Table generated at trip level
In the next table, the cell contents show not only the counts, but also the sum and mean summary statistics of the DaysAway numeric variable. This is a trip-level variable that stores the length of the trip in days. The sum values show the total number of days away and because the results are generated at the trip level, the mean values show the mean number of days per trip.

Look at the three figures in the top left cell of the table. The first figure is 24, which corresponds with the base in the fourth table shown above, which tabulates two trip-level variables at the trip level. This figure shows the total number of overseas trips that were taken. The next figure is 320, which is the total number of days for all the trips. The final figure is the mean, which shows the average number of days per trip.
