Removing categories from a variable
You may not want to include all of the categories in a variable when you create a table. For example, you may want to exclude a category that does not contain any responses, or you may want to exclude the data for a particular category from your analysis.
You can use various methods to prevent categories from appearing in tables. The method you use will depend on your exact requirements. The examples below show the results of using different methods to remove the 65+ years category from a table of age by gender:

Note These examples are intended to show the results of applying different methods to the same table, rather than to give examples of real world tables.
