As you ask, I don't think you
understand my suggestion correctly.
I am not sure that I understand what
you mean by overlaps here, but if your
table makes sense, my suggestion should
too.
More importantly, why not try it?

Nick - If I understand your suggestions correctly
I don't think it will work for my case since the variables
I would like in the rows of my table overlap so I can't
turn them into categories of a single variable.
Any other suggestions? Thanks Alexandra
