Cross Tables / Pivot Tables - The Excel Addin

A cross table (crosstab for short) is a two-way table consisting of rows and columns. It is typically used to determine whether there is a relation between the row variable and the column variable. Cross tables are often used in various names. For example, pivot tables in Excel and multi-dimensional tables are often used in Business Intelligence (BI) and OLAP contexts.
