the same editing and layout options, plus the option to create a new drill-down report based upon the table’s data.
