Re: st: RE: Summary statistics table problem

[George Hoffman <ghoffman@mcw.edu>]

Matt-
In Martin's solution, the x is just a dummy.
The rows are the contents - means of the var1 .. Varn - for each value of x,
which in this case is just a single dummy entry.
The columns are the values of rep78 - which are labels by their values
Thanks for your thoughts - I'm thinking there is already a way to do this
that I'm somehow overlooking, because it seems like a common function.
