Cross Tables

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 row variables and column variables. Cross tables are often used in various names. For example, pivot tables and multi-dimensional tables are often used in Business Intelligence (BI) and OLAP contexts. In essence, they are the same tables operating on the same principles. Normally they have a grand total, row totals, column totals, cell values, and sub-totals.
